Quasiperiodic Super-Alfvénic Slippage along Flare Ribbons Observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph

The apparent slipping motion of flare loops is regarded as a key feature of the 3D magnetic reconnection in the solar flares.The slippage with a super-Alfvénic speed could be Knife Sharpeners defined as slipping–running reconnection, while the slippage with a sub-Alfvénic speed is called slipping reconnection.Due to the limitation of the observ

Exploring the Potential of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Combat COVID-19 and Existing Opportunities for LMIC: A Scoping Review

Background: In the face of the current time-sensitive COVID-19 pandemic, the limited capacity of healthcare systems resulted in an emerging need to develop newer methods to control the spread of the pandemic.Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) have a vast potential to exponentially optimize health care research.The use of AI-dri

The geomorphic structure of the runoff peak

This paper develops a theoretical framework to investigate the core dependence of peak flows on the geomorphic properties of river basins.Based on the theory of transport by travel times, and simple hydrodynamic characterization of floods, this new framework invokes the linearity and invariance of the hydrologic response to provide analytical and s
