The ATLAS physics program at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) calls for a precision in the luminosity measurement of ±1%. A larger uncertainty would represent the dominant systematic error in some precision measurements, including the Higgs sector. To fulfil such requirement in an environment characterized by up to 140 simultaneous interactions per bunch crossing (200 in the ultimate scenario), AT

Quark spin effects in hadronization have been recently included in the PYTHIA 8 event generator for the simulation of the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process off a polarized nucleon target via the external StringSpinner package. The spin effects can be simulated for the production of pseudoscalar mesons using the string+3P0 model of polarized quark fragmentation and parametrizations of the tra

We go beyond the state-of-the-art by combining first principal lattice results and effective field theory approaches as Polyakov Loop model to explore the non-perturbative dark deconfinement-confinement phase transition and the generation of gravitational-waves in a dark Yang-Mills theory. We further include fermions with different representations in the dark sector. Employing the Polyakov-Nambu-J

Time-resolved analysis of photon cross-correlation function g(2)(τ) is applied to photoluminescence (PL) of individual submicrometer size MAPbI3 perovskite crystals. Surprisingly, an antibunching effect in the long-living tail of PL is observed, while the prompt PL obeys the photon statistics typical for a classical emitter. We propose that antibunched photons from the PL decay tail originate from

Totally ramified rational maps and regularly ramified rational maps are defined and studied in this paper. We first give a complete classification of regularly ramified rational maps and show that our definition of a regularly ramified rational map is equivalent to a much stronger definition of a map of this kind given by Milnor [Dynamics in one complex variable, Princeton University Press, Prince

In this short note we observe that within the family of slowly recurrent rational maps on the Riemann sphere, the Collet–Eckmann, second Collet–Eckmann, and topological Collet–Eckmann conditions are equivalent and also invariant under topological conjugacy.

Most landscapes are comprised of multiple habitat types differing in the biodiversity they contain. This is certainly true for human modified landscapes, which are often a mix of habitats managed with different intensity, semi-natural habitats and even pristine habitats. To understand fundamental questions of how the composition of such landscapes affects biodiversity conservation, and to evaluate

INTRODUCTION Worldwide every third women is exposed to physical and/or sexual violence and pregnancy is no safe period for the women. The aim was to elucidate midwives experience of violence-exposed pregnant women who had been referred to a prenatal ward and were hospitalized. METHODS An inductive qualitative method was used with four focus-group interviews performed with sixteen midwives working

It is well known from Maxwell theory that electromagnetic radiation is emitted whenever electric charges are accelerated in free space. This radiation assumes quite extraordinary properties whenever the charged particles move at ultrarelativistic speed: The radiation becomes very powerful and tightly collimated in space, and it may easily cover a rather wide spectrum ranging from the THz into the

Many allergens are widely used in both consumer and occupational products. In many cases, it is difficult to know all the ingredients of a product since most products are not sufficiently labelled. To diagnose and prevent allergic contact dermatitis, the demonstration of allergens in the products from the patient’s environment is important. Chemical analysis of a product can make it possible to de

Dental professionals and dental patients are exposed to the same sensitizers, but the outcome is very different. Dental professionals suffer predominantly from irritant contact dermatitis and to a lesser degree from allergic contact dermatitis to acrylates and rubber products. Dental patients rarely have allergic contact stomatitis. In this chapter, the reader will learn about the multiple factors

While process improvement is an increasingly important topic for organizations, academic institutions find it hard to teach the topic in a cross functional real world project manner. This paper describes a unique course which is theoretically sound, academically rigorous, multi-disciplinary, and practically relevant while providing the students with a transformational learning opportunity. The cou

An important consequence of protein-lipid interaction is the effect on stability of the protein in solution as well as on its behavior at interfaces. Here we will discuss key aspects of protein aggregation and unfolding as well as the effects of protein structure (random coil proteins versus globular) that are relevant for our understanding protein-lipid interaction. The main types of emulsifiers

Ecosystem services are benefits supplied by ecosystem to human societies. In France, recent legislation aims to include ecosystem service in environmental impact studies with the enactment of the Law for the recovery of biodiversity, nature and landscapes (2016). To do so, it is necessary to develop field methods for ecosystem service estimation. In this setting, a collaboration was established be

Avhandlingens syfte är att kartlägga och analysera fenomenet manliga sexarbetare, specifikt män som säljer sex till andra män, i Italien och Sverige. Medan kvinnors sexarbete har studerats av många forskare runt om i världen, har den manliga sidan av detta fenomen inte uppmärksammats i samma grad. Kunskapsluckan inom forskningen speglar en mer generell osynlighet eller brist på förståelse för dessThis research aims to map and analyse the phenomenon of male sex workers (specifically men who sell sex to other men) in Italy and Sweden. While female sex work has been studied by several scholars worldwide, there is a lack of attention on the male side of the phenomenon. This gap in the academic literature mirrors a more general “invisibility” and “misconception” of the issue in other domains: i
