The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Distance Scale

, 2011
The Magellanic Clouds, especially the Large Magellanic Cloud, are places where multiple distance indicators can be compared with each other in a straight-forward manner at considerable precision.

Spontaneous scale symmetry breaking at high temperature

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We consider a scale symmetric extension of the Standard Model Higgs scalar sector. The new sector, dilaton, is responsible for the generation of mass scales and may have geometric origin in the Weyl gravity R ~ 2 $$ {\overset{\sim }{R}}^2 $$ term.

Slow fluctuations in enhanced Raman scattering and surface roughness relaxation

, 2003
We propose an explanation for the recently measured slow fluctuations and ``blinking'' in the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum of single molecules adsorbed on a silver colloidal particle. We suggest that these fluctuations may be related

EXPLAIN, AGREE, LEARN: Scaling Learning for Neural Probabilistic Logic

Neural probabilistic logic systems follow the neuro-symbolic (NeSy) paradigm by combining the perceptive and learning capabilities of neural networks with the robustness of probabilistic logic. Learning corresponds to likelihood optimization of the neural networks.

Green analytical chemistry metrics for evaluating the greenness of analytical procedures

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis
Green analytical chemistry (GAC) focuses on mitigating the adverse effects of analytical activities on human safety, human health, and environment. In addition to the 12 principles of GAC, proper GAC tools should be developed and employed to assess the ...

Laminar and turbulent dynamos in chiral magnetohydrodynamics. II. Simulations [PDF]

, 2018
Using direct numerical simulations (DNS), we study laminar and turbulent dynamos in chiral magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with an extended set of equations that accounts for an additional contribution to the electric current due to the chiral magnetic effect

Neither agree nor disagree: use and misuse of the neutral response category in Likert-type scales

METRON
Abstract The Likert-type scales are among the most widely implemented instruments in social sciences, nonetheless, it is not clear so far whether such scales should or should not employ a mid-point “neutral” response option. While a mid-point category might improve the psychometric properties of survey instruments when appropriately applied ...

Gravitational Correction to Running of Gauge Couplings

, 2005
We calculate the contribution of graviton exchange to the running of gauge couplings at lowest non-trivial order in perturbation theory. Including this contribution in a theory that features coupling constant unification does not upset this unification ...
