Phase plots of coupled maps have shown turbulent, semi-ordered, intermittent and ordered behaviour as a function of control parameters for networks of uniform scale. We investigate the dependence of coupled map dynamics on scale, i.e. number of neurons. We compare results for globally coupled maps (GCMs) and ones with minor lesions, employing a new chaotic function that we propose. The behaviou...

To identify promising exoplanets for atmospheric characterization and to make the best use of observational data, a thorough understanding their atmospheres is needed. 3D general circulation models (GCMs) are one most comprehensive tools available this task will be used interpret observations temperate rocky exoplanets. Due parameterization choices made in GCMs, they can produce different resul...

Global Climate Models (GCMs) exhibit substantial biases in their simulation of tropical climate. One particularly problematic bias exists GCMs' the rainband known as Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Much precipitation on Earth falls within ITCZ, which plays a key role setting Earth's temperature by affecting global energy transports, and partially dictates dynamics largest interannual mod...

Extreme weather events are more detrimental to human culture and ecosystems than typical patterns. A multimodel ensemble (MME) of the top-performing global climate models (GCMs) simulate 11 precipitation extremes was selected using a hybrid method project their changes in Pakistan. It also compared benefits all GCMs only when projecting for two future periods (2020–2059) (2060–2099) four shared...

Cloud fraction (CF) significantly affects the short- and long-wave radiation. Its realistic representation in general circulation models (GCMs) still poses great challenges modeling atmosphere. Here, we present a neural network-based (NN-based) diagnostic scheme that uses grid-mean temperature, pressure, liquid ice water mixing ratios, relative humidity to simulate sub-grid CF. The scheme, trai...

Objective: Homalium letestui Pellegr (Flacourtiaceae) is used in traditional medicine in parts of Nigeria for the treatment of malaria, ulcer, and inflammatory diseases and as an aphrodisiac. This investigation was aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic, immunomodulatory, and antileishmanial properties of stem extract and fractions of Homalium letestui (H. letestui). Materials and Methods: Cytotoxic a...
