The indifference towards democracy in Latin America by Alejandro Monsivais-Carrillo

“…The analysis shows that the attitude of political indifference is associated with a heightened discontent about the performance of the political system. It is also more likely that people who declare they are politically indifferent distrust others more and are more likely to be women, teenagers, less educated, or live in a low-income household. …”

Probing exotic long-lived particles from the prompt side using the CONTUR method by L. Corpe, A. Goudelis, S. Jeannot, S. Jeon

“…The Contur workflow is modified to either account for the fraction of long-lived particles which decay early enough to be reconstructed as prompt, or to be sensitive to the recoil of such particles against a prompt system. This makes it possible to determine how many of signal events would be selected in the Rivet routines which encapsulate the fiducial regions of dozens of measurements of Standard Model processes by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. …”

A Mathematical Model for the Flow of a Casson Fluid due to Metachronal Beating of Cilia in a Tube by A. M. Siddiqui, A. A. Farooq, M. A. Rana

“…A mathematical model is developed to study the transport mechanism of a Casson fluid flow inspired by the metachronal coordination between the beating cilia in a cylindrical tube. A two-dimensional system of nonlinear equations governing the flow problem is formulated by using axisymmetric cylindrical coordinates and then simplified by employing the long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. …”
