description: We present a phenomenological study for the production of the Higgs boson at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD via the vector boson fusion (VBF) process. After a general discussion about the different production channels of the Higgs, we show results for hadron colliders like LHC and Tevatron in VBF. The theoretical predictions are obtained using the structure function approach. This approximation turns out to be more accurate than the precision to which the VBF Higgs production channel can be considered a well defined process by itself and the theoretical uncertainty are of the order of 1-2%. The uncertainties due to parton distributions are also discussed and are estimated to be at the same level.

description: We show that the origin of electronic transitions of molecular many-body systems can be revealed by a quantified natural transition orbitals (QNTO) analysis and the electronic excitations of the total system can be mapped onto a standard orbitals set of a reference system. We further illustrate QNTO on molecular systems by studying the origin of electronic transitions of DNA moiety, thymine and thymidine. This QNTO analysis also allows us to assess the performance of various functionals used in time-dependent density functional response theory.

1482: Leonardo in transito, da Firenze a Milano
Creators: name: Versiero, Marco
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Gargnano
Year: 2021

description: This contribution is aimed at summarizing the historical circumstances of Leonardo’s trip from Florence to Milan in 1482, by examining, in particular, their political implications and consequences. In the context of a network of personal relations – still Florentine in their origin and Medicean as for their social background – his arrival at the Sforza court seems the result of the subtle direction of Lorenzo the Magnificent, in the broader frame of the latter’s diplomatic and cultural exchanges with Ludovico the Moor, at the time of their mutual involvement in the war of Ferrara (1481-1484). Il contributo si propone di ricapitolare le circostanze storiche del “transito” di Leonardo da Firenze a Milano nel 1482, esaminandone in particolare le implicazioni e ripercussioni politiche. In una rete di relazioni ancora fiorentine e di estrazione medicea, il suo arrivo alla corte sforzesca appare il risultato della sottile regia di Lorenzo il Magnifico, nella più ampia cornice degli scambi diplomatici e culturali di quest’ultimo con Ludovico il Moro, nel frangente del loro comune coinvolgimento nella guerra di Ferrara (1481-1484).

LEUKOCYTE TELOMERE LENGTH, TELOMERASE ACTIVITY AND PREVALENCE OF AGE-RELATED DISEASES IN SEMISUPERCENTENARIANS, CENTENARIANS AND CENTENARIANS' OFFSPRING
Creators: name: TEDONE, ENZO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Centenarians and their offspring are increasingly considered a useful model to study and characterize the mechanisms underlying healthy aging and longevity. The aim of this project is to compare the prevalence of age-related diseases, telomere length (TL), a marker of biological age and mortality, and telomerase activity, an enzyme able to lengthen telomeres, across five groups of subjects: semisupercentenarians (SSCENT) (105?109 years old), centenarians (CENT) (100?104 years old), centenarians' offspring (CO), age- and gender-matched offspring of parents who both died at an age in linewith life expectancy (CT) and age- and gender-matched offspring of both non-long-lived parents (NLO). Information was collected on lifestyle, past and current diseases, medical history and medication use. SSCENT displayed a lower prevalence of acute myocardial infarction (p = 0.027), angina (p = 0.016) and depression (p = 0.021) relative to CENT. CO appeared to be healthier compared to CT who, in turn, displayed a lower prevalence of both arrhythmia (p = 0.034) and hypertension (p = 0.046) than NLO, characterized by the lowest parental longevity. Interestingly, CO and SSCENT exhibited the longest (p b 0.001) and the shortest (p b 0.001) telomeres respectively while CENT showed no difference in TL compared to the younger CT and NLO. Up to now, telomerase activity was assessed only in SSCENT and CO, with the latter showing a significantly lower telomerase activity compared to SSCENT (p=0.031). Our results strengthen the hypothesis that the longevity of parents may influence the health status of their offspring. Moreover, our data also suggest that both CENT and their offspring may be characterized by a better TL maintenance which, in turn, may contribute to their longevity and healthy aging. The observation that SSCENT showed considerable shorter telomeres compared to CENT may suggest a progressive impairment of TL maintenance mechanisms over the transition from centenarian to semisupercentenarian age. Accordingly, the higher level of telomerase activity found in SSCENT may be a compensatory mechanism induced by an accelerated telomere disfunction.

