A Study on the Line of Sight to Galaxies Detected at Gamma-Ray Energies
The large-scale universal structure comprises strands of dark matter and galaxies with large underdense volumes known as voids. We measure the fraction of the line of sight that intersects voids for active galactic nuclei (AGN) detected by Fermi Large ...

The Known and Unknown About Female Reproductive Tract Mucus Rheological Properties
Mucus viscosity changes as spermatozoa travel through the female reproductive tract to the egg in humans, bovines, mice, and other mammals. These changes may aid in spermatozoa navigation. However, limited information is available on the viscoelastic properties of female reproductive tract mucus, and consistent measurement techniques are lacking ...

The blazars are one of the leading candidate sources of high-energy neutrinos. Recently, two blazars have been found to be temporally and spatially correlated with some IceCube high-energy neutrino events. The two blazars, GB6 J2113+1121 and NVSS J171822+

Abstract Background Respiratory motion during the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) acquisition can cause blurring artifacts in the reconstructed images, leading to inaccurate estimates for activity and absorbed doses. Purpose To address the impact of respiratory motion, we utilized a new optical surface imaging (OSI) system to extract

Search for Kink Events in Variable Fermi-LAT Blazars
This study explores the detection of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in blazars as a method to identify kink events within their jets, utilizing both γ -ray and polarized light observations. Focusing on a sample of nine blazars, we analyze γ -ray light

The status of gamma-ray astronomy
Gamma-ray studies are an essential tool in our search for the origin of cosmic rays. Instruments like the Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS have revolutionized our understanding of the high energy Universe. This paper describes the status of the very rich field of gamma-ray astrophysics that contains a wealth of data on Galactic and extragalactic ...

Use of 3He Neutron Sensors for Planetary Penetrator Experiments
Abstract This paper provides a report on a test that was carried out over 20 years ago to demonstrate that two 3He gas proportional neutron sensors could survive a high‐impact penetrator test. This test was carried out as part of a risk reduction effort for a proposed mission that would send multiple penetrators to landing locations within lunar ...
