description: The mediators of neutrino mass generation can provide a probe of neutrino properties at the next round of high-energy hadron (FCC-hh) and lepton colliders (FCC-ee/ILC/CEPC/CLIC). We show how the decays of the Higgs triplet scalars mediating the simplest seesaw mechanism can shed light on the neutrino mass scale and mass-ordering, as well as the atmospheric octant. Four-lepton signatures at the high-energy frontier may provide the discovery-site for charged lepton flavour non-conservation in nature, rather than low-energy intensity frontier experiments.

Year: 2024

description: This report belongs to a series of deliverables documenting the research work carried out under the four subtasks of WP3. We started by analysing biodiversity policy at the EU level and exploring E&FIs for biodiversity in a broad sense. In Task 3.1, we reviewed the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 to understand the implications of EU biodiversity policy for spatial planning and analysed 24 generic biodiversity-promoting E&FIs identified by the Ecosystem Opportunity Framework (Rode et al., 2016) with criteria of their relevance to spatial planning along the Mitigation Hierarchy (for more information, see: BioValue Report D3.1: Economic and Financial Instruments to Enhance Biodiversity). Subsequently, we explored current E&FI practice in spatial planning and environmental assessment and investigated the potential impacts on biodiversity of using E&FIs in the context of transformative change ambitions. In Task 3.2, we assessed the current application of E&FIs in spatial planning and analysed the position of E&FIs for enhancing biodiversity in practice with selected spatial planning instruments; we reviewed the E&FI recommendations in the benchmark of environmental assessments, and discussed how the generic E&FIs for enhancing biodiversity can be positioned with examples of impact pathways towards transformative change (for more information, see: BioValue Report D3.2: Impacts of Economic and Financial Instruments on Biodiversity in Spatial Planning). Here, in Task 3.3, we focus on the sustainable finance strategy at the EU level and analyse its implications, in particular for the different actors involved in the spatial planning process.

description: PCA3 is one of the most prostate cancer-specific genes described to date. Of note, PCA3 expression is detectable at high level in the urine of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Accordingly, PCA3 is an ideal biomarker for PCa diagnosis. Several techniques for the measurement of this biomarker in urine have been developed but there are still some drawbacks. In this study, magnetic nanoparticle-based PCR coupled with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase and a substrate for colorimetric detection was established as a potential assay for urinary PCA3 detection. The method provided a high specificity for PCA3 gene in LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. Additionally, this technique could detect PCA3 at femtogram level which was approximately 1,000-fold more sensitive than the conventional RT-PCR followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The effectiveness of the method was assessed by PCA3 detection in clinical specimens. The relative PCA3 expression of PCa patients determined by this assay was significantly greater than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients and healthy controls. The results of our test were comparable with the results of qRT-PCR. The proposed method is promising to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous groups. Altogether, this simple assay is practicable and useful for prostate cancer diagnosis.

Embedding open data practice: Developing indicators on the institutionalisation of open data practice in two African governments

Subjects: subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: The research formed part of the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries Phase 2 project, and was titled “Embedding open data practice: Developing indicators on the institutionalisation of open data practice in two African governments”. The motivation for conducting the research was that insufficient attention has been paid to the constellation of institutional dynamics within governments and how these may be impeding the embedding of open data practice. In order to address the principle question of whether open data practice is being embedded, the project undertook a comparison of government open data in South Africa and Kenya. In developing open data indicators to measure embeddedness, the research team chose to focus on open licensing because they considered it to be a key indicator of openness: the act of assigning an open licence not only indicates an understanding of what constitutes open data (that is, authentically open or ‘libre’ data provision), but it also indicates that organisational actors have cognitively come to terms with and accepted the consequences of data being reused without restriction. The research did not restrict its investigation to high-level commitments or policies but examined aspects of licensing at multiple levels of government. This approach echoes Tim Berners-Lee’s assertion that change ‘has to start at the top, it has to start in the middle and it has to start at the bottom’. Project findings suggest that there is a complex interplay (and, at times, conflict) between the various organisational levels of government. There are clearly still some tensions to resolve in terms of reconciling the values and practices of organisational levels that make up governments.

description: Airbus markets corporate jets derived from all of the aircraft in its modern family, giving customers a comprehensive spread of sizes and ranges to suit their needs. Corporate jet customers are essentially big companies, billionaires and governments. They are most interested in two things - the ability to fly the mission and the cabin  - unlike in the airliner world, where it is all about economics. So what customers get in the cabin - in terms of cross-section and floorspace - is of great interest, because it directly affects the lifestyle that they can take into the sky. Available cabin space and furnishing have evolved over time, with today's corporate jets delivering a much larger and more sophisticated environment than early jetliners. Airbus' ACJ320 Family has the widest and tallest cabin of any business jet, while being similar in size externally. So it is well placed to deliver more of the comfort, space and freedom of movement that customers want, including offices and lounges, conference and dining areas, bedrooms and bathrooms. For customers that want even more comfort, capacity and capability, Airbus offers VIP versions of its widebodies, which have the added benefit of delivering "nonstop to the world" range.