description: After having reconstructed, as far as the sources allow, Luigi Pulci's stays in Milan and his relations with the Milanese milieu, which are echoed on his literary work, the essay focuses on other characters, closely linked to the author of Morgante, who in those years attended the Sforza court assiduously. Even the writings of Piero Vespucci, Benedetto Dei and Giovanni Ridolfi, in fact, help to outline a portrait of Milan and its court as it might have appeared to the Florentine visitors of the time. Dopo aver ricostruito, per quanto le fonti consentano di fare, i vari soggiorni di Luigi Pulci a Milano e le sue relazioni con l'ambiente milanese, che ebbero significativi riverberi sulla sua opera letteraria, il saggio si concentra su altri personaggi, strettamente collegati all'autore del Morgante, che in quegli stessi anni frequentavano assiduamente la corte sforzesca. Anche le testimonianze di Piero Vespucci, Benedetto Dei e Giovanni Ridolfi, infatti, contribuiscono a delineare un ritratto della città di Milano e della sua corte come poteva apparire agli occhi dei visitatori fiorentini dell'epoca.

Analysis of gold extraction processes of artisanal and small-scale gold minining In Portovelo-Zaruma, Ecuador
Creators: name: De Oliveira Gonçalves, Adriana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) play a significant role in local economies and communities of several developing countries. Worldwide, ASGM is one of the biggest sources of mercury pollution. Every year, artisanal miners release approximately 727 tonnes per year of mercury to the environment. Globally, nearly 16 million people are directly or indirectly involved in ASGM activities using rudimentary techniques. Even though there are substantial potential socio-economic benefits of ASGM, it can be extremely damaging environmentally and often has serious health and safety consequences for workers and surrounding communities. This study focuses mainly on the operations of gold processing centers in Portovelo-Zaruma in southern Ecuador, which represent the largest source of environmental contamination in the Puyango-Tumbes River Basin. Furthermore, this study aimed to characterize the types of processing centers currently operating in Portovelo-Zaruma to determine the amount of gold produced, the amount of mercury and cyanide used and lost by these processing centers, and the amount of tailings produced in the region. This study explains how contamination is generated by artisanal and small-scale miners through a comprehensive analysis of the processing centers and also analyzes aspects of different intervention approaches. Approximately 1.6 million tonnes/annum of tailings with cyanide and heavy metals have been produced by the 87 processing centers in the studied region. In 2015, approximately 6.0 tonnes of gold/annum were produced by all processing centers. In 2015, there was an increase of NaCN use of approximately 31% in comparison to 2013. Each plant uses on average 2.05 tonnes/month of NaCN, totalling 24.6 tonnes/a/plant. Considering that 95% of the plants are using cyanidation to process ore or gravity separation tailings, this would amount to an estimated yearly consumption of NaCN of approximately 1550 and 2040 tonnes for 2013 and 2015, respectively. In 2013, 78% of the processing centers were using amalgamation with 1.5 tonnes/a of mercury lost to the environment. In 2015, 65% of the plants were still using amalgamation, mainly chanchas, and the total mercury lost decreased to 576 kg/a in which 243 kg/a was lost with tailings and 333 kg/a lost to the atmosphere.

description: Starting from a Venetian manuscript illuminated by Cristoforo de Predis, the essay investigates the influence of Venetian miniature on late Fifteenth century Lombard manuscripts. It focuses on the presence of Peter Ugelheimer in Milan, a German entrepreneur and collector of incunabula illuminated in Venice, and of Antonio Grifo, a Venetian poet in contact with the Milanese humanists. Partendo da un codice miniato da Cristoforo de Predis a Venezia, il saggio indaga l’influsso della miniatura veneta sui manoscritti lombardi della fine del Quattrocento. In particolare, si concentra sulla presenza a Milano di Peter Ugelheimer, imprenditore tedesco e collezionista di incunaboli miniati a Venezia, e di Antonio Grifo, poeta veneziano in contatto con gli umanisti milanesi.

