On the color simple group from chiral electroweak gauge groups [PDF]
Following the pioneering Okubo scrutiny of gauge simple groups for the quantum chromodynamics we show the constraints coming from the wondrous predictive leptoquark-bilepton flavordynamics connecting the number of color charges to solution of the flavor question and to an electric charge quantization unconstrained from the Dirac, Majorana or Dirac ...

Dog Bone Triplet Metamaterial Wave Plate [PDF]
Metamaterials are artificially made sub-wavelength structures arranged in periodic arrays. They can be designed to interact with electromagnetic radiation in many different and interesting ways such as allowing radiation to experience a negative refractive index (NRI). We have used this technique to design and build a quasi-optical Half Wave Plate (HWP)

Probing TMDs through azimuthal distributions of pions inside a jet in hadronic collisions [PDF]
The azimuthal distributions around the jet axis of leading pions produced in the jet fragmentation process in pp collisions are studied within the framework of the so-called generalized parton model. The observable leading-twist azimuthal asymmetries are estimated in kinematic configurations presently investigated at RHIC.

Patient Versus Clinician Reported Symptoms Agreement in Advanced Metastatic Bladder Cancer Patients
ABSTRACT Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improved survival in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC). Patient‐reported symptoms in this context were poorly studied. The study aimed to compare symptom severity between patients and clinicians.

Proliferation of the term “emotion dysregulation” in child psychopathology parallels the growing interest in processes that influence negative emotional reactivity. While it commonly refers to a clinical phenotype where intense anger leads to behavioral dyscontrol, the term implies etiology because anything that is dysregulated requires an impaired ...

Assessing the state of galaxy formation [PDF]
We present the results of a survey of nearby, quiescent, non-peculiar, extremely isolated galaxies to search for the gaseous remnants of galaxy formation. Such remnants are predicted to persist around galaxies into the present day by galaxy formation models. We find low-mass HI companions around 7 of 34 galaxies surveyed. In addition we find 5 galaxies

The impact of networking on innovative performance of new biotechnology firms: a combined econometric and scientometric analysis. [PDF]
This paper examines the impact of firm resources and network capabilities on innovative performance in a population of 117 biotech companies. After controlling for the traditional size and scope effects, the managerial focus of the firms' R&D activities ...

Effect of curing conditions and harvesting stage of maturity on Ethiopian onion bulb drying properties [PDF]
The study was conducted to investigate the impact of curing conditions and harvesting stageson the drying quality of onion bulbs. The onion bulbs (Bombay Red cultivar) were harvested at three harvesting stages (early, optimum, and late ...

Connecting Zeros in Pisano Periods to Prime Factors of $K$-Fibonacci Numbers [PDF]
The Fibonacci sequence is periodic modulo every positive integer $m>1$, and perhaps more surprisingly, each period has exactly 1, 2, or 4 zeros that are evenly spaced, which also holds true for more general $K$-Fibonacci sequences. This paper proves several conjectures connecting the zeros in the Pisano period to the prime factors of $K$-Fibonacci ...

The Effect of Organizational Context on Individual Performance [PDF]
Several observers have suggested that highly skilled workers convey little in the way of competitive advantage for firms due to their mobility. Implicit in this view is the belief that organizations are not important in determining the performance of ...
