Comparison between GEANT4 and MCNP for well logging applications

MCNP and GEANT4 are two reference Monte Carlo nuclear simulators, MCNP being the standard in the Oil & Gas nuclear logging industry. While performing a simulation benchmark of these two software for the purpose of “Cased Hole” wellbore eval...

Dynamics and resilience of the unconventional charge density wave in ScV6Sn6 bilayer kagome metal

Abstract Long-range electronic ordering descending from a metallic parent state constitutes a rich playground to study the interplay of structural and electronic degrees of freedom. In this framework, kagome metals are in the most interesti...

Covariant four dimensional differential calculus in κ-Minkowski

It is generally believed that it is not possible to have a four dimensional differential calculus in κ-Minkowski spacetime, with κ-Poincaré relativistic symmetries, covariant under (κ-deformed) Lorentz transformations. Thus, one usually int...

Visionary figures in the field of electrochemistry who revolutionized voltammetry

Understanding energetics and electron behavior has been pivotal in elucidating numerous fundamental phenomena, including electricity, corrosion, respiration, energy generation in biological systems, intermolecular interactions within living...

RFID Applications and Security Review

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is widely used in several contexts, such as logistics, supply chains, asset tracking, and health, among others, therefore drawing the attention of many researchers. This paper presents a review of the m...

Designed-seamless irradiation technique for extended whole mediastinal proton-beam irradiation for esophageal cancer

Abstract Background Proton-beam therapy (PBT) provides therapeutic advantages over conformal x-ray therapy in sparing organs at risk when treating esophageal cancer because of the fundamental physical dose distribution of the proton-beam. H...

Children’s memory “in the wild”: examining the temporal organization of free recall from a week-long camp at a local zoo

Abstract Free-recall paradigms have greatly influenced our understanding of memory. The majority of this research involves laboratory-based events (e.g., word lists) that are studied and tested within minutes. This literature shows that adu...

Low-grade chronic inflammation and transcriptomics: how molecular pharmacognosy can help find new natural treatment alternatives—a narrative review

Abstract Background The inflammatory response is fundamental to the maintenance of an organism’s physiological homeostasis. Inflammation is controlled by a series of biological events driven by specific inflammatory molecules. When inflamma...

Study on the stability of particle packing structure based on cells

The macroscopic mechanical property and the stability of granular mechanics system are determined by packing structure. Cells play a fundamental role in granular statistical mechanics and thus cells were utilized in this paper to research t...

All-inorganic lattice-contracted fabric image sensors for extreme-temperature radiography

Abstract Conventional X‑ray sensing fails in extreme temperatures due to a fundamental trilemma: no material offers strong absorption, flexibility, and thermal stability simultaneously. Rigid inorganic scintillators exhibit thermal quenchin...

The Future of Work: Digitalisation of Sub-Saharan Africa Labour Markets

Digital transformation is reshaping global operations by integrating technology into business, fundamentally changing how value is delivered. In Sub-Saharan Africa, this shift is altering work processes and job content, impacting the demand...

Wide Field of View Microwave Interferometric Radiometer Imaging

In microwave interferometric radiometers with a large field of view, as for example the Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) onboard the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite, one of the major causes of r...

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico de mulheres com HPV atendidas em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde. Método: A pesquisa de caráter quantitativo foi realizada em um bairro no município de Santa Cruz/RN, por meio das fichas individuais d...

Remaining Useful Life Prediction for Nonlinear Degraded Equipment With Bivariate Time Scales

As the fundamental and prerequisite work of remaining useful life (RUL) prediction, degradation modeling directly affects the accuracy of RUL prediction. Existing degradation models are all developed under a single time scale, and less rese...

Investigation of single bubble behavior under rolling motions using multiphase MPS method on GPU

Study of single bubble behavior under rolling motions can prove useful for fundamental understanding of flow field inside the modern small modular nuclear reactors. The objective of the present study is to simulate the influence of rolling ...