Spin stiffness, spectral weight, and Landau damping of magnons in metallic spiral magnets

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We analyze the properties of magnons in metallic electron systems with spiral magnetic order. Our analysis is based on the random phase approximation for the susceptibilities of tight binding electrons with a local Hubbard interaction in two or three dimensions. We identify three magnon branches from poles in the susceptibilities, one associated with in-plane, the other two associated with out-of-plane fluctuations of the spiral order parameter. We derive general expressions for the spin stiffnesses and the spectral weights of the magnon modes, from which also the magnon velocities can be obtained. Moreover, we determine the size of the decay rates of the magnons due to Landau damping. While the decay rate of the in-plane mode is of the order of its excitation energy, the decay rate of the out-of-plane mode is smaller so that these modes are asymptotically stable excitations even in the presence of Landau damping.

Individual and cultural gender roles: A comparison of Anglo-Australians and Chinese in Australia
Creators: name: Leung, Cynthia

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Using a combined student and community sample, the present study examined whether there were cultural differences in gender role stereotypes between Anglo-Australians and Chinese background immigrants and sojourners in Australia. In addition, cultural differences in the sex-based differentiation of gender roles were examined, along with an assessment of the possible mediating role of acculturation. Five-hundred and ninety participants (418 Anglo-Australians, 172 of Chinese background) from academic institutions and community groups in Melbourne, Australia were administered the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), an individual-level measure of gender roles. Factor analyses of the Bem items showed similar factor structures for the two cultural groups, despite differences on their country-level indices of masculinity (Hofstede, 1998). Further, Hofstede's proposal that sex differences in gender roles would be more pronounced in 'masculine' societies was not supported, however both genders identified more strongly with masculine values/traits if they were Anglo-Australian in background, and with feminine values/traits if they were of Chinese origin. The possible role of acculturation in mediating these identifications was not established.

description: We investigate the sensitivity of an ion sensor in determining the temperature of an atomic Fermi gas. Our study extends to charged impurities the proposal by M. T. Mitchison et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 080402 (2020), where atomic neutral impurities were used as an in situ thermometer of the quantum gas. We find that the long-range character of the atom-ion interaction enhances the thermometer's sensitivity for certain system parameters. In addition, we investigate the impact of the ion quantum motional state on the sensitivity by assuming that it is confined in a harmonic trap. We observe that the temperature sensitivity of the ion is noticeably influenced by its spatial extension, making the latter a versatile tool to be manipulated for improving the thermometer performance. We finally discuss our findings in the context of current experimental atom-ion mixtures.

description: We study the color-allowed $Λ_b\rightarrow Λ_c π, Λ_cK$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach (PQCD) to lowest order in strong coupling constant $α_s$. Both the factorizable and nonfactorizable contributions are taken into account in our calculations. It is found that these processes are dominated by the factorizable contributions, while the important nonfactorizable contributions can enhance the branching ratios by about 30$\%$. The decay branching ratios are predicted to be $\mathcal{B}(Λ_b\rightarrow Λ_c π)=6.7^{+4.1}_{-3.8}\times 10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}(Λ_b\rightarrow Λ_c K)=5.0^{+4.0}_{-3.0}\times 10^{-4}$, where the uncertainties arise from the baryon light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs), the heavy charm quark and charmed baryon masses, and the hard scales. It is shown that the asymmetry parameters in the two decays are approximately equal to -1, which is expected as in the heavy quark limit and the soft meson limit. Our predictions are consistent with the recent experimental data within errors. The obtained numerical results are also compared to those in the other theoretical approaches when they are available.

