Notary independence in the course of notarial acts by M. Ye. Vasylenko

“…It has been generalised that ensuring the appropriate level of notary independence in the course of notarial acts is important: firstly, for notaries themselves, since in this case they are able to perform their activities free from any influence, which is an additional guarantee of ensuring the regime of legality in their work; secondly, for users of notaries’ services, since notary independence is a guarantee of observance of the rights and freedoms of individuals and legal entities, and is also a preventive measure against any unlawful acts (fraud, document forgery, etc.).…”

SU(N) magnetism with ultracold molecules by Bijit Mukherjee, Jeremy M Hutson, Kaden R A Hazzard

“…In this paper, we predict that ultracold molecules shielded from destructive collisions with static electric fields or microwaves exhibit SU( N ) symmetry, which holds because deviations of the s-wave scattering length from the spin-free values are only about 3% for CaF with static-field shielding and are estimated to be even smaller for bialkali molecules. …”

Z′ Portal Dark Matter in the Minimal B-L Model by Satomi Okada

“…We consider a dark matter scenario in the context of the minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) with a B-L (baryon number minus lepton number) gauge symmetry, where three right-handed neutrinos with a B-L charge -1 and a B-L Higgs field with a B-L charge +2 are introduced to make the model anomaly-free and to break the B-L gauge symmetry, respectively. …”

Evaluation of the Risk of Recurrence in Patients with Local Advanced Rectal Tumours by Different Radiomic Analysis Approaches by Alaa Khadidos, Adil Khadidos, Olfat M. Mirza, Tawfiq Hasanin, Wegayehu Enbeyle, Abdulsattar Abdullah Hamad

“…Few studies, however, have explored the potential of radiomics in predicting recurrence-free survival. In this study, we evaluated and compared six conventional learning models and a deep learning model, based on MRI textural analysis of patients with locally advanced rectal tumours, correlated with the risk of recidivism; in traditional learning, we compared 2D image analysis models vs. 3D image analysis models, models based on a textural analysis of the tumour versus models taking into account the peritumoural environment in addition to the tumour itself. …”
