A quantitative evaluation of dilepton sources in heavy-ion reactions is performed taking into account both thermal and non-thermal production mechanisms. The hadronic thermal emission rate is based on an electromagnetic current-correlation function with a low-mass region (LMR, M . 1 GeV) dominated by vector mesons (ρ, ω, φ) and an intermediate-mass region (IMR, 1 GeV ≤ M ≤ 3 GeV) characterized ...

Abstract. Changes in evaporation over land affect terrestrial precipitation via atmospheric moisture recycling and, consequently, freshwater availability. Although global at regional and continental scales is relatively well understood, the patterns of local main variables that impact it remain unknown. We calculate ratio (LMR) as fraction evaporated precipitates within a distance 0.5∘ (typical...

Climate change may impact ocean ecosystems through a number of mechanisms, including shifts in primary productivity or plankton community structure, acidification, and deoxygenation. These processes can be simulated with global Earth system models (ESMs), which are increasingly being used the context fisheries management other living marine resource (LMR) applications. However, projections LMR-...

We develop analytic approximations of thermodynamic functions of fully ionized nonideal electron-ion plasma mixtures. In the regime of strong Coulomb coupling, we use our previously developed analytic approximations for the free energy of one-component plasmas with rigid and polarizable electron background and apply the linear mixing rule (LMR). Other thermodynamic functions are obtained throug...

The influence of graphene oxide (GO) over the features of an optical fiber ethanol sensor based on lossy mode resonances (LMR) has been studied in this work. Four different sensors were built with this aim, each comprising a multimode optical fiber core fragment coated with a SnO₂ thin film. Layer by layer (LbL) coatings made of 1, 2 and 4 bilayers of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and graphene oxide ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and prognostic significance of pathological and inflammatory marker in mucinous rectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and curative surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the patient records of mucinous rectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and curative surgery a...

Growing evidence showed that inflammation response plays an important role in cancer development and progression, and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute monocyte count (AMC), and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) have been used as parameters of systemic inflammation in several tumors. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic significance of preoperative ALC, AMC and LMR in breast canc...

This work demonstrates that the use of an unconventional optical fiber allows for generating lossy mode resonances (LMR), without need external high refractive index thin film. The basic idea consists using few centimeters having large core and cladding with higher index, which is spliced between two multi-mode fibers. Here, role such kind got by a commercially available double (DCF) W-type (RI...

Runtime data alignment has been paid attention recently since it can allocate data segment to processors dynamically according to applications’ requirement. One of the key optimizations of this problem is to schedule simultaneous communications to avoid contention and to minimize the overall communication costs. The NP-completeness of the problem has instigated researchers to propose different ...

The Dirac and Weyl semimetals are unusual materials in which the nodes of the bulk states are protected against gap formation by crystalline symmetry. The chiral anomaly, predicted to occur in both systems, was recently observed as a negative longitudinal magnetoresistance (LMR) in Na3Bi (ref. ) and in TaAs (ref. ). An important issue is whether Weyl physics appears in a broader class of materi...
