Climate change exacerbates the environmental impacts of agriculture

Agriculture’s global environmental impacts are widely expected to continue expanding, driven by population and economic growth and dietary changes. This Review highlights climate change as an additional amplifier of agriculture’s environmental impacts, by reducing agricultural productivity, reducing the efficacy of agrochemicals, increasing soil erosion, accelerating the growth and expanding the range of crop diseases and pests, and increasing land clearing. We identify multiple pathways thro...

Experimental Validation of 5G Positioning With Inter-Cell Clock Bias Correction

The advancement of fifth generation (5G) cellular networks offers significant opportunities for positioning services, yet the performance of these systems is currently hindered by the clock offset among 5G base stations in commercial networks, here referred to as inter-cell clock bias (ICCB). These biases introduce systematic errors in time of arrival (TOA) measurements, degrading localization accuracy. This paper addresses this challenge by utilizing a stationary reference receiver to estima...

Neural Conditional Transport Maps

We present a neural framework for learning conditional optimal transport (OT) maps between probability distributions. Our approach introduces a conditioning mechanism capable of processing both categorical and continuous conditioning variables simultaneously. At the core of our method lies a hypernetwork that generates transport layer parameters based on these inputs, creating adaptive mappings that outperform simpler conditioning methods. Comprehensive ablation studies demonstrate the superi...
