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. …”

Evolution Characteristics of Urban Heat Island Circulation for Loess Tableland Valley Towns by Zhuolei Yu, Yi Wang, Jukun Wang, Xiaoxue Wang, Songheng Wu

“…In order to further reveal the characteristics of city-scale closed circulation, the sensitivities of different factors influencing the start time, outflow time, mixing height and heat island intensity are analyzed, and the most significant factors influencing these four parameters are urban heat flux, slope height, slope height, and potential temperature lapse rate, respectively. Finally, the dimensionless mixing height and heat island intensity for the valley town increase by 56.80% and 128.68%, respectively, compared to those for the flat city. …”
