Role of Earthworms in Soil Fertility Maintenance through the Production of Biogenic Structures by Tunira Bhadauria, Krishan Gopal Saxena

“…This is followed by the production of organic matter. So, in the short term, a more significant effect is the concentration of large quantities of nutrients (N, P, K, and Ca) that are easily assimilable by plants in fresh cast depositions. …”

Multi-messenger probes of asteroid mass primordial black holes: Superradiance spectroscopy, Hawking radiation, and microlensing by James B. Dent, Bhaskar Dutta, Tao Xu

“…Superradiance provides a unique opportunity for investigating dark sectors as well as primordial black holes, which themselves are candidates for dark matter over a wide mass range. Using axion-like particles as an example, we show that line signals emerging from a superradiated axion cloud combined with black hole Hawking radiation in extragalactic and galactic halos, along with microlensing observations lead to complementary constraints on parameter space combinations including the axion-photon coupling, axion mass, black hole mass, and its dark matter fraction, fPBH. …”

Fast plasma production by intense femtosecond extreme ultraviolet and x-ray pulses by C. Fasolato, E. Stellino, F. Sacchetti, C. Petrillo

“…We develop a semiempirical model to describe the creation of an electron plasma in matter at extreme conditions, as excited by high-intensity, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) or x-ray radiation pulses currently available at free-electron laser (FEL) facilities. …”

Soil CO2 Efflux in a Mixed Pine-Oak Forest in Valsaín (Central Spain) by Rosa Inclán, Daniel De la Torre, Marta Benito, Agustín Rubio

“…Measurements of soil CO2 efflux, soil temperatures, and moisture were conducted in nine 1963-m2 sampling plots distributed in a gradient around the ecotone between Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus pyrenaica Lam. forest stands. Total soil organic matter, Walkey-Black C, particulate organic matter, organic matter fraction below 53 μm, total soil nitrogen content, total soil organic carbon content, and pH were also measured under three representative mature oak, pine, and mixed pine-oak forest stands. …”

Stable Dyonic Thin-Shell Wormholes in Low-Energy String Theory by Ali Övgün, Kimet Jusufi

“…This method helps us to minimize the amount of the exotic matter. In this paper, we construct a four-dimensional, spherically symmetric, dyonic thin-shell wormhole with electric charge Q, magnetic charge P, and dilaton charge Σ, in the context of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. …”

Dynamics of Mixed Dark Energy Domination in Teleparallel Gravity and Phase-Space Analysis by Emre Dil, Erdinç Kolay

“…Here we propose a mixed dark energy domination which is constituted by tachyon, quintessence, and phantom scalar fields nonminimally coupled to gravity, in the absence of background dark matter and baryonic matter, in the framework of teleparallel gravity. …”
