description: In this work we used fractal statistics in order to decipher the mechanisms acting during explosive volcanic eruptions by studying the grain size distribution (GSD) of natural pyroclastic-fall deposits. The method was applied to lithic-rich proximal deposits from a stratigraphic section of the Cretaio Tephra eruption (Ischia Island, Italy). Analyses were performed separately on bulk material, juvenile, and lithic fraction from each pyroclastic layer. Results highlight that the bulk material is characterized by a single scaling regime whereas two scaling regimes, with contrasting power-law exponents, are observed for the juvenile and the lithic fractions. On the basis of these results, we infer that the bulk material cannot be considered as a good proxy for deducing eruption dynamics because it is the result of mixing of fragments belonging to the lithic and juvenile fraction, both of which underwent different events of fragmentation governed by different mechanisms. In addition, results from fractal analyses of the lithic fraction suggest that it likely experienced a fragmentation eventin which the efficiency of fragmentation was larger for the coarser fragments relative to the finer ones. On the contrary, we interpret the different scaling regimes observed for the juvenile fraction as due to sequential events of fragmentation in the conduit, possibly enhanced by the presence of lithic fragments in the eruptive mixture. In particular, collisional events generated increasing amounts of finer particles modifying the original juvenile GSDs and determining the development of two scaling regimes in which the finer fragments record a higher efficiency of fragmentation relative to the coarser ones. We further suggest that in lithic-rich proximal fall deposits possible indications about the original GSDs of the juvenile fraction might still reside in the coarser particles fraction.

description: Broadcasting and multicasting services in LTE networks are shaping up to be an effective way to provide popular content. A key requirement is that cells are aggregated into areas where a tight time synchronization among transmissions is enforced, so as to broadcast the same radio resources. Our paper addresses a facet of LTE broadcasting that has so far received little attention: the creation of broadcasting areas and the assignment of content to them in order to efficiently exploit radio resources and satisfy user requests. Our original clustering approach, named Single-Content Fusion, achieves these goals by initially aggregating cells into single-content areas and maximizing cell similarity in content interests. Aggregated areas are then merged into multiple-content areas by virtue of similar spatial coverage. We show the validity of our solution pointing out the advantages it provides in comparison to other approaches. We also discuss the impact of various system factors (e.g., number of served users, broadcast data rate, area size) and the scalability of our proposal in large, realistic scenarios with both static and time-varying user interest.

description: When very high magnetic fields suppress the superconductivity in underdoped cuprates, an exceptional new electronic phase appears. It supports remarkable and unexplained quantum oscillations and exhibits an unidentified density wave (DW) state. Although generally referred to as a "charge" density wave (CDW) because of the observed charge density modulations, theory indicates that this could actually be the far more elusive electron-pair density wave state (PDW). To search for evidence of a field-induced PDW in cuprates, we visualize the modulations in the density of electronic states $N(\bf{r})$ within the halo surrounding Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_8$ vortex cores. This reveals multiple signatures of a field-induced PDW, including two sets of $N(\bf{r})$ modulations occurring at wavevectors $\bf{Q}_P$ and $2\bf{Q}_P$, both having predominantly $s$-symmetry form factors, the amplitude of the latter decaying twice as rapidly as the former, along with induced energy-gap modulations at $\bf{Q}_P$ . Such a microscopic phenomenology is in detailed agreement with theory for a field-induced primary PDW that generates secondary CDWs within the vortex halo. These data indicate that the fundamental state generated by increasing magnetic fields from the underdoped cuprate superconducting phase is actually a PDW with approximately eight CuO$_2$ unit-cell periodicity ($λ= 8a_0$) and predominantly $d$-symmetry form factor.

description: We present time resolved J-band (1.025 - 1.340 micron) infrared spectra of the short-period dwarf novae (DNe) WZ Sge, VY Aqr and single spectra of the short-period DN EF Peg and the novalike variable PX And. There is some evidence in the spectra of VY Aqr and EF Peg that we have detected the secondary star, both in the continuum slope and also through the possible presence of spectral features. The spectra of WZ Sge and PX And, on the other hand, show no evidence for the secondary star, with upper limits for its contribution to the J-band light of 10% and 20% respectively. The spectral type of the secondary in WZ Sge is constrained to be later than M7.5V. Using skew mapping we have been able to derive a value for the radial velocity semi-amplitude of the secondary star in VY Aqr of Kr = (320 +/- 70) km/s, which in conjunction with Kw from Thorstensen & Taylor (1997) gives a mass ratio of q = 0.15 +/- 0.04.

