Beyond free trade in raw materials: Reconciling international trade rules with planetary boundaries
(2024-06-13)International trade rules enshrined in agreements like the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) promote free trade, with exceptions for environmental protection. This paper explores the tension between these rules ... -
LCADNet: A Novel Light CNN Architecture for EEG-based Alzheimer Disease Detection
(2024-06-11)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and incurable neurologi- cal disorder with a rising mortality rate, worsened by error-prone, time-intensive, and expensive clinical diagnosis methods. Automatic AD detection methods ... -
Faraday rotation as a probe of radio galaxy environment in RMHD AGN jet simulations
(2024-06-30)Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) play an integral role in galaxy formation and evolution by influencing galaxies and their environments through radio jet feedback. Historically, interpreting observations of radio galaxies and ... -
