Abstract	Johnson, Bilovich, and Tuckett set out a helpful framework for thinking about how humans make decisions under radical uncertainty and contrast this with classical decision theory. We show that classical theories assume so little about psychology that they are not necessarily in conflict with this approach, broadening its appeal.

Abstract	Burns are a common mechanism of pediatric injury worldwide and are a notable cause of disability-adjusted life-years. Burns in children represent a unique challenge, due to the differences from adults regarding physical characteristics, physiology and psychology. This retrospective cohort study examined trends of pediatric burns in New South Wales (NSW), Australia from 2010-22. It specifically focused on the changes in burn etiology and patient characteristics, body area affected, total body surface area, first aid, location and management. It also compared a 'Pre-COVID-19' and 'Peri-COVID-19' era to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the pattern of pediatric burns, as children are at higher risk of injury during times of social disruption. The study found that burns in children continue to be concentrated in the toddler and preschooler age group and the main mechanisms of injury remain as scald and contact burns. In recent years, there has been a rising trend of friction burns, alongside a fall in flame burns and severe burns. Management of pediatric burns has also evolved, with predominant use of ambulatory care and low rates of admission and operative intervention. Trends in burn injury continue to evolve with time and over the last decade in NSW, key changes in the pattern of pediatric burns have been observed, with evolving mechanisms of injury, reduced severity of burns and a shift towards ambulatory care.

Abstract	Abstract Clouds, especially low clouds, are crucial for regulating Earth's energy balance and mediating the response of the climate system to changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. Despite their importance for climate, they remain relatively poorly understood and are inaccurately represented in climate models. A principal reason is that the high computational expense of simulating them with large‐eddy simulations (LES) has inhibited broad and systematic numerical experimentation and the generation of large data sets for training parametrization schemes for climate models. Here we demonstrate LES of low clouds on tensor processing units (TPUs), application‐specific integrated circuits that were originally developed for machine learning applications. We show that TPUs in conjunction with tailored software implementations can be used to simulate computationally challenging stratocumulus clouds in conditions observed during the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS) field study. The TPU‐based LES code successfully reproduces clouds during DYCOMS and opens up the large computational resources available on TPUs to cloud simulations. The code enables unprecedented weak and strong scaling of LES, making it possible, for example, to simulate stratocumulus with 10× speedup over real‐time evolution in domains with a 34.7 km × 53.8 km horizontal cross section. The results open up new avenues for computational experiments and for substantially enlarging the sample of LES available to train parameterizations of low clouds.

Abstract	In this paper, we present a model-free detection-based tracking approach for detecting and tracking moving objects in street scenes from point clouds obtained via a Doppler LiDAR that can not only collect spatial information (e.g., point clouds) but also Doppler images by using Doppler-shifted frequencies. Using our approach, Doppler images are used to detect moving points and determine the number of moving objects followed by complete segmentations via a region growing technique. The tracking approach is based on Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) with two extensions. One is that a point cloud descriptor, Oriented Ensemble of Shape Function (OESF), is proposed to evaluate the structure similarity when doing object-to-track association. Another is to use Doppler images to improve the estimation of dynamic state of moving objects. The quantitative evaluation of detection and tracking results on different datasets shows the advantages of Doppler LiDAR and the effectiveness of our approach.

Abstract	This paper examines how proximity to an ethanol plant influences land-use and crop choice among producers. We estimated a Tobit model of crop choice within parcels located in Central Nebraska in a 2014 sample period in order to analyze changes in land-use and crop choice. We employed Geographic Information System (GIS) databases to access relevant data on crop choice and other land uses in the study area parcels, in addition to detailed information on the location and capacity of irrigation wells. We utilized an instrumental variable approach to account for the endogeneity of crop choice with ethanol refinery locations in the study area. Our regional model also took into account specific characteristics of the local processing markets for grains, including animal food manufacturers and livestock as well as ethanol plants. Our estimates revealed that ethanol plants alter land-use in several ways. We found that proximity to an ethanol plant increases the share of land allocated to corn cultivation up to a distance of 30 miles and that the portion of land parcels allocated to corn production falls with distance from an ethanol plant in a non-linear pattern. We also find that land allocation to grassland and pasture rises with distance from ethanol plants.

