We review the calculation of one-loop contributions to the three-gluon vertex, for arbitrary (off-shell) external momenta, in arbitrary covariant gauge and in arbitrary space-time dimension. We discuss how one can get the results for all on-shell limits of interest directly from the general off-shell expression. We review the calculation of one-loop contributions to the three-gluon vertex, for ...

Digital crowdsourcing (CS) is a modern approach to perform certain large projects using small contributions of a large crowd. In CS, a taskmaster typically breaks down the project into small batches of tasks and assigns them to so-called workers with imperfect skill levels. The crowdsourcer then collects and analyzes the results for inference and serving the purpose of the project. In this work...

One of the most intriguing recent discoveries in biogeochemistry is the ubiquity of cryptic sulfur cycling. From subglacial lakes to marine oxygen minimum zones, and in marine sediments, cryptic sulfur cycling—the simultaneous consumption and production of sulfate—has been observed. Though this process does not leave an imprint in the sulfur budget of the ambient environment—thus the term crypt...

A hierarchical product model seeks to model network traac as a product of independent on/oo processes. Previous studies have assumed a Markovian structure for component processes amounting to assuming that exponential distributions govern on and oo periods but this is not in good agreement with traac measurements. However, if the number of factor processes grows and input rates are stabilized b...

The CRISPR-Cas9 system (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats with associated Cas9 protein) has been used to generate targeted changes for direct modification of endogenous genes in an increasing number of plant species; but development of plant genome editing has not yet fully considered potential off-target mismatches that may lead to unintended changes within the genome. ...