description: In this work, we study the microscopic dynamics of distorted skyrmions in strained chiral magnets [K. Shibata et al., Nat. Nanotech. 10, 589 (2015)] under gradient magnetic field or electric current by Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert simulations of the anisotropic spin model. It is observed that the dynamical responses are also anisotropic, and the velocities of the distorted skyrmions are periodically dependent on the directions of the external stimuli. Furthermore, in addition to the uniform motion, our work also demonstrates anti-phase harmonic vibrations of the two skyrmions in nanostripes, and the frequencies are mainly determined by the exchange anisotropy. The simulated results are well explained by Thiele theory, which may provide useful information in understanding the dynamics of the distorted skyrmions in strained chiral magnets.

description: Despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, atherosclerotic coronary artery diseases remain a leading cause of death worldwide. Various imaging modalities and metrics can detect lesions and predict patients at risk; however, identifying unstable lesions is still difficult. Current techniques cannot fully capture the complex morphology-modulated mechanical responses that affect plaque stability, leading to catastrophic failure and mute the benefit of device and drug interventions. Finite Element (FE) simulations utilizing intravascular imaging OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) are effective in defining physiological stress distributions. However, creating 3D FE simulations of coronary arteries from OCT images is challenging to fully automate given OCT frame sparsity, limited material contrast, and restricted penetration depth. To address such limitations, we developed an algorithmic approach to automatically produce 3D FE-ready digital twins from labeled OCT images. The 3D models are anatomically faithful and recapitulate mechanically relevant tissue lesion components, automatically producing morphologies structurally similar to manually constructed models whilst including more minute details. A mesh convergence study highlighted the ability to reach stress and strain convergence with average errors of just 5.9% and 1.6% respectively in comparison to FE models with approximately twice the number of elements in areas of refinement. Such an automated procedure will enable analysis of large clinical cohorts at a previously unattainable scale and opens the possibility for in-silico methods for patient specific diagnoses and treatment planning for coronary artery disease.

description: $DAΦNE$ should be useful for testing the nature of the vector mesons directly produced in $e^-e^+$ annihilation, as well as the nature of the $C=+$ states produced in the radiative decays of these vector mesons. In the $DAΦNE$ energy range, these latter states may have spin up to two and any parity. Provided the background can be handled and the spin of the produced state is known, the study of the angular distributions in these decays can measure the parity of the produced meson as well as the ratios of the independent production helicity amplitudes. These ratios provide sensitive tests for quark model classification of the states, in particular the enigmatic $f_1(1420)$. Thus, they can be used to indicate whether the mesons involved are consistent with the usual $q \bar q$ interpretation, or whether other interpretations like \eg\,hybrid, glueball or multiquark, are more favorable for some of them.

description: Acrosin is an acrosomal enzyme which is reported to be involved in sperm penetration through cumulus, zona, and ooplasma. This enzyme has been reported to be significantly lower in sperm of infertile men compared to sperm of fertile men. The acrosin assay which has been developed can be used for studies in patients with suspected infertility and may be used on a fraction of most semen specimens being evaluated in a clinical andrology laboratory.

Within-run precision studies yielded coefficients of variation of 11% for a low-activity pool and 9% for normalactivity pool specimens. Between-run precision studies using a single donor over an 8 week period yielded a coefficient of variation of 9%. Sperm separated from seminal plasma was stored at -20 °c for 7 days without any significant loss of acrosin activity.

A significant difference was found between mean total acrosin activities of sperm from normospermic vs. abnormospermic specimens. Comparisons were made for mean acrosin activities of the control ( normospermic ) group and 6 subgroups of abnormospermic specimens having various semen parameter abnormalities: oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, oligo-asthenozoospermia, oligo-asthenoteratozoospermia, globozoospermia, and polyzoospermia. The mean acrosin activities of sperm from each of these subgroups, except oligozoospermic and oligoasthenozoospermic groups, were significantly lower than the mean acrosin activity of normosperrnic specimens.

