"Set It and Forget It" Hydroponic Lettuce by Hannah Wooten

“…However, the on-going loss of agricultural land to development, increasing labor costs, and decreasing water resources creates a need for alternative agricultural systems. Hydroponic food production can produce similar yields as traditional agriculture using less water, land, and labor. …”

Tomorrow’s Ethics in a Globalizing World

“…They are as follows: firstly, from the ethics of obedience to an ethic of creative commitment; secondly, from a primary concern with micro-ethics to an equal and even greater concern with macro-ethics; thirdly, from a cluster of regional value systems to a cooperatively created global ethic; in the fourth place, from a conceptual base in western philosophy and theology to an academic base in the social and natural sciences; and in the fifth place, from dependence on religion in important parts of the world, including ours, to what I want to call a relationship with religion characterized by cooperative, critical and creative independence for ethics. …”

Recent conventional and exotic charmonia results from LHCb by Kang Youen

“…With the large datasets of pp and pPb collisions, and excellent vertexing capabilities allowing separation of the prompt and b-decay components, LHCb performs precise measurements of J/ψ, ψ(2S ) and, for the first time at the LHC, χc production and modification in small collision systems. This contribution will discuss these results, along with the first measurement of the nuclear modification factor of the exotic χc1(3872).…”

Thermalization in Krylov basis by Mohsen Alishahiha, Mohammad Javad Vasli

“…Abstract We study thermalization in closed non-integrable quantum systems using the Krylov basis. We demonstrate that for thermalization to occur, the matrix representation of typical local operators in the Krylov basis should exhibit a specific tridiagonal form with all other elements in the matrix being exponentially small, reminiscent of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. …”
