background: a substantial proportion of college students to not drink enough water and consume sugar-sweetened beverages (ssbs). consumption of ssbs is associated with weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dental carries, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. hence, the purpose of this study was to use the multi-theory model (mtm) in predicting initiation and sustenance of pl...

The one photon absorption (OPA) cross section of a current carrying two-orbital quantum dot (QD) with strong electron-phonon interaction (polaron regime) is considered. Using the self-consistent non-equilibrium Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation, we determine the dependence of OPA cross section on the applied bias voltage, the strength of effective electron-electron interaction, and level spacing ...

We consider tubular nanowires with a polygonal cross-section. In this geometry the lowest energy states are separated in two sets, one of corner and side-localized states, respectively. The presence an external magnetic field transverse to nanowire imposes additional localization mechanism, electrons being pushed sideways relatively direction field. This effect has important implications on cur...

This paper introduces an experimental work to study the behavior of 12 recycled aggregate concrete-filled steel tubular (RACFST) short columns with high-strength concrete grade subjected axial compression loading. These formed from six different cross-sections involving triangle, elliptical, and hexagon, whereas other three sections included traditional forms for control purposes, square, recta...

We calculate the cross section for the dissociation of J/ψ by kaons within the framework of a meson exchange model. We find that, depending on the values of the coupling constants used, the cross section can vary from 5 mb to 30 mb at √ s ∼ 5 GeV. In relativistic heavy ion collisions J/ψ suppression has been recognized as an important tool to identify the possible phase transition to quark-gluo...