description: We perform extended numerical studies to maximize the overall photon coupling efficiency of fiber-coupled quantum dot single-photon sources emitting in the near-infrared and telecom regime. Using the finite element method, we optimize the photon extraction and fiber-coupling efficiency of quantum dot single-photon sources based on micromesas, microlenses, circular Bragg grating cavities and micropillars. The numerical simulations which consider the entire system consisting of the quantum dot source itself, the coupling lens, and the single-mode fiber yield overall photon coupling efficiencies of up to 83%. Our work provides objectified comparability of different fiber-coupled single-photon sources and proposes optimized geometries for the realization of practical and highly efficient quantum dot single-photon sources.
title: Towards leading effective secondary schools in Abu Dhabi, UAE: stakeholders’ perceptions

description: The modern and post-modern world has tried to attend to the factors that lead to effective schooling. The School Effectiveness (SE) movement investigates the characteristics of effective schools and how these characteristics may lead to improved pupil achievement. This study explores the characteristics of effective secondary schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) context, together with the effectiveness of their leaders from the perspective of these schools’ stakeholders, namely principals, teachers, students and parents. In particular, the main aims of the study are first to identify the key factors that contribute to effective schools in UAE secondary education and second to outline the strategies for improving schools and school leadership professional development requirements. The study employs a mixed-methods, sequential, exploratory strategy to understand the perceptions of UAE key education stakeholders. Firstly, 46 principals, 138 teachers, 136 parents and 142 pupils filled in questionnaires and then, for added validity and reliability, ten school principals were also interviewed in the second part of the study. What is striking about the study’s findings is that the two instruments – the survey and the interview – did not, in most cases, lead to the same homogeneous results, as the results deduced from the questionnaire did not totally corroborate those realised from the interviews. Key education stakeholders in the UAE proposed three strategies – vision, teamwork and school climate – in order to improve SE in Abu Dhabi. Induction leadership programmes, internal self-evaluation and external evaluation are not considered by the majority of principals and their subordinates to be salient and efficient strategies for improving schools. This is due, presumably, to the lack of logistical procedures and evaluation organisms in place through which schools can internally gauge their degree of effectiveness against lucid standards, indicators and benchmarks.
Analytic Solutions for Wheeled Mobile Manipulator Supporting Forces

description: When a mobile manipulator's wheel loses contact with the ground, tipping-over may occur, causing material damage, and in the worst case, it can put human lives in danger. The tip-over stability of wheeled mobile manipulators must not be overlooked at any stage of a mobile manipulator's life, starting from the design phase, continuing through the commissioning period and extending to the operational phase. Many tip-over stability criteria formulated throughout the years do not explicitly consider the normal wheel loads, with most of them relying on prescribed stability margins in terms of overturning moments. In these formulations, it is commonly argued that overturning will occur about one of the axes connecting adjacent manipulator's contact points with the ground. This claim may not always be valid and is certainly restrictive. Explicit expressions for the manipulator supporting forces provide the best insight into relevant affecting terms which contribute to the tip-over (in)stability. They also remove the necessity for thinking about which axis the manipulator could tip over and simultaneously enable the formulation of more intuitive stability margins and on-line tip-over prevention techniques. The present study presents a general dynamics modelling approach in the Newton--Euler framework using 6D vectors and gives normal wheel load equations in a typical 4-wheeled mobile manipulator negotiating a slope. The given expressions are expected to become standard in wheeled mobile manipulators and to provide a basis for effective tip-over stability criteria and tip-over avoidance techniques. Based on the presented results, specific improvements of the state-of-the-art criteria are discussed.

description: We study the orientational and translational dynamics of spherical microswimmers trapped at fluid interfaces, in terms of the force dipole and source dipole components of their flow field. Using numerical simulations and analytical calculations, we show that the force dipole exerts a torque, orienting pushers parallel to the interface, and pullers in normal direction. The source dipole results in particle rotation only for a finite viscosity contrast between the two fluids, in agreement with previous studies. The superposition of these two contributions leads to an rotational dynamics with a steady-state orientation that depends on the relative magnitudes of the force and source dipoles. In the general case, swimmers with weak force dipoles and strong pullers are observed to align perpendicular to the interface and become stationary, while strong pushers have a finite inclination angle towards the lower viscosity fluid and swim along the interface.

