The Structure of Micro-Variability in the WEBT BL Lacertae Observation

We present the results of an in-depth analysis of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) micro-variability observations made during a campaign done in 2020 on the blazar BL Lacertae. The data consisted of 231 days of optical imaging and we...

Faculty perceptions of a professional development program for developing CUREs and promoting inclusive and equitable teaching

ABSTRACT The Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) model can be used to explore how faculty prioritize learning about and adopting new pedagogical approaches. Here, we use the DOI framework to contextualize biology faculty perceptions of a profess...

So FAIR, so good

Large international collaborations in the field of Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics have been leading the implementation of FAIR principles for managing research data. These principles are essential when dealing with large volumes of data ove...

Transient measurement of phononic states with covariance-based stochastic spectroscopy

Deuteron photodisintegration by polarized photons in the region of the d⁎(2380)

We report the first large-acceptance measurement of the beam–spin asymmetry for deuteron photodisintegration (γ→d→pn) in the photon energy range 420...

Pt and CoB trilayer Josephson $$\pi $$ π junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Abstract We report on the electrical transport properties of Nb based Josephson junctions with Pt/Co $$_{68}$$ 68 B $$_{32}$$ 32 /Pt ferromagnetic barriers. The barriers exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which has the main advantag...

The Numerical Solution of Fractional Parabolic Partial Integro-Differential Eequations by Gaussian and Inverse Multiquadric Radial Basis Functions

Introduction Many mathematical formulations of physical phenomena contain integro-differential equations. These equations arise in fluid dynamics, biological models, chemical kinetics, ecology, control theory of financial mathematics, aeros...

Research Progresses of Flash Evaporation in Aerospace Applications

Liquid is overheated and evaporated quickly when it enters into the environment with lower saturation pressure than that corresponding to its initial temperature. This phenomenon is known as the flash evaporation. A natural low-pressure env...

Intense laser interaction with micro-bars

Abstract Intense laser fields interact very differently with micrometric rough surfaces than with flat objects. The interaction features high laser energy absorption and increased emission of MeV electrons, ions, and of hard x-rays. In this...

Heterogeneous Cytoskeletal Force Distribution Delineates the Onset Ca2+ Influx Under Fluid Shear Stress in Astrocytes

Mechanical perturbations increase intracellular Ca2+ in cells, but the coupling of mechanical forces to the Ca2+ influx is not well understood. We used a microfluidic chamber driven with a high-speed pressure servo to generate defined fluid...

Novel fractional integral inequalities for GA-Cr-convex functions and connections with information systems

Due to applicability of mathematical inequalities in control systems, actuarial science, information theory and its utilization in other sciences, several researchers are inclined to prove their refinements and generalizations. In the study...

Seemingly unrelated time series model for forecasting the peak and short-term electricity demand: Evidence from the Kalman filtered Monte Carlo method

In this extant paper, a multivariate time series model using the seemingly unrelated times series equation (SUTSE) framework is proposed to forecast the peak and short-term electricity demand using time series data from February 2, 2014, to...

Darboux operators for linear first-order multi-component equations in arbitrary dimensions

Lie Symmetry Analysis of C1m,a,b Partial Differential Equations

In this article, we discussed the Lie symmetry analysis of C1m,a,b fractional and integer order differential equations. The symmetry algebra of both differential equations is obtained and utilized to find the similarity reductions, invarian...

Impossibility of universal work extraction from coherence: reconciling axiomatic and resource-theory approaches

We compare how the impossibility of a universal work extractor from coherence arises from different approaches to quantum thermodynamics: an explicit protocol accounting for all relevant quantum resources, and axiomatic, information-theoret...

Intra-seasonal Variation of Rainfall and Climate Characteristics in Kabul River Basin

In Afghanistan, spring and summertime flash floods result in 54.3% of all natural disasters with an average annual economic loss of US$92.17 million between 1990 and 2014. Knowledge of climate and rainfall periodicity are urgently needed fo...

Influence of strain measurement methods on crack initiation and crack damage thresholds of shale

Abstract The crack initiation stress (σ ci) and crack damage stress (σ cd) are two important stress thresholds for describing the progressive failure process of rocks. Accurately obtaining these two stress thresholds is crucial for analyzin...

Air pollution mapping and variability over five European cities

Mapping urban pollution is essential for assessing population exposure and addressing associated health impacts. High urban concentrations are due to the proximity of sources such as traffic or residential heating, and to urban density with...

The formation of nitro-aromatic compounds under high NO_<i>x</i> and anthropogenic VOC conditions in urban Beijing, China

Nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs), as important contributors to the light absorption by brown carbon, have been widely observed in various ambient atmospheres; however, their formation in the urban atmosphere was little studied. In this work,...

Parabolic Equation Modeling of Propagation over Terrain Using Digital Elevation Model

The parabolic equation method based on digital elevation model (DEM) is applied on propagation predictions over irregular terrains. Starting from a parabolic approximation to the Helmholtz equation, a wide-angle parabolic equation is deduce...
