Energy transmission processes in the effectuation chain of solar forcing to the terrestrial atmosphereâa review
The Sun has an obvious quasi-11-year cycle and numerous short-term eruptive activities. There are four processes of energy transmission in the effectuation chain of solar forcing to the climate system: solar energy input into the atmosphere, atmospheric absorption of the input energy, transformation of the absorbed energy into dynamic and thermodynamic responses in the atmosphere, and coupling among all the layers affected by solar forcings. However, the four processes have not been discussed in their entirety. This present paper reviews studies over the last decade on how solar radiation varies during the solar cycle and solar eruptions, and, correspondingly, how the terrestrial atmosphere absorbs the input solar energy
Surface skyrmions and dual topological Hall effect in antiferromagnetic topological insulator EuCdAs
In this work, we synthesized single crystal of EuCdAs, which exhibits
A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) order with in-plane spin orientation below
= 9.5~K.Optical spectroscopy and transport measurements suggest its topological
insulator (TI) nature with an insulating gap around 0.1eV. Remarkably, a dual
topological Hall resistivity that exhibits same magnitude but opposite signs in
the positive to negative and negative to positive magnetic field hysteresis
branches emerges below 20~K. With magnetic force microscopy (MFM) images and
numerical simulations, we attribute the dual topological Hall effect to the
N\'{e}el-type skyrmions stabilized by the interactions between topological
surface states and magnetism, and the sign reversal in different hysteresis
branches indicates potential coexistence of skyrmions and antiskyrmions. Our
work uncovers a unique two-dimensional (2D) magnetism on the surface of
intrinsic AFM TI, providing a promising platform for novel topological quantum
states and AFM spintronic applications.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in -tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton
collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against
a boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and
transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range . The
data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy
of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb. Triple
differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum
fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also
measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent
fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the
measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into
the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any

Reduction of Human Mobility Matters during Early COVID-19 Outbreaks: Evidence from India, Japan and China
Mobility restrictions have been a heated topic during the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, multiple recent findings have verified its importance in blocking virus spread. Evidence on the association between mobility, cases imported from abroad and local medical resource supplies is limited. To reveal the association, this study quantified the importance of inter- and intra-country mobility in containing virus spread and avoiding hospitalizations during early stages of COVID-19 outbreaks in India, Japan, and China. We calculated the time-varying reproductive number (Rt) and duration from illness onset to diagnosis confirmation (Doc), to represent conditions of virus spread and hospital bed shortages, respectively. Results showed that inter-country mobility fluctuation could explain 80%, 35%, and 12% of the variance in imported cases and could prevent 20 million, 5 million, and 40 million imported cases in India, Japan and China, respectively. The critical time for screening and monitoring of imported cases is 2 weeks at minimum and 4 weeks at maximum, according to the time when the Pearsonâs Rs between Rt and imported cases reaches a peak (>0.8). We also found that if local transmission is initiated, a 1% increase in intra-country mobility would result in 1430 (±501), 109 (±181), and 10 (±1) additional bed shortages, as estimated using the Doc in India, Japan, and China, respectively. Our findings provide vital reference for governments to tailor their pre-vaccination policies regarding mobility, especially during future epidemic waves of COVID-19 or similar severe epidemic outbreaks
