Correlations among discontinuities in the QCD phase diagram [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2009
We show, in general, that when a discontinuity of either zeroth-order or first-order takes place in an order parameter such as the chiral condensate, discontinuities of the same order emerge in other order parameters such as the Polyakov loop. A condition for the coexistence theorem to be valid is clarified. Consequently, only when the condition breaks

QCD phase structure & equation of state: A functional perspective* [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
The phase structure of QCD remains an open fundamental problem of standard model physics. In particular at finite density, our knowledge is limited. Yet, numerous model studies point towards a rich and complex phase diagram at large density.

Detection of Toxic Gases and Volatile Organic Compounds Using Highly Adsorptive Nanomaterials: A Comprehensive Assessment

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights how nanomaterials with high adsorption capacities including carbon‐based structures, transition metal oxides, 2D layers, and zeolites enable sensitive and selective detection of toxic gases and VOCs. Their tailored properties and sensing mechanisms drive the development of next‐generation gas sensors for environmental and ...

Highly Variable Methane Production and Fluxes in a Hypereutrophic Lake Despite Uniform Bathymetry and Sediment Chemistry

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Hypereutrophic lakes support high sedimentation of labile organic carbon, promoting sediment anoxia and GHG potential production. Lakes with complex morphometry exhibit extensive spatial heterogeneity in sediment methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide CO2 dynamics. We wondered: do lakes with uniform bathymetry show low spatial variation in sediments'

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

WDR12 and HIVEP3 are contributors to cognitive preservation in Amish SuperAgers

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Cognitive SuperAgers (SAs) are individuals aged 80+ with exceptional episodic memory performance for their age, exceeding middle‐aged adult norms. This study integrates family‐ and association‐based methods to identify genetic variants associated with SAs in the Midwestern Amish population.

THE QCD PHASE DIAGRAM FOR SMALL CHEMICAL POTENTIALS [PDF]

open access: yesStrong and Electroweak Matter 2002, 2003
We compute derivatives of thermodynamic quantities with respect to $μ$, at $μ=0$ for 2 and 3 flavors of degenerate quark masses. This allows us to estimate the phase transition line in the $T,μ$ plane and quantify the influence of a non vanishing chemical potential on the equation of state by computing lines of constant energy, pressure and density ...

The effective QCD phase diagram and the critical end point

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2015
We study the QCD phase diagram on the temperature T and quark chemical potential μ plane, modeling the strong interactions with the linear sigma model coupled to quarks.
