Bounds of Degree-Based Molecular Descriptors for Generalized F-sum Graphs by Jia Bao Liu, Sana Akram, Muhammad Javaid, Abdul Raheem, Roslan Hasni

“…Wiener (1947) and Trinjastic and Gutman (1972) used molecular descriptors to find the boiling point of paraffin and total π-electron energy of the molecules, respectively. For molecular graphs, the general sum-connectivity and general Randić are well-studied fundamental topological indices (TIs) which are considered as degree-based molecular descriptors. …”

Testing the lepton content of the proton at HERA and EIC by Leandro Da Rold, Anibal D. Medina, Subhojit Roy, Carlos E. M. Wagner

“…In this article, we propose a novel way to test the computation of lepton PDFs of the proton by analyzing both non-resonant di-lepton and resonant Z gauge boson production processes induced by leptons within the proton at proton-electron colliders like HERA and EIC. Despite the fact that lepton PDFs of the proton are known to be small, this work demonstrates that both processes imply a measurable yield of events at HERA and EIC, which could be used to test these PDFs.…”

Discharge photoelectrocatalytic system for the degradation of aromatics by Hak-Soo Kim, Eun-Ah Lee, Ju-Hyeon Lee, Chul-Hee Han, Jin-Wook Ha, Yong-Gun Shul

“…Based on the experimental data, the rates of the removal of these compounds in this system are higher compared to either the discharge—only system (without the photocatalyst) or the photocatalyst—only system (without high voltage discharge), and the higher rates of degradation of these compounds in the photoelectrocatalytic system are attributed to the reduced rate of electron-hole recombination in TiO2.…”
