Nucleon decay as a probe of flavor symmetry: the case of fake unification by Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe

“…By introducing flavor symmetry through the FN mechanism, the model addresses the flavor puzzle of quark and lepton mass hierarchies and mixing patterns. Our analysis demonstrates that nucleon decay rates and branching fractions in the fake GUT are sensitive to flavor symmetry, providing a means to distinguish it from conventional GUT predictions. …”

Coastal aquifers key contributors to ocean chemistry through solute fluxes by Yael Kiro

“…Moreover, they are dynamically linked to sea-level changes: falling sea levels enhance SGD-driven solute inputs, whereas rising sea levels suppress them. These patterns suggest that SGD fluxes may regulate long-term climate trends, including rates of global cooling or warming.…”

Rapid radiations underlie most of the known diversity of life by John J. Wiens, Daniel S. Moen

“…Specifically, we quantify how much of Earth’s species richness is contained within rapid radiations (clades with high net diversification rates). We find that among the major clades of living organisms and among land plant phyla and animal phyla, >80% of known species richness is contained within the few clades in the upper 90th percentile for diversification rates in each group. …”