The catastrophes of Air France 447 or Asiana 214 are just two major examples of such human performance deficiencies. How can it be achieved that pilots are brought to the same level as their technically almost accident-resistant aircraft? And on the contrary, how can only humans as pilots find a way out of seemingly inevitable disasters like US 1549, the famous ditching in the Hudson River, or QF 32, the near-death of over 500 people on board an Airbus A380 which could be averted by a highly qualified crew?

description: Technology-assisted review (TAR) is an important industrial application of information retrieval (IR) and machine learning (ML). While a small TAR research community exists, the complexity of TAR software and workflows is a major barrier to entry. Drawing on past open source TAR efforts, as well as design patterns from the IR and ML open source software, we present an open source Python framework for conducting experiments on TAR algorithms. Key characteristics of this framework are declarative representations of workflows and experiment plans, the ability for components to play variable numbers of workflow roles, and state maintenance and restart capabilities. Users can draw on reference implementations of standard TAR algorithms while incorporating novel components to explore their research interests. The framework is available at https://github.com/eugene-yang/tarexp.

description: In this short note the QED extension of the nucleon spin sum rule is considered. To this end, the leading-order (LO) QED evolution kernels for the quark/gluon helicity and orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) distributions are calculated, as well as their lepton and photon analogue distributions introduced for the first time. The LO evolution kernels of the latter are also calculated, both in QCD and QED. Putting all together, the nucleon spin sum rule remains scale-invariant in QCD$\times$QED, as expected, which represents a check of the newly obtained results. This theoretical development will allow in the future the quantification of the contributions of lepton and photon distributions to the nucleon spin, and a more precise control over the uncertainties.

description: We investigate a delay differential equation that models a pendulum stabilized in the upright position by a delayed linear horizontal control force. Linear stability analysis reveals that the region of stability of the origin (the upright position of the pendulum) is bounded for positive delay. We find that a codimension-three triple-zero eigenvalue bifurcation acts as an organizing center of the dynamics. It is studied by computing and then analysing a reduced three-dimensional vector field on the center manifold. The validity of this analysis is checked in the full delay model with the continuation software DDE-BIFTOOL. Among other things, we find stable small-amplitude solutions outside the region of linear stability of the pendulum, which can be interpreted as a relaxed form of successful control.

description: There exist so many web services that share same or similar functional properties; so it is often a challenging effort to select a credible and optimal web service based on their various history QoS records. In view of this challenge, in this paper, a novel QoS-aware web service selection method is put forward, based on credibility evaluation associated with negotiated QoS dimensions. More specifically, the historical empirical data, i.e., execution logs of a service, are used for evaluation purpose. At last, a case study is employed for illustration purpose, and the evaluations are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of our method.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Unified Theory of Information Quantum Mechanics and Reality The Theory: Information can travel faster than the speed of light. Black holes swallow light, but cannot swallow a information. For the sake of argument lets call information Qieonz. Qieonz is a “particle” or “vessel” that moves faster than light, increasing velocity up to infinite speeds until their destination is reached. They are similar, but a Qieonz Matter and energy can be fully depleted to allow them to travel at infinite Velocity. Due to having little to no mass, and exhausting energy, they defy gravitational forces. This allows them to pass through black holes, into other dimensions and universes. The above is Albert Einstein’s Equation E=MC^2 that has a Lorentz model taking into account Super Symmetry. E11 represents super symmetry with specific regard to the multi dimensional universe. This should account to the “imaginary Matter” (dark matter/energy) that we cannot detect.

description: The traditional view of neural computation in the cerebral cortex holds that sensory neurons are specialized, i.e., selective for certain dimensions of sensory stimuli. This view was challenged by evidence of contextual interactions between stimulus dimensions in which a neuron's response to one dimension strongly depends on other dimensions. Here we use methods of mathematical modeling, psychophysics, and electrophysiology to address shortcomings of the traditional view. Using a model of a generic cortical circuit, we begin with the simple demonstration that cortical responses are always distributed among neurons, forming characteristic waveforms, which we call neural waves. When stimulated by patterned stimuli, circuit responses arise by interference of neural waves. Resulting patterns of interference depend on interaction between stimulus dimensions. Comparison of these modeled responses with responses of biological vision makes it clear that the framework of neural wave interference provides a useful alternative to the standard concept of neural computation.

description: Pairing rotations are the low-energy excitations of finite superfluid systems, connecting systems that differ in their number of Cooper pairs. This paper presents a model-independent derivation of pairing rotations within an effective theory that exploits the emergent breaking of U(1) phase symmetries. The symmetries are realized nonlinearly and the Nambu-Goldstone modes depend only on time because the system is finite. Semi-magic nuclei exhibit pairing rotational bands while the pairing spectrum becomes an elliptical paraboloid for open-shell nuclei. Model-independent relations between double charge-exchange reactions and alpha particle capture or knockout in open-shell nuclei are in analogy to the pair transfer reactions in a single superfluid. Odd semi-magic nuclei are described by coupling a fermion to the superfluid. The leading-order theories reproduce data for pairing rotational bands within uncertainty estimates.

