Bifunctional mechanism and Pt–Had binding energy can be discriminated by a new descriptor, Q(Hupd) : Q(Coz+) ratio to tailor the HOR activity on Pt–Co surface in alkaline environment.

We extend the recently introduced framework of metric distortion to multiwinner voting. In this framework, n agents and m alternatives are located in an underlying space. The exact distances between unknown. Instead, each agent provides a ranking alternatives, ordered from closest farthest. Typically, goal is select single alternative that approximately minimizes total distance agents, worst-ca...

We describe the utility of integral representations for sums basic hypergeometric functions. In particular we use these to derive an infinite sequence transformations symmetrizations over certain variables which functions possess. These were studied by Bailey, Slater, Askey, Roy, Gasper and Rahman also used facilitate computation outstanding problems in theory orthogonal polynomials q-Askey sch...

New analyses of gravitational wave events raise questions about the nature some events. For example, LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA initially determined GW151226 to be a merger with mass-ratio $q\approx0.5$ and effective inspiral spin $\chi_{\text{eff}}\approx 0.2$. However, recent works offer an alternative picture: is lower-mass-ratio event $q \approx 0.3$ slightly higher 0.3$. This discrepancy has been ...

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence systems have received an increasing amount of academic interest in Economics and Finance. Among these works, Artificial Stock Markets (ASM) have particularly benefited from the agent based approach and from the Multi-Agent philosophy. The application fields for Agents-based modelling and simulations in Finance appears extremely promising. For example, on...

We report a new measurement of the exclusive electroproduction reaction gamma(*)p-->pi(0)p to explore the evolution from soft nonperturbative physics to hard processes via the Q(2) dependence of the magnetic (M(1+)), electric (E(1+)), and scalar (S(1+)) multipoles in the N-->Delta transition. 9000 differential cross section data points cover W from threshold to 1.4 GeV/c(2), 4pi center-of-mass ...
