Event Patterns Extracted from Transverse Momentum and Rapidity Spectra of Z Bosons and Quarkonium States Produced in pp and Pb-Pb Collisions at LHC by Ya-Hui Chen, Fu-Hu Liu, Roy A. Lacey

“…Transverse momentum (pT) and rapidity (y) spectra of Z bosons and quarkonium states (some charmonium cc¯ mesons such as J/ψ and ψ(2S) and some bottomonium bb¯ mesons such as Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S)) produced in proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC) are uniformly described by a hybrid model of two-component Erlang distribution for pT spectrum and two-component Gaussian distribution for y spectrum. …”

Experimental Evaluation of the Influence of Early Disturbance on the Performance of Basalt Fiber Concrete by Zhe Huang, Yan Li, Yichen Liu, Fengjie Cai, Tianyu Liang

“…When the condensation and hardening processes are disturbed, damage is caused inside the concrete, which is greater with the increase in the condensation degree until the penetration resistance reaches about 15 MPa, which then is more and more reduced. …”

The Application of Equivalent Age Concept to Sand Concrete Compared to Ordinary Concrete by Nabil Bella, Ilham Aguida Bella, Aissa Asroun

“…The error was due to large superplasticizer dosage, which modified the hardening of sand concrete; the most influent parameter in Arrhenius law is apparent energy activation, to search for the value of the activation energy which gives the best simulation; a superposition is used of two curves of different temperature and with superplasticizer dosage 4% and several values of activation energy, 15, 20, 25, and 30 × 10 kcal. …”

Justification of fracture criteria for salt rocks by Alexander Baryakh, Andrey Tsayukov

An Appraisal of the Chronology Problem in the “Rise of the West” Question by Gürsu Galip Gürsakal, Sezgin Kaya

Entanglement enabled intensity interferometry in ultrarelativistic ultraperipheral nuclear collisions by James Daniel Brandenburg, Haowu Duan, Zhoudunming Tu, Raju Venugopalan, Zhangbu Xu

“…We apply this framework to demonstrate that the spatial distributions of color singlet (pomeron) configurations in nuclei are sensitive to measurements of exclusive resonant decays of ρ mesons into π^{±} pairs in ultrarelativistic ultraperipheral nuclear collisions (UPCs) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider. A preliminary analysis suggests that the model-independent extraction of pomeron distributions will require careful treatment of the interplay of E^{2}I^{2} in the vector meson exclusive decay with the incoherent cross section for exclusive vector meson production. …”
