The dependence of f0(980) production on the final-state charged-particle multiplicity is reported for proton–proton (pp) collisions at the centre-of-mass energy, s= 13 TeV. The production of f0(980) is measured with the ALICE detector via the f0(980)?p+p- decay channel in a midrapidity region of |y|
The development and manufacturing process for Integrated Circuits (ICs) has become complex and globally distributed. System integrators use a mix of custom made logic with third-party Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, untrusted software tools, and external actors for manufacturing, post-production test, and validation. The many untrusted actors involved throughout the IC’s lifetime become a secur
The measurement of Σ+ production in pp collisions at s=13 TeV is presented. The measurement is performed at midrapidity in both minimum-bias and high-multiplicity pp collisions at s=13 TeV. The Σ+ is reconstructed via its weak-decay topology in the decay channel Σ+→p+π0 with π0→γ+γ. In a novel approach, the neutral pion is reconstructed by combining photons that convert in the detector material wi
Meson-baryon systems with strangeness content provide a unique laboratory for investigating the strong interaction and testing theoretical models of hadron structure and dynamics. In this work, the measured correlation functions for oppositely charged Ξ-K and Ξ−π pairs obtained in high-multiplicity pp collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC are presented. For the first time, high-precision data on the Ξ
The training of the state-of-the-art Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) consumes massive amounts of energy, while the human brain learns new tasks with remarkable efficiency. Currently, the training of DNNs relies almost exclusively on Backpropagation (BP). However, BP faces criticism due to its biologically implausible nature, underscoring the significant disparity in performance and energy efficiency b
Understanding metabolic processes of soil fungi is essential for elucidating their ecological roles in biogeochemical cycles and responses to emergent environmental stressors. Here, we demonstrate the potential of using stable isotope probing Raman (SIP-Raman) microspectroscopy in microfluidics technology-based soil chips to trace glucose metabolism rates and stress responses in laboratory grown f
This study critically explores the launch of the mission for 100 climate neutral cities in Europe. Key elements of the mission are introduced and analysed along with some of its challenges and ambiguities.
The islet β cells are the specific targets in an autoimmune process that eventually leads to the clinical onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The etiology is related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR-DQ genetic factors that are necessary but not sufficient for disease development. The environmental etiology is related to enterovirus infection in early childhood resulting in two endotypes. In HLA DR4
ObjectivesTo compare head acceleration between blind football players and non-disabled football players, and between anticipated and unanticipated conditions in blind football players.DesignLaboratory-based exploratory study.MethodsParticipants were ten football players (five blind football, five non-disabled; 80% female). Standardized head perturbations were applied in flexion, extension, lateral
This study investigates the first Climate City Contracts (CCCs) in Sweden and consequently Europe. To do so, it evaluates the content of the Swedish CCCs against a framework for best practice deep decarbonisation plans.
This study explores the global trend of cities declaring a climate emergency. To do so, it delves into the experiences in Sweden with climate emergency statements and if or how cities are adopting a ”climate emergency mode”.
A synchrotron-based experiment was carried out to demonstrate the potential of x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) to characterize collective dynamics driven by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) during magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) imaging. MMUS is a developing diagnostic imaging technique that has the potential to enable more precise cancer staging than other clinical
Drought-induced canopy browning and recovery dynamics threaten ecosystem stability worldwide, with Australia serving as a representative case. This study examined the 2019–2020 drought and subsequent recovery in Eucalyptus forests across two bioregions of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW): the North Coast and South Eastern Highlands. Canopy browning and recovery were quantified using a
Stickler syndrome is a collection of hereditary conditions that impact connective tissue, mainly collagen, and can cause a variety of symptoms, such as joint and bone abnormalities, hearing loss, and visual impairments. Previous studies suggest that mutations in the collagen-encoding genes are a primary cause of SS. These mutations can be inherited from parents to offspring and may vary significan
