Effects of heat generation and absorption on thermal radiative MHD flow of chemically reacting Casson nanofluids over a wedge by S. Venkateswarlu, B. Hari Babu, M. Veera Krishna

“…Studying flow over a wedge helps in understanding how fluids behave near sharp edges. This investigation represents the effect of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation on MHD of a chemically reacting flow of the Casson nanofluid across the moving wedge by the convective boundary conditions with internal heat generation/absorption. …”

A study on the optimal allocation of photovoltaic storage capacity for rural new energy microgrids based on double-layer multi-objective collaborative decision-making by Huixuan Li, Peng Li, Xianyu Yue, Yongle Zheng, Wenjing Zu, Hongkai Zhang

“…First, an outer optimization objective function containing constraints on capacity allocation, line transmission security, charging and discharging power of the energy storage system, microgrid security, and power supply reliability was constructed, and an inner optimization objective function containing constraints on energy storage self-discharge correction and power balance was constructed. The quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the optimal solution set of the objective function, and the interactive multi-criteria decision-making method is used to select the compromise solution to realize efficient optimal allocation of optical storage capacity. …”

The Interaction of Topicalization and Left-Dislocation in English by Betty J. Birner, Gregory Ward

“…Finally, whereas previous work has found that discourse functions behave compositionally, this study suggests that where compositionality is precluded, an additional function may be discerned, justifying the simultaneous use of multiple constructions.…”

Differentiating the Acceleration Mechanisms in the Slow and Alfvénic Slow Solar Wind by Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero, Tania Varesano, Michael L. Stevens, Julia E. Stawarz, Katharine K. Reeves, Jim M. Raines, John C. Raymond, Christopher J. Owen, Stefano A. Livi, Susan T. Lepri, Enrico Landi, Jasper. S. Halekas, Tamar Ervin, Ryan M. Dewey, Rossana De Marco, Raffaella D’Amicis, Jean-Baptiste Dakeyo, Stuart D. Bale, B. L. Alterman

“…An analysis that integrates remote and heliospheric properties and modeling of the two distinct solar wind streams finds that Alfvénic slow solar wind behaves like fast wind, where a wave pressure gradient is required to reconcile its full acceleration, while non-Alfvénic slow wind can be driven by its nonadiabatic electron and proton thermal pressure gradients. …”

Exploring when to exploit: the cognitive underpinnings of foraging-type decisions in relation to psychopathy by D. V. Atanassova, J. M. Oosterman, A. O. Diaconescu, C. Mathys, V. I. Madariaga, I. A. Brazil

“…Abstract Impairments in reinforcement learning (RL) might underlie the tendency of individuals with elevated psychopathic traits to behave exploitatively, as they fail to learn from their mistakes. …”

Dimer Is Not Double: The Unexpected Behavior of Two-Floor Peptide Nanosponge by Grazia Maria Lucia Messina, Marta De Zotti, Alvaro S. Siano, Claudia Mazzuca, Giovanni Marletta, Antonio Palleschi

“…The latter result, together with the evidence that the layer thickness is not simply double the assembly of the monomeric analog, indicates that the dimeric peptide does not behave as a double monomer, but assumes very peculiar features.…”

On small Dirac neutrino masses in string theory by Gonzalo F. Casas, Luis E. Ibáñez, Fernando Marchesano

“…The neutrino mass suppression occurs because the right-handed neutrino kinetic term behaves as K νν ≃ 1/ g ν 2 $$ {g}_{\nu}^2 $$ . At the same time a tower of ν R -like states appears with characteristic scale m 0 ≃ g ν 2 M P $$ {g}_{\nu}^2{M}_{\textrm{P}} $$ ≃ 0.1 − 500 eV, in agreement with Swampland expectations. …”
