A search for events with a dark photon produced in association with a dark Higgs boson via rare decays of the standard model Z boson is presented, using 139 fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The dark boson decays into a pair of dark photons, and at least two of the three dark photons must each decay into a pair of
A novel photoemission type of X-ray Beam Position Monitor (XBPM) for the 'white' undulator radiation is proposed. The XBPM employs beamline frontend fixed mask as a source of photocurrent signal. Signal spatial distribution and XBPM response were analyzed for various undulator radiation parameters.
The field of ultrafast science is dependent on either ultrashort laser pulse technology or ultrafast passive detection. While there exists a plethora of sub-picosecond laser pulse solutions, streak cameras are singular in providing sub-picosecond passive imaging capabilities. Therefore, their use in fields ranging from medicine to physics is prevalent. Streak cameras attain such temporal resolutio
This study constructs a Sustainable Halal Tourism Composite Performance Index (SHTCPI) to evaluate the progress of the global halal tourism industry from a sustainable tourism perspective. To create the SHTCPI, this study uses four dimensions (environment, social, economic, and halal tourism) and 24 indicators covering the 2010 to 2020 period and 116 countries. The findings suggest that halal tour
In photoacoustic imaging, the amplitude of the photoacoustic signal is used for mapping the spatial distribution of a chromophore in the body and few studies have focused on the potential of using frequency content of the photoacoustic data. This study investigates the feasibility of using the photoacoustic center frequency spectrum in differentiating microspheres of various sizes and colors in ph
Since Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, the People's Republic of China has been on a mission to break what it describes as ‘Western hegemony’ around global norms. Beijing is engaged in a struggle to strengthen its influence in global governance and has identified increasing China's ‘discourse power’ at the United Nations (UN) as key to achieving this goal. Focused on human rights, this paper exami
The clinical translation of photosensitizers based on ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes (RPCs) in photodynamic therapy of cancer faces several challenges. To address these limitations, we conducted an investigation to assess the potential of a cubosome formulation stabilized in water against coalescence utilizing a polyphosphoester analog of Pluronic F127 as a stabilizer and loaded with newly sy
Introduction Deep learning models for detecting episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) using rhythm information in long-term ambulatory ECG recordings have shown high performance. However, the rhythm-based approach does not take advantage of the morphological information conveyed by the different ECG waveforms, particularly the f-waves. As a result, the performance of such models may be inherently l
Objective: Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD II) is a common congenital heart defect, and interatrial communications among preterm children is even more common. The objective of this study was to calculate the incidence of ASD II in children, with assessment to gestational age at birth. Further, to assess maternal, prenatal and postnatal risk factors associated with ASD II among children of diffe
Precision medicine should aspire to reduce error and improve accuracy in medical and health recommendations by comparison with contemporary practice, while maintaining safety and cost-effectiveness. The etiology, clinical manifestation and prognosis of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and fatty liver disease are heterogeneous. Without standardized reportin
Rare Earth (RE) ion doped nanomaterials are promising candidates for a range of quantum technology applications. Among RE ions, the so-called Kramers' ions possess spin transitions in the GHz range at low magnetic fields, which allows for high-bandwidth multimode quantum storage, fast qubit operations as well as interfacing with superconducting circuits. They also present relevant optical transiti
This paper treats the problem of control signal saturation caused by feedforward control from measurable load disturbances. An efficient feedforward compensator will often give significant peaks in the control signal at fast changes in the load disturbance. These peaks may cause the control signal to reach a saturation limit. In the paper, it is shown that the anti-windup function may cause unnece
Aims: An observational nationwide all-comers prospective register study to analyse outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Methods and results: All patients undergoing coronary angiography in Sweden are registered in the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-b
COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan City in December 2019 and spread throughout Hubei Province and other parts of China. After causing significant morbidity and mortality in China, by February 2020, it had spread to numerous other countries, infecting millions of people and causing a large number of deaths across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic put a burden on almost all areas of the world inc
Recent years have seen an explosion in social media in our everyday lives, and a corresponding increase in social media research in IS. As social media researchers, we are intrigued by the problem of virtuality and context in social media research, and how we might apply reflexive research principles to such settings. In social media, the absence of a setting's real physical boundaries (to a large
Facebook is a frequently used Computer Mediated Environment (CME) for students and others to build social connections, with identities and deposited self-expression. Its widespread use makes it appropriate for consideration as an educational tool; though one that does not yet have clear guidelines for use. Whether a social networking site can be used for educational objectives remains largely unex
This chapter addresses the organization known as the Satanic Reds, which was founded in the latter half of the 1990s by Tani Jantsang and Philip Marsh. The organization has been described as a ”virtual audience cult,” and even though it is clear that several people have contributed in shaping it, the organization has been especially influenced by its two founders. Jantsang and Marsh have spoken fo
Despite the plethora of information on (S)-selective amine transaminases, the (R)-selective ones are still not well-studied; only a few structures are known to date, and their substrate scope is limited, apart from a few stellar works in the field. Herein, the structure ofLuminiphilus syltensis(R)-selective amine transaminase is elucidated to facilitate engineering towards variants active on bulki
