Influence of Dentin Priming with Tannin-Rich Plant Extracts on the Longevity of Bonded Composite Restorations by Mackeler Ramos Polassi, Thales de Sá Oliveira, Ana Calheiros de Carvalho, Lívia Soman de Medeiros Medeiros, Thiago André Moura Veiga, Carlos Frederico de Oliveira Graeff, Alejandra Hortencia Miranda González, Maria Cristina Marcucci, Simone dos Santos Grecco, Paulo Henrique Perlatti D’Alpino

“…Although some of the extracts changed the contact angle, which seems to improve the adhesive monomer permeation, the tannin-rich plant extract application prior to adhesive application was proven to be clinically unfeasible due to dentin staining.…”

Experimental Study on Nano-SiO2 Improving Concrete Durability of Bridge Deck Pavement in Cold Regions by Youkun Cheng, Zhenwu Shi

“…Nano-SiO2 effectively absorbs the calcium hydroxide released early by the hydration of cement, increases the calcium silicate hydrate content, and elevates the interface between the paste and aggregate of the hardened cement, which improves the durability of the concrete.…”

Random Statistical Analysis of Transverse Momentum Spectra of Strange Particles and Dependence of Related Parameters on Centrality in High Energy Collisions at the LHC by Xu-Hong Zhang, Fu-Hu Liu, Khusniddin K. Olimov, Airton Deppman

“…We have studied the transverse momentum (pT) spectra of the final-state strange particles, including K±, ϕ, Ξ, and Ω, produced in high energy lead–lead (Pb–Pb), proton–lead (p–Pb), xenon–xenon (Xe–Xe) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Taking into account the contribution of multiquark composition, whose probability density distribution is described by the modified Tsallis–Pareto-type function; we simulate the pT spectra of the final-state strange particles by a Monte Carlo method, which is shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data in most the cases. …”

New Phase-Fitted and Amplification-Fitted Fourth-Order and Fifth-Order Runge-Kutta-Nyström Methods for Oscillatory Problems by K. W. Moo, N. Senu, F. Ismail, M. Suleiman

“…Firstly, a three-stage fourth-order Garcia’s RKN method. Another method is Hairer’s RKN method of four-stage fifth-order. Both new derived methods have two variable coefficients with phase-lag of order infinity and zero amplification error (zero dissipative). …”

The (De)confinement Transition in Tachyonic Matter at Finite Temperature by Adamu Issifu, Francisco A. Brito

“…The aim is to achieve confinement at low temperatures T<Tc, (Tc is the critical temperature), similar to what occurs among quarks and gluons in hadrons at low energies. Also, we investigate scalar glueballs and QCD string tension and effect of temperature on them. …”

Large Rapidity Gap Method to Select Soft Diffraction Dissociation at the LHC by Emily Nurse, Sercan Sen

“…In order to observe diffractive events in this way, we consider the pseudorapidity acceptance in the forward region of the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and discuss the methods to select soft diffractive dissociation for pp collisions at s=7 TeV. …”

Investigating the system size dependence of hypernuclei production with A < 5 using the ALICE detector by Wang Yuanzhe

“…The production of (anti)hypernuclei is among the most promising probes for studying the production mechanism of light nuclei in high-energy hadronic collisions. According to coalescence predictions, the production of 3ΛH, 4ΛH, and 4ΛHe is sensitive to their internal wave function. …”

Exploring SMEFT couplings using the forward–backward asymmetry in neutral current Drell–Yan production at the LHC by the xFitter Developers’ team

“…Using the open-source fit platform xFitter, we investigate the impact of high-statistics measurements of the neutral current DY (NCDY) forward–backward asymmetry $$A_{\textrm{FB}}$$ A FB near the weak boson mass scale in the present and forthcoming stages of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Besides recovering earlier results on the $$A_{\textrm{FB}}$$ A FB sensitivity to parton distribution functions, we analyze the precision determination of Z-boson couplings to left-handed and right-handed u-quarks and d-quarks, and explore Beyond-Standard-Model contributions using the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework. …”
