Broad-band spectra of accreting X–ray binary pulsars can be fit by a phenomenological model composed by a power law with a high energy rollover above 10 keV, plus a blackbody component with a temperature of few hundred eV. While, at least qualitatively, the hard tail can be explained in terms of (inverse) Compton scattering, the origin of the soft component cannot find a unique explanation. Rec...

We deduce the qualitative phase diagram of a long flexible neutral polymer chain immersed in a poor solvent near an attracting surface using phenomenological arguments. The actual positions of the phase boundaries are estimated numerically from series expansion up to 19 sites of a self-attracting self-avoiding walk in three dimensions. In two dimensions, we calculate phase boundaries analytical...

abstract background: infertility is a serious problem in a couple’s life that affects their marriage relationships. so, dissatisfaction with sexual function resulting from interpersonal problems is common among these couples. this qualitative study aimed to explore the experiences of infertile women in their sexual life. materials and methods: this is a qualitative study with a phenomenological...

The agricultural industry lacks qualified workers, suggesting students may not participate in opportunities that effectively develop their employability skills. We used a phenomenological case study approach to investigate Texas A&M University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences students’ career-readiness factors influencing career-readiness. conducted interviews with 19 juniors seniors. O...