Un poema epico in "lingua toscana" alla corte milanese: la "Sforziade" di Antonio Cornazano
Creators: name: Carapezza, Sandra
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Gargnano
Year: 2021

description: The poet and courtier Antonio Cornazano arrives in Milan, at the court of Francesco Sforza, after a period in Siena, where - according to him - he learns the Tuscan language. Between 1451 and 1459 he writes a poem in terza rima about the Duke of Milan (Sforziade or Sforzeide). Cornazano comes from Piacenza: because of his origin, the poem gives prominence to the events concerning the hometown; there is also memories of the writer’s period in Rome. This essay introduces the poem, still little studied by scholars, highlighting the multiple writer’s aims: encomiastic purposes, literary ambitions, autobiographical implications. Spring up the suggestions from many cultural centers of Italy and the role of propaganda into the work. An essay on the features (including linguistic ones) of the poem comes out by analyzing an episode of the last book, the battle of Borgomanero, in synopsis with the parallel episode in the Giovanni Simonetta’s Commentarii translated by Landino, in the Bernardino Corio’s Patria Historia and in the Life of Bartolomeo Colleoni in Latin by Cornazano himself. Il letterato piacentino Antonio Cornazano approda a Milano, alla corte di Francesco Sforza, dopo un soggiorno a Siena, dove – a suo dire – apprende la lingua toscana. Tra il 1451 e il 1459 compone un poema in terzine in onore del signore della città (Sforziade o Sforzeide). La provenienza piacentina determina il peculiare interesse per gli eventi della storia della città natale; nel poema inoltre c’è traccia del soggiorno romano dello scrittore. Si delinea qui una presentazione dell’opera, ancora poco studiata dalla critica, ponendo in risalto la convergenza di motivi diversi nelle intenzioni dell’autore: ragioni encomiastiche, ambizioni letterarie, suggestioni autobiografiche. Emergono gli apporti che giungono da centri culturali diversi e insieme il carattere propagandistico della narrazione di Cornazano. Si offre un saggio delle caratteristiche (anche linguistiche) del poema analizzandone un episodio dell’ultimo libro, il racconto della battaglia di Borgomanero, in sinossi con l’episodio corrispondente nei Commentarii di Giovanni Simonetta tradotti da Landino, nella Patria Historia di Bernardino Corio e nella Vita di Bartolomeo Colleoni in latino dello stesso Cornazano.

description: Now a day's many organizations are required to communicate online on a daily basis, 24-hour, seven-days-a-week, to gain the desired competitive advantages and profits; although there are a variety of disruptions that may occur within business application such as broken (off-line) database-links and unhanded database exceptions. Such cases will end the automated business work, and force business users to continue business procedures and functionalities via paper work, which causes additional resources with less business competitive advantages. In this paper, we will propose a new model in which we embed short message services (SMS) within business applications using the SMS Gateway such as "Ozeki Message Server", and programmed application packages. By using our proposed model, we can maintain business continuity when a partial disruption occurs and then switch to our application model. As a result to the experimental work, we conclude that our model supports business continuity since it supports the account balance modification while the database link is disrupted. In addition, we carried out each step twice and the scenario was reliable since all of its steps were reliable.

The securitization of free trade in Northeast Asia
Creators: name: Kennedy, Trevor Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This research considers the rise of bilateral free trade agreements and regional trade agreements in Northeast Asia and their impact on regional security policies, through an analysis of securitization at the government level in China, Japan, and South Korea under current governments/administrations. This thesis finds that the approach to securitization and subsequent policy formulation in the region is diverging between Japan, which seeks to promote and use free trade agreements to bolster ties with regionally important countries in a bid to reduce reliance and the likelihood of Chinese economic dependency, and China and South Korea, which are both promoting regionally inclusive trade ties as a means to promote economic interdependence and stability. The methods of investigation employed in this thesis are both qualitative and quantitative. Quantitative analysis is based on merchandise trade data, demonstrating the importance of trade among the aforementioned countries. Polling data is also used to illustrate current attitudes towards neighbours. Qualitative analysis relies on a mix of economic and international relations literature on subjects related to trade and security, including securitization. Analysis is also based on government policy documents, speeches, and journalistic articles.

description: We observed outer regions of a bright cluster of galaxies A2142 with Suzaku. Temperature and brightness structures were measured out to the virial radius ($r_{200}$) with good sensitivity. We confirmed the temperature drop from 9 keV around the cluster center to about 3.5 keV at $r_{200}$, with the density profile well approximated by the $β$ model with $β= 0.85$. Within $0.4\r_{200}$, the entropy profile agrees with $r^{1.1}$, as predicted by the accretion shock model. The entropy slope becomes flatter in the outer region and negative around $r_{200}$. These features suggest that the intracluster medium in the outer region is out of thermal equilibrium. Since the relaxation timescale of electron-ion Coulomb collision is expected to be longer than the elapsed time after shock heating at $r_{200}$, one plausible reason of the low entropy is the low electron temperature compared to that of ions. Other possible explanations would be gas clumpiness, turbulence and bulk motions of ICM\@. We also searched for a warm-hot intergalactic medium around $r_{200}$ and set an upper limit on the oxygen line intensity. Assuming a line-of-sight depth of 2 Mpc and oxygen abundance of 0.1 solar, the upper limit of an overdensity is calculated to be 280 or 380, depending on the foreground assumption.

