We establish experimental and numerical evidence that the refractive index sensitivities of various subwavelength plasmonic sensors obey a simple universal scaling relation that the sensitivities linearly increase with λm/neff (where λm is the resonant wavelengths and neff is the effective refractive index of the environment) and exhibit a slope equal to 1 instead of 2 predicted theoretically. ...

We consider the decoupling of neutrinos in the early Universe in presence of nonstandard neutral current neutrino-electron interactions (NSI). We first discuss a semi-analytical approach to solve the relevant kinetic equations and then present the results of fully numerical and momentum-dependent calculations, including flavor neutrino oscillations. We present our results in terms of both the e...

The threshold region of vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) presents a great experimental and computational challenge for organic molecules with more than 10 degrees of freedom. The density of states is sufficiently high to require very high resolution measurements to cover all relevant time scales experimentally. Yet it is sufficiently low so IVR quantities, such as the initial relaxation ...

We place limits on the mean density of the universe Ωm and the effective slope of the linear power spectrum around a megaparsec scale neff by comparing the universal mass function to the observed luminosity function. Numerical simulations suggest that the dark matter halo mass function at small scales depends only on Ωm(neff +3) independent of the overall power spectrum normalization. Matching ...

The purpose of the present study was to adapt Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003) into Polish, examine its validity and reliability, determine population norms for this tool. involved 604 adults (aged 18–85 years, 278 women 326 men), constituting a representative sample Polish in terms gender, age, place residence. adaptation procedure carried out according rules translation, demonstrating ...
