Investigation of the Thermophysical Behavior of Quark–Gluon Plasma

Abstract At very high temperatures and energy densities, a deconfined state of highly interacting matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created, in which quarks and gluons are no longer bound inside hadrons. Relatistic heavy-ion collisions at CERN and Brookhaven National Labo...

Two Surfaces of Ambiguity: Complementary Detection for Text-to-SQL

Natural-language interfaces to relational databases increasingly rely on LLMs, but real-world queries are routinely ambiguous, admitting multiple valid SQL interpretations. In interactive deployment, the system should detect this ambiguity and ask for clarification rather than co...

Charge readout electronics for the DUNE horizontal drift far detector : design and performance in ProtoDUNE-HD

DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment currently under construction, whose far detectors will be the largest liquid argon time projection chambers ever built. This detector design calls for custom-built cryogenic front-end e...

Natural Strategies to Improve Sleep: The Role of the Circadian Rhythm

Abstract Sleep is essential for physical and mental health. However, modern lifestyles often disrupt the circadian rhythm, contributing to poor sleep quality and increasing the prevalence of sleep disorders. Prolonged circadian disruption has also been associated with adverse car...

EFFECT OF Organisational CULTURE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: A Structured Literature Review with Implications for David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital (DUFUTH)

Organisational culture shapes how employees interpret institutional expectations, interact with colleagues, respond to leadership, share knowledge and perform assigned responsibilities. This review synthesises the literature compiled in the source manuscript on the relationship b...

Shape coexistence in 94Zr from a model-independent analysis

Low-lying states of 94Zr were investigated via low-energy multi-step Coulomb excitation. From the measured γ-ray yields, 16 reduced E2 transition probabilities between low-spin states were determined, together with the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of the 2+1,2 states. Based o...

Place label nudges : How place attachment shapes recycling choice

Consumers often discard everyday products like paper cups instead of recycling them. To address this environmental challenge, we propose and test a novel identity-based nudge: labelling products with a place name. Across five studies and two additional studies utilising choice ex...

Effects of medium, text structure and participant characteristics on reading comprehension in young readers

Background: The increased availability of digital technologies and online reading materials are changing children’s reading and learning practices. This study examines young readers’ comprehension of expository text presented in different media (print vs digital), and whether thi...

MSP4BIO Deliverable 3.4: Ecological toolkit (ESE1) for MPAs prioritization and networking

The Ecological Toolkit (ESE1) was developed to support the design, establishment and management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by improving decision-making processes, focusing on prioritisation of areas, integration of connectivity processes and assessment of human impacts on m...

Utilitarianism and Weak Sustainability : A Corpus Analysis of the Representation of the Sea by the UK Government (2010-2023)

This article explores how the sea is represented in the UK government’s communications by applying corpus linguistic analysis to textual data. The findings reveal a dominant discourse that frames the sea primarily as an economic asset, emphasizing investment and sustainable explo...

Who and what should we remember? Public commemoration as a site of justice

Public commemoration is different from other goods that a state distributes or activities that states undertake, as it is a practice of memory, that involves ritualization, which focuses on emotional connection and identity formation rather than strict historical accuracy.It is a...

The Information Index: Foundations of Information Measurement in Persistence Science

The Information Index provides the foundational framework through which information is measured within Persistence Science. The theory introduces the Information Index: I = S × ηI where S represents Structural Organization and ηI represents Informational Efficiency. Unlike classi...

The Fractal Axis: Recursive Stratification, Temporal Isomorphs, and Inter-Scalar Epistemology Across Cosmic, Biotic, and Algorithmic Substrates

What connects the macro-scale architecture of the universe to the localized, subjective experience of the human mind? This pre-print introduces the concept of The Fractal Axis, formalizing a recursive, scale-invariant topology of consciousness that synthesizes the ontological fou...