description: We present the results from 10 nights of observations of the globular cluster NGC 6981 (M72) in the V, R and I Johnson wavebands. We employed the technique of difference image analysis to perform precision differential photometry on the time-series images, which enabled us to carry out a census of the under-studied variable star population of the cluster. We show that 20 suspected variables in the literature are actually non-variable, and we confirm the variable nature of another 29 variables while refining their ephemerides. We also detect 11 new RR Lyrae variables and 3 new SX Phe variables, bringing the total confirmed variable star count in NGC 6981 to 43. We performed Fourier decomposition of the light curves for a subset of RR Lyrae stars and used the Fourier parameters to estimate the fundamental physical parameters of the stars using relations available in the literature. Mean values of these physical parameters have allowed us to estimate the physical parameters of the parent cluster. We derive a metallicity of [Fe/H]_ZW = -1.48+-0.03 on the Zinn & West (1984) scale (or [Fe/H]_UVES = -1.38+-0.03 on the new Carretta et al. (2009) scale) for NGC 6981, and distances of ~16.73+-0.36 kpc and ~16.68+-0.36 kpc from analysis of the RR0 and RR1 stars separately. We also confirm the Oosterhoff type I classification for the cluster, and show that our colour-magnitude data is consistent with the age of ~12.75+-0.75 Gyr derived by Dotter et al (2010).

description: The ninth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars (OIII-CVS) comprises RR Lyr stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Our sample consists of 2475 variable stars, of which 1933 pulsate in the fundamental mode (RRab), 175 are the first overtone pulsators (RRc), 258 oscillate simultaneously in both modes (RRd) and 109 stars are suspected second-overtone pulsators (RRe). 30 objects are Galactic RR Lyr stars seen in the foreground of the SMC. We discuss some statistical features of the sample. Period distributions show distinct differences between SMC and LMC populations of RR Lyr variable stars, with the SMC stars having on average longer periods. The mean periods for RRab, RRc and RRe stars are 0.596, 0.366 and 0.293 days, respectively. The mean apparent magnitudes of RRab stars are equal to 19.70 mag in the V-band and 19.12 mag in the I-band. Spatial distribution of RR Lyr stars shows that the halo of the SMC is roughly round in the sky, however the density map reveals two maxima near the center of the SMC. For each object the multi-epoch V- and I-band photometry collected over 8 or 13 years of observations and finding charts are available to the astronomical community from the OGLE Internet archive.

description:  No one or authority is and should be above the law in a republican and democratic society for the purpose of good governance, rule of law, natural justice, objectivity and equality before the law. It is within this perspective that John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton (1834-1902) famously known Lord Acton1 the English Catholic, historian and writer said “power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely, Great men are almost always bad men” in other words, absolute power or discretion is an absolute monster which brings into question the supremacy of the constitution2 and lays down the rule of men and not the rule of law over men. It is therefore noted that the doctrine of separation3 of powers is vital and capital in a nation to control and limit the powers of the three institutions, namely the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary with checks and balances in order to protect and promote liberty and equality by preventing abuse of power. So, Judicial Review[1] is widely concerned with legality of the decision-making process of the Executive (Government), not with the merits of the decision. To put it simply, Judicial review is the legal power and capacity of a Court to determine if a statute, treaty or administrative regulations contradicts or violates the provisions of an existing law, which may be s State constitution or the Federal constitution the supreme law of the land. The purpose of this study is to deeply assess the effectiveness of judicial review through a qualitative and critical approach by examining on the one hand its limitations or challenges on the other hand this paper will seek and propose some strategies or techniques to better overcome and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Judicial review .

description: We numerically construct a family of five-dimensional black holes exhibiting a line of first-order phase transitions terminating at a critical point at finite chemical potential and temperature. These black holes are constructed so that the equation of state and baryon susceptibilities approximately match QCD lattice data at vanishing chemical potential. The critical endpoint in the particular model we consider has temperature 143 MeV and chemical potential 783 MeV. Critical exponents are calculated, with results that are consistent with mean-field scaling relations.

