We introduce Nemotron-Cascade 2, an open 30B MoE model with 3B activated parameters that delivers best-in-class reasoning and strong agentic capabilities. Despite its compact size, its mathematical an...
Pretrained diffusion models serve as frozen teachers feeding downstream pipelines such as text-to-3D, single-step distillation, and data attribution. The teacher gradients these pipelines consume are ...
Carbon in the asthenosphere is unevenly distributed, reflecting interactions between the depleted mantle and materials added by plumes or subducting slabs. Nevertheless, mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB)...
We investigate the optimal execution of contracts that are used in merger\&acquisition deals. We consider cash-settled and physically delivered contracts between a broker and a counterpart. Contracts ...
Molluscs, especially octopus, is a nutritious seafood, containing high levels of proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals. However, marine pollution with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg)...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has become the de facto architecture for hundred-billion-parameter language models, yet its advantages at sub-billion scales for on-device deployment remain largely unexplored...
Seagrass meadows of Thalassia testudinum are key components of blue carbon ecosystems and effective bioindicators of environmental contamination due to their ability to incorporate both inorganic and ...
Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and infl...
Trace elements occur naturally in the environment, but anthropogenic activities can amplify their release, increasing exposure and bioaccumulation in marine predators such as seabirds. Mercury (Hg) in...
Speech conveys information through both words and vocal delivery. We evaluate four leading production realtime voice systems-OpenAI's GPT Realtime 2, Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, and Alibaba's Qwen...
We develop a tractable identification approach for strategic network formation models with both strategic link interdependence and individual unobserved heterogeneity (fixed effects). The key challeng...
Predicting customers' long-term revenue from sparse and irregular transaction data is central to marketing resource allocation in non-contractual settings, yet existing approaches face a trade-off. Tr...
Introduction: Semantic search, which retrieves documents based on conceptual similarity rather than keyword matching, offers substantial advantages for retrieval of clinical information. However, depl...
The widespread use of biocides to control biofouling has led to significant marine pollution. Among these, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) has emerged as a prominent antifouling co...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are globally recognised as contaminants of emerging concern due to their persistence, toxicity, endocrine-disrupting and immunosuppressive effects. Because o...
The Arctic and sub-Arctic are warming at least three times faster than the global average, altering terrestrial carbon delivery to the oceans and marine carbon cycling. The sequestration of such carbo...
The Gulf Stream is important for the climate system through its transport and air-sea exchange of heat. What is less well accepted is the role of the Gulf Stream in the carbon cycle. Here we examine h...
Despite the remoteness of their breeding sites, subantarctic seabirds are susceptible to anthropogenic pollutants (e.g. microplastics) and other chemical stressors (e.g. plastic additives) that are re...
Marine pollution is an escalating global concern, and marine mammals are widely recognized as sentinels of cumulative chemical and biological stressors in coastal ecosystems. South American otariids (...
Murcia coastline sustains high marine biodiversity but has suffered severe impacts from toxic heavy-metal discharges. We report mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) levels, and the Se:Hg molar ratio, in liv...