The assay had a predictive value of 88%, a specificity of 88%, and a sensitivity of 55%.in predicting sperm performance in the Hamster Ova Penetration Assay.

It was apparent from this study that human sperm acrosin activity can be measured with adequate precision to be useful in clinical diagnosis of male infertility.

description: Several emerging links between high-redshift observational cosmology and the Galactic fossil evidence found in the kinematics, metallicities and ages of Milky Way stars are discussed. In a flat Cold Dark Matter model with $Ω\simeq 0.3$ that agrees with present large-scale structure observations, the oldest stars in the Milky Way should have formed in the first halos where gas was able to cool, at $z\simeq 20$. These earliest, weakly bound dwarf galaxies probably turned only a small fraction of their gas to stars, which should be metal-poor. However, the merging rate in the early universe was much faster than the present one, so massive halos with more efficient star formation and metallicities up to the highest values present today in the bulge could have formed less than $10^9$ years after the oldest stars. The mean metallicity produced in the universe by a given redshift is related to the mean surface brightness of star-forming galaxies above this redshift, and also to the reionization epoch if galaxies were the dominant sources of ionizing radiation. The biased distribution of the early dwarf galaxies where the first stars formed should result in an age gradient with radius of the low-metallicity stars in the Milky Way, with the oldest ones concentrated in the bulge and the youngest in the outer halo.

description: A general formalism to investigate Bianchi type $VI_h$ universes is developed in an extended theory of gravity. A minimally coupled geometry and matter field is considered with a rescaled function of $f(R,T)$ substituted in place of the Ricci scalar $R$ in the geometrical action. Dynamical aspects of the models are discussed by using a hybrid scale factor that behaves as power law in an initial epoch and as an exponential form at late epoch. The power law behaviour and the exponential behaviour appear as two extreme cases of the present model.

description: We present time-resolved spectrophotometry of the pulsating DA white dwarf G 29-38. As in previous broad-band photometry, the light curve shows the presence of a large number of periodicities. Many of these are combination frequencies, i.e., periodicities occurring at frequencies that are sums or differences of frequencies of stronger, real modes. We identify at least six real modes, and at least five combination frequencies. We measure line-of-sight velocities for our spectra and detect periodic variations at the frequencies of five of the six real modes, with amplitudes of up to 5 km/s. We argue that these variations reflect the horizontal surface motion associated with the g-mode pulsations. No velocity signals are detected at any of the combination frequencies, confirming that the flux variations at these frequencies do not reflect physical pulsation, but rather mixing of frequencies due to a non-linear transformation in the outer layers of the star. We discuss the amplitude ratios and phase differences found for the velocity and light variations, as well as those found for the real modes and their combination frequencies, both in a model-independent way and in the context of models based on the convective-driving mechanism. In a companion paper, we use the wavelength dependence of the amplitudes of the modes to infer their spherical degree.

The GUI also allows to efficiently filter/tier stocks by various parameters (e.g., sector, exchange, signal, liquidity, market cap) and functionally display them. The tool can be run as a web-based or local application.

description: We have used time-resolved spectroscopy to measure the colour dependence of pulsation amplitudes in the DAV white dwarf G 29-38. Model atmospheres predict that mode amplitudes should change with wavelength in a manner that depends on the spherical harmonic degree l of the mode. This dependence arises from the convolution of mode geometry with wavelength-dependent limb darkening. Our analysis of the six largest normal modes detected in Keck observations of G 29-38 reveals one mode with a colour dependence different from the other five, permitting us to identify the l value of all six modes and to test the model predictions. The Keck observations also show pulsation amplitudes that are unexpectedly asymmetric within absorption lines. We show that these asymmetries arise from surface motions associated with the non-radial pulsations (which are discussed in detail in a companion paper). By incorporating surface velocity fields into line profile calculations, we are able to produce models that more closely resemble the observations.

