Efficient and Memory Saving Method Based on Pseudoskeleton Approximation for Analysis of Finite Periodic Structures

An efficient and memory saving method based on pseudoskeleton approximation (PSA) is presented for the effective and accurate analysis of finite periodic structures. Different from the macro basis function analysis model, our proposed metho...

Techno-economic feasibility analyses of grid- connected solar photovoltaic power plants for small scale industries of Punjab, Pakistan

The globally soaring energy prices and electricity shortfall are major hurdles in the economic development of Pakistan. To cope with periodic power outages, small and medium enterprise (SME) business owners have to fall back on alternate po...

Los moluscos terrestres (Mollusca: Gastropoda) de Costa Rica: clasificación, distribución y conservación

Los moluscos terrestres son un grupo muy poco estudiado a nivel mundial. Hay 183 especies reportadas para Costa Rica, 30% son endémicas y 7% posiblemente están extintas. Se espera que en el país haya alrededor de 400 especies, de más del 95...

Developing the level of adoption survey to inform collaborative discussion regarding educational innovation

Learning organizations rely on collaborative information and understanding to support and sustain professional growth and development. A collaborative self-assessment instrument can provide clear articulation and characterization of the lev...

Nonverbal competence in researching the communicative and organizational skills of teachers /Competența nonverbală în cercetarea aptitudinilor comunicative şi organizatorice a cadrelor didactice

Arising from the complexity and multidisciplinarity of the problem of nonverbal communication and impression management in the organizational environment, its investigation constitutes a common subject for several sciences, being located at...

Correlations between Labor Employment and Economic Growth

The main objectives of macroeconomic policy for most governments are: a high level of labouremployment, price stability and high rate of economic growth. As far as I walk in life, I learnsomething new, everywhere I go, I find something that...

Adoption and Willingness to Pay for Emerging Dementia Therapies: Evidence from a Nationally Representative Survey

Objectives: Decisions about emerging disease-modifying dementia therapies involve both treatment uptake and willingness to pay (WTP), reflecting the monetary valuation of treatment benefits. Existing studies often do not distinguish between...

Inflation impact of food prices: Case of Serbia

Food prices traditionally have an impact on inflation around the world. Movements in these prices are coming more from the supply side, then from the demand side. If treated as a supply shock, monetary policy should not react. However, food...

Evaluating the social return on investment of dance movement for wellbeing in the prevention of burnout among healthcare staff: a study protocol

Introduction Improvement in the National Health Service (NHS) employees’ mental well-being and staff retention are current key issues. Evidence indicates that dance movement therapy (DMT) has been effective in improving mental health and we...

Gold Price Forecasting using Time Series Modeling on a Web Platform

Gold is one of the most favored investment instruments due to its stability and its ability to preserve value against inflation. However, its price movements are volatile and influenced by various global economic factors, currency exchange ...

Quenching factors for Na recoils as a function of Tl dopant concentrations in NaI(Tl) crystals

Abstract Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) scintillation detectors play an important role in the field of direct dark matter (DM) searches. The DAMA/LIBRA experiment stands out for its reported observation of an annually modulating DM-...

Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at 3 < z < 5

At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectroscopic evidence of the effects of environment on the format...

Radiative Processes in Astrophysics

George B Rybicki and Alan P Lightman 1980 Chichester: John Wiley xv + 382 pp price £19 The interaction of radiation with matter is a subject of fundamental importance in astrophysics. It is far from being an easy one to teach, not the least...

Successive Partial Disruptions with Orbital Precession in a White Dwarf–Black Hole System for Repeating GRB 250702B

The peculiar gamma-ray burst GRB 250702B is the longest event ever observed, lasting about 1 day and exhibiting four prompt-emission flares of ∼100 s with irregular recurrence intervals of at least 1 hr. To explain this hierarchy of timesca...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics

V L Ginzberg (translated by D ter Haar) 1979 Oxford: Pergamon x + 457 pp price £25 (£10 paperback) The author views his work as a supplementary text devoted to particular aspects of theoretical physics applied to astrophysics, rather than a...

Design of Low-Density Parity-Check Code Pair for Joint Source-Channel Coding Systems Based on Graph Theory

In this article, a graph-theoretic method (taking advantage of constraints among sets associated with the corresponding parity-check matrices) is applied for the construction of a double low-density parity-check (D-LDPC) code (also known as...

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Frontiers of Astrophysics

Eugene H Avrett (ed) London and Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press 1976 pp vi + 554 price £15 This is very much the Harvard view of the universe – not just the editor but most of the contributors are associated with Harvard Universit...
