TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on how the electric vehicle emissions vary when compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, depending on the electric power plant fleet and the efficiency during the use-phase.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop an analytical approach to the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model that allows them to unravel the true origin of the absence of an epidemic threshold in heterogeneous networks.
Abstract: We develop an analytical approach to the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model that allows us to unravel the true origin of the absence of an epidemic threshold in heterogeneous networks. We find that a delicate balance between the number of high degree nodes in the network and the topological distance between them dictates the existence or absence of such a threshold. In particular, small-world random networks with a degree distribution decaying slower than an exponential have a vanishing epidemic threshold in the thermodynamic limit.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented full evolutionary calculations appropriate for the study of hydrogen-rich DA white dwarfs for a wide range of stellarmasses and for two different metallicities.
Abstract: We present full evolutionary calculations appropriate for the study of hydrogen-rich DA white dwarfs. This is
done by evolving white dwarf progenitors from the zero-age main sequence, through the core hydrogen-burning
phase, the helium-burning phase, and the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase to the white dwarf stage.
Complete evolutionary sequences are computed for a wide range of stellarmasses and for two different metallicities,
Z = 0.01, which is representative of the solar neighborhood, and Z = 0.001, which is appropriate for the study of old
stellar systems, like globular clusters. During the white dwarf cooling stage, we self-consistently compute the phase
in which nuclear reactions are still important, the diffusive evolution of the elements in the outer layers and, finally,
we also take into account all the relevant energy sources in the deep interior of the white dwarf, such as the release
of latent heat and the release of gravitational energy due to carbon–oxygen phase separation upon crystallization.
We also provide colors and magnitudes for these sequences, based on a new set of improved non-gray white dwarf
model atmospheres, which include the most up-to-date physical inputs like the Lyα quasi-molecular opacity. The
calculations are extended down to an effective temperature of 2500 K. Our calculations provide a homogeneous set
of evolutionary cooling tracks appropriate for mass and age determinations of old DA white dwarfs and for white
dwarf cosmochronology of the different Galactic populations.

TL;DR: A neural MT system using character-based embeddings in combination with convolutional and highway layers to replace the standard lookup-based word representations to provide improved results even when the source language is not morphologically rich is proposed.
Abstract: Neural Machine Translation (MT) has reached state-of-the-art results. However, one of the main challenges that neural MT still faces is dealing with very large vocabularies and morphologically rich languages. In this paper, we propose a neural MT system using character-based embeddings in combination with convolutional and highway layers to replace the standard lookup-based word representations. The resulting unlimited-vocabulary and affix-aware source word embeddings are tested in a state-of-the-art neural MT based on an attention-based bidirectional recurrent neural network. The proposed MT scheme provides improved results even when the source language is not morphologically rich. Improvements up to 3 BLEU points are obtained in the German-English WMT task.