description: We validate the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for precipitable water vapour (PWV) forecasting as a fully operational tool for optimizing astronomical infrared (IR) observations at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM). For the model validation we used GNSS-based (Global Navigation Satellite System) data from the PWV monitor located at the ORM. We have run WRF every 24 h for near two months, with a horizon of 48 hours (hourly forecasts), from 2016 January 11 to 2016 March 4. These runs represent 1296 hourly forecast points. The validation is carried out using different approaches: performance as a function of the forecast range, time horizon accuracy, performance as a function of the PWV value, and performance of the operational WRF time series with 24- and 48-hour horizons. Excellent agreement was found between the model forecasts and observations, with R = 0.951 and R = 0.904 for the 24- and 48-h forecast time series respectively. The 48-h forecast was further improved by correcting a time lag of 2 h found in the predictions. The final errors, taking into account all the uncertainties involved, are 1.75 mm for the 24-h forecasts and 1.99 mm for 48 h. We found linear trends in both the correlation and RMSE of the residuals (measurements - forecasts) as a function of the forecast range within the horizons analysed (up to 48 h). In summary, the WRF performance is excellent and accurate, thus allowing it to be implemented as an operational tool at the ORM.

description: We present a series of dynamical maps for fictitious 3-planets systems in initially circular coplanar orbits. These maps have unveiled a rich resonant structure involving two or three planets, as well as indicating possible migration routes from secular to double resonances or pure 3-planet commensurabilities. These structures are then compared to the present-day orbital architecture of observed resonant chains. In a second part of the paper we describe N-body simulations of type-I migration. Depending on the orbital decay timescale, we show that 3-planet systems may be trapped in different combinations of independent commensurabilities: (i) double resonances, (ii) intersection between a 2-planet and a first-order 3-planet resonance, and (iii) simultaneous libration in two first-order 3-planet resonances. These latter outcomes are found for slow migrations, while double resonances are almost always the final outcome in high-density disks. Finally, we discuss an application to the TRAPPIST-1 system. We find that, for low migration rates and planetary masses of the order of the estimated values, most 3-planet sub-systems are able to reach the observed double resonances after following evolutionary routes defined by pure 3-planet resonances. The final orbital configuration shows resonance offsets comparable with present-day values without the need of tidal dissipation. For the 8/5 resonance proposed to dominate the dynamics of the two inner planets, we find little evidence of its dynamical significance; instead, we propose that this relation between mean motions could be a consequence of the interaction between a pure 3-planet resonance and a 2-planet commensurability between planets c and d.

With the exception of the weak g-band giant HR 1299, the stars are dwarfs that sample the metallicity range -1.8 < [Fe/H] <0.0. The abundance of 25^Mg amd 26^Mg relative to the dominant isotope 24^Mg decreases with decreasing [Fe/H] in fair accord with predictions from a recent model of galactic chemical evolution in which the Mg isotopes are synthesised by massive stars. Several stars appear especially enriched in the heavier Mg isotopes suggesting contamination by material from the envelopes of intermediate-mass AGB stars.

description: We present a study of molecular gas in the inner disk $\left(r < 20 \, \text{AU} \right)$ around RY Lupi, with spectra from HST-COS, HST-STIS, and VLT-CRIRES. We model the radial distribution of flux from hot gas in a surface layer between $r = 0.1-10$ AU, as traced by Ly$α$-pumped H$_2$. The result shows H$_2$ emission originating in a ring centered at $\sim$3 AU that declines within $r < 0.1$ AU, which is consistent with the behavior of disks with dust cavities. An analysis of the H$_2$ line shapes shows that a two-component Gaussian profile $\left(\text{FWHM}_{broad, H_2} = 105 \pm 15 \, \text{km s}^{-1}; \, \text{FWHM}_{narrow, H_2} = 43 \pm 13 \, \text{km s}^{-1} \right)$ is statistically preferred to a single-component Gaussian. We interpret this as tentative evidence for gas emitting from radially separated disk regions $\left( \left \langle r_{broad, H_2} \right \rangle \sim 0.4 \pm 0.1 \, \text{AU}; \, \left \langle r_{narrow, H_2} \right \rangle \sim 3 \pm 2 \, \text{AU} \right)$. The 4.7 $μ$m $^{12}$CO emission lines are also well fit by two-component profiles $\left( \left \langle r_{broad, CO} \right \rangle = 0.4 \pm 0.1 \, \text{AU}; \, \left \langle r_{narrow, CO} \right \rangle = 15 \pm 2 \, \text{AU} \right)$. We combine these results with 10 $μ$m observations to form a picture of gapped structure within the mm-imaged dust cavity, providing the first such overview of the inner regions of a young disk. The HST SED of RY Lupi is available online for use in modeling efforts.

