Synergistic Effect on Enhanced Oil Recovery in High Salinity Carbonate Reservoirs Using a Novel PEI‐Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in mature reservoirs is hindered by high interfacial tension (IFT) and oil‐wet rock formations, especially under harsh, high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to overcome these limitations by synthesizing a novel carbon nanotube nanocomposite covalently grafted with polyethylenimine and non‐covalently ...

Systematic Effects in Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing with DESI

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey will measure spectroscopic redshifts for millions of galaxies across roughly $14,000 \, \mathrm{deg}^2$ of the sky.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

Cluster Lensing Mass Inversion (CLUMI+): Combining Dynamics and Weak Lensing around Galaxy Clusters

The Astrophysical Journal
We present clumi+ , a self-consistent, multiprobe methodology for reconstructing the mass distribution in and around galaxy clusters by combining gravitational lensing and dynamical observations. Building on the joint likelihood framework of K.

Particle dark matter searches in the anisotropic sky

Frontiers in Physics, 2014
Anisotropies in the electromagnetic emission produced by dark matter annihilation or decay in the extragalactic sky are a recent tool in the quest for a particle dark matter evidence.

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Precision Measurement of Large Shear Signals

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
So far, estimators of galaxy shape distortions are only carefully studied perturbatively in the case of small shear signals, mainly for weak-lensing science.

Periglacial Puzzles: Unravelling Environmental Controls on Alpine Solifluction Lobe Dimensions and Shape

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe

Dark against Luminous Matter around Isolated Central Galaxies: A Comparative Study between Modern Surveys and IllustrisTNG

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Based on independent shear measurements using the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey/DR8 imaging data, we measure the weak lensing signals around isolated central galaxies (ICGs) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey/DR7 at z ∼ 0.1.

Maximum-entropy reconstruction of gravitational lenses using shear and/or magnification data

, 2000
We demonstrate that the maximum-entropy method for gravitational lens reconstruction presented in Bridle et al. (1998) may be applied even when only shear \emph{or} magnification information is present. We also demonstrate that the method can easily handle irregularly shaped observing fields and, because shear is a non-local function of the lensing ...
