1. Exploring LLMs and MCTS for Emergent Narrative 

   Guignard, Quentin (2024)

   This thesis addresses the development of a hybrid combining method between LLMs and MCTS used in the NPC-engine. Our coupling scheme enables a bridge between language models unstructured data and MCTS structured data. This link between the two systems allows influencing agents behavior through a chat conversation system paired with a LLM-based reflection scheme. We analyzed our design with a user study comparing a LLMs chat-based game ...

2. Interannual Variability of Marine Nitrogen Fixation in the Western Tropical Atlantic 

   Haerri, Jana; Louchard, Domitille; Gruber, Nicolas (2024)

   Global Biogeochemical Cycles

   N2 fixation is a central process of the marine nitrogen cycle, yet little is known about how this process varies from year-to-year. Here, we investigate this variability in the Western Tropical Atlantic (WTA), a region where N2 fixation is prevalent, fueled, in part, by the nutrient input from the Amazon River. We use hindcast simulations from 1983 through 2019 with the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) coupled to the Biogeochemical ...

3. Observations of root hair patterning in soils: Insights from synchrotron-based X-ray computed microtomography 

   Duddek, Patrick; Papritz, Andreas; Ahmed, Mutez Ali; et al. (2024)

   Plant and Soil

   Background And Aims Root hair emergence is affected by heterogeneities in water availability in the growth medium. Root hairs preferentially emerge into air, whereas their emergence into water is inhibited. Yet, these results were based either on destructive methods or on roots grown on an agar-air interface. Additionally, there is a lack of knowledge about the spatial distribution of root hairs as hairs elongate radially across the ...

4. Integrating climate policies in the sustainability analysis of green chemicals 

   Nabera, Abhinandan; Martin, Antonio Jose; Istrate, Robert; et al. (2024)

   Green Chemistry

   New and enhanced processes will not be the only drivers toward a sustainable chemical industry. Implementing climate policies will impact all components of the chemical supply chain over the following decades, making improvements in energy generation, material extraction, or transportation contribute to reducing the overall impacts of chemical technologies. Including this synergistic effect when comparing technologies offers a clearer ...

5. TAKE CARE: MINERALIZATION, HYDROCHEMISTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENTS OF GREEK THERMALISM IN THE NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURIES. 

   Xynogala, Lydia (2024)

   The scientific analysis of mineral springs, rocks, and soil in Greece in the late nineteenth century led to a new understanding of the country’s landscape and resources: its airs, waters, and places. In a process of conceptual mineralization, the terrain was documented as a broad chemical network with healing properties. Doctors, chemists, and geologists constructed knowledge through fieldwork, laboratory studies, and treatises. From ...