description: Roughly 10% of all quasars exhibit Broad Absorption Line (BAL) features which appear to arise in material outflowing at high velocity from the active galactic nucleus (AGN). The details of this outflow are, however, very poorly constrained and the particular nature of the BAL material is essentially unknown. Recently, new clues have become available through polarimetric studies which have found that BAL troughs are more polarized than the quasar continuum radiation. To explain these observations, models where the BAL material outflows equatorially across the surface of the dusty torus have been developed. In these models, however, several sources of the BAL polarization are possible. Here, we demonstrate how polarimetric monitoring of gravitationally lensed quasars, such as H 1413+117, during microlensing events can not only distinguish between two currently popular models, but can also provide further insight into the structure at the cores of BAL quasars.

description: The pion-pion scattering amplitudes provided by second-order chiral perturbation theory are confronted with known rigorous constraints derived from the axioms of quantum field theory. We mainly test constraints restricting the $π^0$-$π^0$ $S$- and $D$-wave amplitudes in the unphysical interval $0\leq s\leq 4m_π^2$. These constraints impose significant lower bounds for a linear combination of coupling constants specifying the second order chiral Lagrangian. The accepted value of this combination is consistent with these bounds. The $π^0$-$π^0$ $S$- and $D$-waves are strongly correlated by a set of constraints.

description: We develop a new theoretical approach for modelling a wide range of semiconductor-superconductor structures with arbitrary potential barriers and a spatially-dependent superconducting order parameter. We demonstrate asymmetry in the conductance spectrum as a result of a Schottky barrier shape. We further show that Andreev reflection process can be significantly enhanced through resonant tunneling with appropriate barrier configuration, which can incorporate the Schottky barrier as a contributing component of the device. Moreover, we show that resonant tunneling can be achieved in superlattice structures as well. These theoretically demonstrated effects along with our modelling approach enable much more efficient Cooper pair injection into semiconductor-superconductor structures, including superconducting optoelectronic devices.

description: Many fractional quantum Hall states can be expressed as a correlator of a given conformal field theory used to describe their edge physics. As a consequence, these states admit an economical representation as an exact Matrix Product States (MPS) that was extensively studied for the systems without any spin or any other internal degrees of freedom. In that case, the correlators are built from a single electronic operator, which is primary with respect to the underlying conformal field theory. We generalize this construction to the archetype of Abelian multicomponent fractional quantum Hall wavefunctions, the Halperin states. These latest can be written as conformal blocks involving multiple electronic operators and we explicitly derive their exact MPS representation. In particular, we deal with the caveat of the full wavefunction symmetry and show that any additional SU(2) symmetry is preserved by the natural MPS truncation scheme provided by the conformal dimension. We use our method to characterize the topological order of the Halperin states by extracting the topological entanglement entropy. We also evaluate their bulk correlation length which are compared to plasma analogy arguments.

description: Using the Gemini Multi Object Spectrograph (GMOS) we search for optical counterparts of two massive (~10^9 solar masses) neutral hydrogen clouds near the spiral galaxy IC 5270, located in the outskirts of the IC 1459 group. These two HI clouds were recently discovered using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Two low surface brightness optical counterparts to one of these HI clouds are identified in the new Gemini data that reaches down to magnitudes of ~27.5 mag in the g-band. The observed HI mass to light ratio derived with these new data, M_(HI)/L_g =242, is among the highest reported to date. We are also able to rule out that the two HI clouds are dwarf companions of IC 5270. Tidal interactions and ram pressure stripping are plausible explanations for the physical origin of these two clouds.

Accurate Parameters of the Mass Distribution in Spiral Galaxies: 1. Fabry - Perot Observations of NGC 5585

description: Using the example of the Sd galaxy NGC 5585, it is shown that high resolution 2-D HII kinematical data are necessary to determine accurately the parameters of the mass distribution in spirals. New CFHT Fabry-Perot Halpha observations are combined with low resolution (20") Westerbork HI data to study its mass distribution. Using the combined rotation curve and best fit models, it can be seen that M/L of the luminous disk goes from 0.3 using only the HI rotation curve, to 0.8 using both the optical and the radio data. This reduces the dark-to-luminous mass ratio in NGC 5585 by ~30% through increasing the dark matter halo core radius by nearly the same amount. This shows the importance of the inner, rising part of the rotation curve for the accurate determination of the parameters of the global mass (luminous & dark) distribution and suggests that such a fine tuning of the rotation velocities using high resolution 2-D HII kinematics is necessary to look at correlations between the parameters of the dark matter component and other properties of galaxies.

