Ionization of clusters in strong X-ray laser pulses [PDF]

, 2002
The effect of intense X-ray laser interaction on argon clusters is studied theoretically with a mixed quantum/classical approach. In comparison to a single atom we find that ionization of the cluster is suppressed, which is in striking contrast to the ...

On Gamification in the Context of Education: A Systematic Review and Evaluation Framework

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The application of gamification techniques in education is becoming increasingly common across different educational stages and disciplines. However, the widespread acceptance of their benefits leads to their implementation without verifying whether these benefits occur, what they are, and to what extent.

Enhanced Active Packaging Properties Through the Incorporation of Pomegranate Seed Oil Micro‐ and Nanoparticles

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 335-350, April 2026.
Biodegradable cassava starch films were developed incorporating micro‐ and nanoencapsulated pomegranate seed oil (PSO). The films exhibited enhanced mechanical flexibility, antioxidant activity and UV‐barrier properties. Particle size influenced the functional behaviour, highlighting lipid encapsulation as a key strategy to stabilize bioactive ...

Spectral statistics for unitary transfer matrices of binary graphs

, 2000
Quantum graphs have recently been introduced as model systems to study the spectral statistics of linear wave problems with chaotic classical limits. It is proposed here to generalise this approach by considering arbitrary, directed graphs with unitary ...