Slow White Dwarf Mergers as a New Galactic Source of Trans-Iron Elements

description: The astrophysical origins of the heaviest stable elements that we observe today in the Solar System are still not fully understood. While thermonuclear supernovae (SNe Ia) are known to have forged about two-thirds of the iron content in the Solar System, recent studies have demonstrated that H-accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in a binary system exploding as SNe Ia could be an efficient p-process source beyond iron. However, both observational evidences and stellar models calculating the progenitor phase indicate that less than 6% of these systems eventually explode as a SNe Ia.
 In this work, we calculated the evolution and nucleosynthesis in slowly merging carbon-oxygen WDs using the stellar code MESA. As our models approach the Chandrasekhar mass during the merger phase, the dominant neutron source is the 22Ne(α,n)25Mg reaction. This is activated in the external layers of the primary WD, where the carbon-rich material accreted from the secondary WD is burned via the 12C+12C reaction, which provides the necessary α-particles via the 12C(12C,α)20Ne channel. The resulting neutron capture abundance distribution closely resembles a weak s-process one and peaks at Zr, which is overproduced by a factor of 30 compared to solar. The mass of the most external layers enriched in first-peak s-process elements crucially depends on the 12C+12C reaction rate, being
 0.06 Msun when our standard 12C+12C reaction rate is adopted, or even 0.1 Msun when the 12C+12C reaction rate is increased by a factor of two. These results indicate that slow white dwarf mergers can efficiently produce the lightest p-process isotopes (such as 74Se, 78Kr, 844Sr, 92Mo and 94Mo) via photo-disintegration reactions if they explode via a delay detonation mechanism, or eject the unburned external layers highly enriched in first peak s-process elements in the case of a pure deflagration. In both cases, we propose for the first time that slow white dwarf mergers in binary systems may be a new relevant astrophysics source for elements heavier than iron.

Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis (NTFA)

description: The inelastic material properties of Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) with particulate reinforcement are investigated. In order to be able to investigate a variety of unit cells a method for the generation and spatial discretization of random model mi-crostructures is presented. The Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis (NTFA) is employed to investigate the properties of the microheterogeneous material with physical non-linearity. The coefficients of the NTFA are determined from full-field simulations using the Finite Element Method (FEM) on the microscopic scale with consideration of the exact geometry. The homogenized material model is implemented into ABAQUS STANDARD. Numerical examples highlight the efficiency of the method.

description: By providing parallelized versions of established algorithm libraries, we ease the exploitation of the multiple cores on modern processors for the programmer. The Multi-Core STL provides basic algorithms for internal memory, while the parallelized STXXL enables multi-core acceleration for algorithms on large data sets stored on disk. Some parallelized geometric algorithms are introduced into CGAL. Further, we design and implement sorting algorithms for huge data in distributed external memory.

description: We have made an attempt to develop the quaternionic formulation of Yang - Mill's field equations and octonion reformulation of quantum chromo dynamics (QCD). Starting with the Lagrangian density, we have discussed the field equations of SU(2) and SU(3) gauge fields for both cases of global and local gauge symmetries. It has been shown that the three quaternion units explain the structure of Yang- Mill's field while the seven octonion units provide the consistent structure of SU(3)_{C} gauge symmetry of quantum chromo dynamics.

