Nuclear pasta is an exotic form of nuclear matter that occurs in the crust neutron stars below saturation density. Various structures with cylindrical, planar, and more complicated geometries evolve from Coulomb lattice nuclei immersed a fluid neutrons. Such should not only affect how star cools rotates but also height ``mountains'' can sustain---potentially detectable as persistent sources gra...

Winter snowpack is an important source of moisture that influences the development biological soil crusts (BSCs) in desert ecosystems. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms BSCs. However, responses cyanobacterial community BSCs to snowpack, snow depth and melting still unknown. In this study, we investigated composition diversity under different treatments (doubled snow, ambient removed sn...

A bstract We analytically calculate the neutrino conversion probability P μe in presence of sterile neutrinos, with exact dependence on $$ \Delta {m}_{41}^2 ∆ m 41 2 and matter effects explicitly included. Using perturbative...

soil erosion is a main hazard in most area of the country specially in arid and semi-arid regions and itis very important because of sedimentation, pollution, increased flooding and its negative effects onsoil productivity. one of the features of arid and semi-arid areas is the presence of low cover ofvascular plants. these empty spaces are usually good niches for biological soil crusts or cryp...

background: melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil has been traditionally used in the ayurvedic system of medicine for healing burns, infections and seborrheic dermatitis. but yet, no controlled human study has determined its efficacy. objective: the goal of the current study was to compare the efficacy of 5% tea tree essential oil (tto) gel with placebo in the treatment of mild to mod...

The study aims to investigate a cost-effective approach to convert non-pretreated rice straw hydrolysate into biobutanol. The influences of the initial cell concentration and incubation temperature on biobutanol production were evaluated under both sterile and non-sterile conditions. Results indicate that 100% glucose utilization could be achieved for initial cell concentrations greater than 21...
