Quasi-Classical Gravity Effect on Neutrino Oscillations in a Gravitational Field of a Heavy Astrophysical Object by Jonathan Miller, Roman Pasechnik

“…This graviton-induced decoherence is compared to decoherence due to propagation in the presence of the Earth matter effect. Based on this study, we propose a new technique for the indirect detection of energetic gravitons by measuring the flavor composition of astrophysical neutrinos.…”

Geophysical stratified turbulence and mixing in the laboratory by Lefauve, Adrien

“…The resulting mixing controls the vertical transport of heat and tracers that are key to large-scale layering and circulation patterns, including those crucial to Earth’s climate. However, the physics of sheared stratified turbulence remain poorly understood due to their extraordinary range of scales and spatio-temporal intermittency. …”

Jesus uttering his last words and drawing on his final breath: reflecting on Luke 23:46 by P. Nagel

“…It deliberately accentuates the mundane, “human” character of Jesus’ “last” moments on this earth. The purpose of this reflection is to come to a deeper appreciation of his death, with the hope that it might mean something to someone struggling to breathe while dying. …”

Premières observations sur les ateliers de verriers de la rue Marie-Clémence-Fouriaux à Reims/Durocortorum by Aurore Louis, Pascal Stocker

“…Although the layout of the building can be compared to other Gallo-Roman workshops (domed ovens, pits or hearths for annealing, and waste disposal areas), the construction technique differs, in that raw earth materials (bricks, cob) were frequently used instead of the typical terracotta materials. …”

Effect of Wrapping on Post-Tensioned Beams Strengthened with Natural Sisal and Jute FRP Using Finite Element Analysis by D. P. Archana, H. N. Jagannatha Reddy, R. Prabhakar, M. U. Aswath, Basavaraju Paruti

“…Existing buildings are retrofitted to formulate them to be more resistant to seismic activity, earth motion, and other natural disasters. Many available reinforced concrete buildings across the globe are in desperate need of rehabilitation, repair, or replacement owing to degradation caused by a variety of reasons such as corrosion, lack of detailing, and failure of beam-column bonding, among others. …”

Recovery of Strategic High-Value Fission Products from Spent Nuclear Fuel During Reprocessing by Holdsworth Alistair F., Eccles Harry, George Kathryn, Sharrad Clint A.

“…By recovering these resources, such as the platinum group metals (PGMs – Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag), rare earth elements (REEs – Y, La to Dy), and noble gases (He, Kr, Xe), and various other useful isotopes, from SNF during reprocessing operations, the high costs incurred have the potential to be partially or completely offset, in addition to benefits from reducing waste volumes. …”

Phenomenology of MaVaN’s Models in Reactor Neutrino Data by M. F. Carneiro, P. C. de Holanda

“…Under the assumption of one mass scale dominance, we perform an analysis of KamLAND neutrino data which depends on 4 parameters: the two standard oscillation parameters, Δm0,212 and tan2θ12, and two new coefficients which parameterize the environment dependence of neutrino mass. We introduce an Earth’s crust model to compute precisely the density in each point along the neutrino trajectory. …”