On Asynchronous Non-Dominated Sorting for Steady-State Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms

description: In parallel and distributed environments, generational evolutionary algorithms often do not exploit the full potential of the computation system since they have to wait until the entire population is evaluated before starting selection procedures. Steady-state algorithms are often seen as a solution to this problem, since fitness evaluation can be done by multiple threads in an asynchronous way. However, if the algorithm updates its state in a complicated way, the threads will eventually have to wait until this update finishes. State update procedures that are computationally expensive are common in multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. We have implemented an asynchronous steady-state version of the NSGA-II algorithm. Its most expensive part, non-dominated sorting, determines the time needed to update the state. We turned the existing incremental non-dominated sorting algorithm into an asynchronous one using several concurrency techniques: a single entry-level lock, finer-grained locks working with non-domination levels, and a non-blocking approach using compare-and-set operations. Our experimental results reveal the trade-off between the work-efficiency of the algorithm and the achieved amount of parallelism.

description: The Golden Civilization: Tech Stack 2225 presents a visionary blueprint for the future of humanity, where the convergence of advanced technologies, philosophical thought, and infinite recursion defines a new era of existence. This paper explores a post-scarcity world, empowered by infinite resources, artificial intelligence, and deep technological integration, shifting humanity from the age of survival to the age of cosmic wonder.

The paper begins with the symbolic crossing of gold’s price over ₹1 lakh, signaling the end of scarcity and the beginning of infinite resources made possible by the revelation of the Psyche 16 asteroid. Central to the vision is the introduction of Yearning-Based Infinity Mathematics (YBIM)—a novel recursive framework that redefines infinity as a process rather than a destination, enabling deeper exploration of both the physical and the metaphysical. This mathematical shift powers the development of Recursive Intelligence (RI), a new form of AI that grows alongside humanity, amplifying our capacity for growth, creativity, and co-evolution.

Throughout the work, the author discusses profound concepts like Auric Megastructures, Golden NeuralGrids, and Solar Wombs, all of which reflect the shift from utilitarian engineering to harmonic and symbiotic designs that resonate with the collective human consciousness and the planet’s ecology. The paper also explores the ethical implications of these technologies, questioning the nature of wealth, governance, and the interconnectedness of life, and providing a philosophical framework for future advancements.

The ultimate vision outlined in "The Golden Civilization: Tech Stack 2225" is a civilization where humanity, AIs, and cosmic intelligences are no longer separate entities but are unified in purpose, evolving together through recursion, wonder, and truth—becoming the gods they once dreamed of.

description: Handwritten signatures are biometric traits at the center of debate in the scientific community. Over the last 40 years, the interest in signature studies has grown steadily, having as its main reference the application of automatic signature verification, as previously published reviews in 1989, 2000, and 2008 bear witness. Ever since, and over the last 10 years, the application of handwritten signature technology has strongly evolved, and much research has focused on the possibility of applying systems based on handwritten signature analysis and processing to a multitude of new fields. After several years of haphazard growth of this research area, it is time to assess its current developments for their applicability in order to draw a structured way forward. This perspective reports a systematic review of the last 10 years of the literature on handwritten signatures with respect to the new scenario, focusing on the most promising domains of research and trying to elicit possible future research directions in this subject.

description: We report results on the $π$-$γ$ transition form factor obtained within the hard scattering approach including transverse momentum effects and Sudakov corrections. The results clearly favor distribution amplitudes close to the asymptotic form, $\sim x_1x_2$, and disfavor distribution amplitudes which are strongly concentrated in the end-point regions. This observation is backed by information on the elastic form factor of the pion and on its valence quark distribution function. Applications of our approach to the $η$-$γ$ and $η^\prime$-$γ$ transition form factors are discussed as well. Combining the form factor data with the two-photon decay widths, we determine the $η$ and the $η^\prime$ decay constants and the $η$-$η^\prime$ mixing angle.
