We present the results of the first gauge-origin independent calculations, carried out at Hartree-Fock level, of the molecular parameters that describe the electric-field-induced linear birefringence, also known as Buckingham birefringence. Focus is in particular on the temperature-independent contribution to the observable. We employ a recently developed analytical scheme for calculating frequ...

Malaria, an often-fatal disease, has been a worldwide plague for several thousand years. The discovery of the efficacy of substances present in the bark of various cinchona trees, native to the Andes, provided some relief. A real antimalarial drug was not available until 1820, when Joseph Baptiste Caventou (1795-1877) and Josephe Pelletier (1788-1842) isolated quinine from the bark (1). Eighty ...

The climate of a planet can be strongly affected by its eccentricity due to variations in the stellar flux. There are two limits for dependence inner habitable zone boundary (IHZ) on eccentricity: (1) mean-stellar flux approximation ($S_{\mbox{IHZ}} \propto \sqrt{1-e^2}$), which temperature is approximately constant throughout orbit, and (2) maximum-stellar (1-e)^2$), adjusts instantaneously Wh...

A scale electro-thermal model has been developed for LiFePO4/graphite lithium-ion battery. Such is appropriate in order to develop a physical emulation of battery the context hardware loop process, especially testing energy management strategies microgrids under same conditions (solar irradiation PV arrays, wind speed turbine, state health storage device) and potentially by compressing time. Cl...

Sunflower threshing is one of the most interesting field processes for making sunflower ready seed handling, drying, cleaning and oil extraction. One biggest problems observed during process accumulation threshed crop on first third roller passing off some unthreshed parts heads. To solve aforementioned problem optimize efficiency process, this research was focused devising testing a machine wi...

On November 25, 2022, Professor Julian Richards, Director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at University Buckingham (BUCSIS), delivered his opening remarks panel five 2022 West Coast Conference. Richards discussed importance understanding cyber threats to build resilience, supply shortage in market cybersecurity related jobs, bringing academics practitioners together discussi...

Abstract In the present research, three different data-driven models (DDMs) are developed to predict discharge coefficient of streamlined weirs (Cdstw). Some machine-learning methods (MLMs) and intelligent optimization (IOMs) such as Random Forest (RF), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), gene expression program (GEP) employed for prediction Cdstw. To identify input variables Cdstw b...
