  The complex nexus between climate and ocean governance is increasingly being acknowledged. Not only is there growing awareness of the risks posed to marine environments by climate change (deoxygenation, acidification, coral bleaching, etc.), there is also an increasing focus on the role of the ocean in mitigating adverse effects of climate change. Proposals for intervening into marine environments to help mitigate climate change (either by increasing ocean carbon sequestration or albedo properti…

• Antenna Arrays for CRES-based Neutrino Mass Measurement

  ArXiv.org · 2025-04-21

  preprintOpen access

  CRES is a technique for precision measurements of kinetic energies of charged particles, pioneered by the Project 8 experiment to measure the neutrino mass using the tritium endpoint method. It was recently employed for the first time to measure the molecular tritium spectrum and place a limit on the neutrino mass using a cm$^3$-scale detector. Future direct neutrino mass experiments are developing the technique to overcome the systematic and statistical limitations of current detectors. This pa…

• STRATEGIC APPROACHES TO EUTROPHICATION MANAGEMENT IN THE BLACK SEA: SCENARIO TESTING AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS

  Cercetări Marine - Recherches Marines · 2025-10-22

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Marine management involves assessing risks to natural and human systems and implementing measures to mitigate them. Eutrophication, driven by excess nutrients and organic matter, is a major risk in the Black Sea, largely caused by agricultural runoff, urban wastewater, maritime transport, and climate change. This study uses Bow-tie Analysis (BTA) and FCM (Fuzzy Cognitive Maps) to evaluate three IPCC-based management scenarios—Sustainable Future, Moderate Progress, and Deteriorating Conditions—to…

• Passivation-Free Ga-Polar AlGaN/GaN Recessed-Gate HEMTs on Sapphire with 2.8 W/mm POUT and 26.8% PAE at 94 GHz

  ArXiv.org · 2025-10-10

  preprintOpen access

  In this work, we demonstrate a passivation-free Ga-polar recessed-gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT on a sapphire substrate for W-band operation, featuring a 5.5 nm Al0.35Ga0.65N barrier under the gate and a 31 nm Al0.35Ga0.65N barrier in the gate access regions. The device achieves a drain current density of 1.8 A/mm, a peak transconductance of 750 mS/mm, and low gate leakage with a high on/off ratio of 10^7. Small-signal characterization reveals a current-gain cutoff frequency of 127 GHz and a maximum oscil…