description: By detecting high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and estimating frequencies of them during the decaying tail of giant flares from Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) useful constraints for the equation of state (EoS) of superdense matter may be obtained via comparison with theoretical predictions of eigenfrequencies. We used the data collected by the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE/XTE) Proportional Counter Array (PCA) of a giant flare of SGR 1806-20 on 2004 Dec 27 and applied a Bayesian periodicity detection method (Gregory & Loredo, 1992) for the search of oscillations of transient nature. In addition to the already detected frequencies, we found a few new frequencies (f_{QPOs} ~ 16.9, 21.4, 36.4, 59.0, 116.3 Hz) of oscillations predicted by Colaiuda et al. (2009) based on the APR_{14} EoS (Akmal et al., 1998) for SGR 1806-20.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we give sufficient conditions to establish central limit theorems for boundary estimates of Poisson point processes. The considered estimates are obtained by smoothing some bias corrected extreme values of the point process. We show how the smoothing leads Gaussian asymptotic distributions and therefore pointwise confidence intervals. Some new unidimensional and multidimensional examples are provided.
Nomad explorations v 2.1 : genesis, eden and the grail in modernity.
Creators: name: Barnesmoore, Luke R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: ‘Genesis’, ‘The Garden of Eden’ and ‘The Holy Grail’ are stories that have captivated the western mind (and the human mind in the iterations of these archetypal narratives in other cultures) for millennia. Though many view Modernity and Modernism as marking the death of religion and religious dogma, we argue that Modernism simply rearticulates Abrahamic-Hellenic (more generally Paternalist) social dogmas within its own logics and axioms (especially cosmological, ontological, teleological and epistemological axioms that reduce humanity to a discrete, biological, materially rational being and reduce reality to the finite world of motion, passing time and physical space); the rationalizations for social dogmas like the notion that ‘order is to be created through hierarchical domination’ may change, but the class relations therein retain their basic form. We illustrate this argument through conducting a Nomad Exploration (NE) of Foucault’s The Order of Things, which illustrates the rearticulation of Genesis in the axioms and logics of Modernity, Haraway’s Primate Visions, which illustrates the rearticulation of the Garden of Eden, and finally the nexus of primatology, transhumanism, ‘vampire therapy’, etc. (attempts at material immortality via ‘curing death’) that typify the Modernist rearticulation of the quest for the Holy Grail (san grail, sang rail). In the ethos of Nomad Exploration (NE) our teleological imperative in this journey is not to ‘answer questions’ by ‘accumulating and analyzing facts’; rather, our goal is to broaden understandings and deepen questions by providing the reader with dimensionally transformative ideas that provide access to new plateaus of perspective—in short, our purpose lies in the production of intimate, inner experience with dimensionally transformative ideas and a concomitant reinvigoration of meaning rather than in accumulating and analyzing facts.

Quantum Gravity on Neutrino Mass Square difference

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider non-renormalizable interaction term as a perturbation of the neutrino mass matrix. We assume that the neutrino masses and mixing arise through physics at a scale intermediate between Planck scale and the electroweak breaking scale. We also assume that, just above the electroweak breaking scale, neutrino masses are nearly degenerate and their mixing is bi-maximal. Quantum gravity (Planck scale effects) lead to an effective SU(2)_{L}\times U(1) invariant dimension-5 Lagrangian involving neutrino and Higgs fields. On symmetry breaking, this operator gives rise to correction to the above masses and mixing. The gravitational interaction M_{X}=M_{pl}, we find that for degenerate neutrino mass spectrum, the considered perturbation term change the Δ_{21}^{'}and Δ_{31}^{'}mass square difference is unchanged above GUT scale. The nature of gravitational interaction demands that the element of this perturbation matrix should be independent of flavor indices. In this letter, we study the quantum gravity effects on neutrino mass square difference, namely modified dispersion relation for neutrino mass square differences..

description: A crucial property for the evaluation of bioinks, besides biocompatibility, is printability, which is determined by resolution and shape fidelity. Recently, fiber reinforcement was used to overcome rheological limitations and introduce biomimetic structuring. This study provides a systematic approach to evaluate the printability of fiber reinforced hydrogels. Alginate and Pluronic hydrogels were blended with cellulose nanofibers (CeNF) and polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibers. SEM imaging revealed fiber-induced structural changes. Oscillatory rheological experiments showed that the addition of fiber fragments significantly altered the complex viscosity. A customized setup was utilized to determine strut spreading behavior in a real extrusion printing process. Strikingly, the data displayed excellent correlation with viscoelastic model-based predictions. CeNF increased the shape fidelity of both hydrogels, while PCL microfibers increased the viscosity but resulted in a time dependent loss of structural integrity in Pluronic. The results emphasize the need to complement shear-rheological analysis of bioinks by print-related customized analytical tools.

description: We study entropy corrections due to thermal fluctuations for asymptotically AdS black holes in the grand canonical ensemble. To leading order, these can be expressed in terms of the black hole response coefficients via fluctuation moments. We also analyze entropy corrections due to mass and charge fluctuations of R-charged black holes, and our results indicate an universality in the logarithmic corrections to charged AdS black hole entropy in various dimensions.