Abstract	Abstract Advances in environmental and agricultural management are increasingly enabled by unattended data acquisition using internet‐of‐things (IOT) approaches. These approaches combine advanced sensors and wireless data transmission to automatically convey field data to the internet. Users, either human or machine, then can access and act upon the data from nearly anywhere in the world. Particularly in the case of machines automatically acting on the data, robustness, reliability and accuracy of data are crucial to preventing unintended outcomes of machine operations and continued supply of key services. Low‐cost, low‐power, and solar‐powered systems are important to enable market entry of advanced decision support systems based on IOT data acquisition approaches. The polar vortex outbreak of February 2021 in the central United States provided an extreme test of such a node and gateway system for automatic data acquisition and telemetry to the internet over the cellular telephone network. The system, codesigned by USDA‐ARS and Acclima, performed admirably despite air temperatures reaching a minimum of −24 °C, temperatures < 0 °C for 8 d and < −7 °C for 6 d, two snowstorms, and overcast conditions. The six nodes, gateway, and 36 sensors continued to function reliably with a data transmission failure rate of <2 in 10,000 even though the Li‐ion batteries could not be recharged for 7 d due to temperatures <5 °C. The system reports geographic position of each node and gateway, model numbers and firmware versions of all equipment, including sensors, date, and time of sensor readings, and individual sensor elevations relative to a reference surface, affording data self‐identification for unfettered use by remote systems.

Abstract	Despite significant advances in ensuring the safety of the blood supply, there is continued risk of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) from newly emerging or re-emerging infections. Globally, several pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) for blood safety have been in development as an alternative to traditional treatment methods. Despite broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, some of the approved ultraviolet (UV) light-based PRTs, understandably due to UV light-associated toxicities, fall short in preserving the full functional spectrum of the treated blood components. As a safer alternative to the UV-based microbicidal technologies, investigations into the use of violet-blue light in the region of 405 nm have been on the rise as these wavelengths do not impair the treated product at doses that demonstrate microbicidal activity. Recently, we have demonstrated that a 405 nm violet-blue light dose of 270 J/cm 2 was sufficient for reducing bacteria and the parasite in plasma and platelets suspended in plasma while preserving the quality of the treated blood product stored for transfusion. Drawn from the previous experience, here we evaluated the virucidal potential of 405 nm violet-blue light dose of 270 J/cm 2 on an important blood-borne enveloped virus, the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), in human plasma. Both test plasma (HIV-1 spiked and treated with various doses of 405 nm light) and control plasma (HIV-1 spiked, but not treated with the light) samples were cultured with HIV-1 permissive H9 cell line for up to 21 days to estimate the viral titers. Quantitative HIV-1 p24 antigen (HIV-1 p24) levels reflective of HIV-1 titers were measured for each light dose to assess virus infectivity. Our results demonstrate that a 405 nm light dose of 270 J/cm 2 is also capable of 4–5 log HIV-1 reduction in plasma under the conditions tested. Overall, this study provides the first proof-of-concept that 405 nm violet-blue light successfully inactivates HIV-1 present in human plasma, thereby demonstrating its ...

Abstract	One of the intrinsic properties of conventional terrestrial laser scanning technology is the unevenness of its point density over the scene where objects rendered closer to the scanner are more densely covered than the ones far away. This uneven distribution can be amplified as the working range of a laser scanner gets longer. In such case a higher pulse repetition rate (PRR) is applied to the whole scanning area and the scanning time will be dramatically increased. To improve the efficiency of the conventional laser scanning technology, a prototype of adaptive scanning technology, the HRS3D-AS scanner has been developed by Blackmore Sensors and Analytics, Inc. This paper briefly describes the working principles of the adaptive scanner and presents a thorough evaluation on the distributions of the point density in comparison to the conventional scanning. Based on this study, we show that such a new technology can produce a point cloud of more uniform density and less data volume. The overall field scanning time can be reduced by several times compared to the conventional, PRR-fixed scanning. Such properties are expected to significantly simplify the algorithmic development and increase the productivity in data acquisition and processing. The limitations of this new adaptive scanning technology are also discussed in terms of redundant and unresolved details. Finally, recommendations related to the practicing of such adaptive scan are discussed.

Abstract	El artículo busca aproximarse al proceso de institucionalización de las relaciones internacionales como una disciplina autónoma en la educación superior colombiana. Se analizan los programas de pregrado a través de su localización, la naturaleza de la institución, denominaciones, justificaciones, núcleo básico de conocimiento y la acreditación de alta calidad. Como resultado, se obtiene que, desde finales de la década de los noventas, la oferta de programas de relaciones internacionales ha aumentado considerablemente y esto ha permitido la institucionalización de la disciplina, lo que se ha materializado en decisiones oficiales y el fortalecimiento de una comunidad epistémica. Asimismo, identificamos una notable centralización de la formación en relaciones internacionales en la capital del país, así como una concentración de su oferta en universidades privadas y muy pocos programas con acreditación de alta calidad. Si bien este panorama refleja un fortalecimiento disciplinar, también persiste una notable heterogeneidad con respecto a las concepciones que las universidades tienen sobre las relaciones internacionales alrededor de su lugar en las ciencias sociales (como parte de la ciencia política, como disciplina autónoma o como un proyecto multidisciplinar).