description: Quantifying the population of nanoscale defects that are formed in metals and alloys exposed to extreme radiation environments remains a pressing challenge in materials science. These defects both fundamentally alter material properties and seed long-timescale performance degradation, which often limits the lifespan of engineering systems. Unlike ceramic and semiconducting materials, these defects in metals and alloys are not spectroscopically active, forcing characterization to rely on indirect measurements from which the distribution of nanoscale defects may be inferred. In this mini-review, different experimental methodologies which have been employed for defect inference are highlighted to capture the current state of the art. Future directions in this area are proposed, which, by combining data streams from multiple and complementary characterization methods in concert with multi-scale modeling and simulation, will enable the ultimate goal of quantifying the full spectrum of defects in irradiated metals and alloys.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We present a simple but general argument that strongly limits the abundance of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) (or other unknown population of compact objects) with masses similar to those determined by LIGO/Virgo from BH binary mergers. We show that quasar microlensing can be very sensitive to the mass of the lenses, and that it is able to distinguish between stars and BHs of high mass, when the finite size of the source is taken into account. A significant presence of massive BHs would produce frequent high flux magnifications (except for unrealistically large sources) which have been very rarely observed. On the contrary, a typical stellar population would induce flux magnifications consistent with the observations. This result excludes PBHs (or any type of compact object) in the mass range determined by LIGO/Virgo as the main dark matter constituents in the lens galaxies.

description: The increasing availability of wireless access points (APs) is leading towards human sensing applications based on Wi-Fi signals as support or alternative tools to the widespread visual sensors, where the signals enable to address well-known vision-related problems such as illumination changes or occlusions. Indeed, using image synthesis techniques to translate radio frequencies to the visible spectrum can become essential to obtain otherwise unavailable visual data. This domain-to-domain translation is feasible because both objects and people affect electromagnetic waves, causing radio and optical frequencies variations. In literature, models capable of inferring radio-to-visual features mappings have gained momentum in the last few years since frequency changes can be observed in the radio domain through the channel state information (CSI) of Wi-Fi APs, enabling signal-based feature extraction, e.g., amplitude. On this account, this paper presents a novel two-branch generative neural network that effectively maps radio data into visual features, following a teacher-student design that exploits a cross-modality supervision strategy. The latter conditions signal-based features in the visual domain to completely replace visual data. Once trained, the proposed method synthesizes human silhouette and skeleton videos using exclusively Wi-Fi signals. The approach is evaluated on publicly available data, where it obtains remarkable results for both silhouette and skeleton videos generation, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed cross-modality supervision strategy.

description: Service selection has become a key step for cross-organizational collaboration in service-oriented practices and gained ever-increasing attention in both academic and industrial domains. However, the organizations involved may hold different types of evaluation scores, e.g., crisp number, value range and fuzzy linguistic terms. Besides, for the scores of fuzzy linguistic terms, different organizations may hold various evaluation granularities to meet their personalized preferences, which further increase the difficulties for unified service evaluation. So it is a great challenge to take these aspects into consideration for cross-organizational service selection. In view of this challenge, a comprehensive evaluation method named CRML (Crisp number-value Range-Multiple granularities Linguistic terms, CRML) is put forward in this paper. First, the scores of various evaluation types are unified into a form of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Second, a classic TOPSIS method is employed to rank all the candidate services for cross-organizational service selection. Finally, a case study is brought forth to validate the feasibility of our proposal.
Revisiting the quasi-molecular mechanism of recombination

description: The quasi-molecular mechanism of recombination, recently suggested by Kereselidze et al., is a non-standard process where an electron and two neighboring protons in the early universe directly form an ionized hydrogen molecule in a highly excited state, which then descends to lower levels or dissociates. It has been suggested that the increased binding energy due to the participation of a second proton may lead to an earlier cosmic recombination that alleviates the Hubble tension. Revisiting the quasi-molecular channel of recombination in more details, we find that the original work significantly overestimated the probability of finding a pair of adjacent protons in the relevant epoch ($z\sim $ a few thousand). Our new estimation suggests that the quasi-molecular mechanism of recombination cannot be the primary cause of the Hubble tension.
