1. Hint for a Minimal Interaction Length in e<SUP>+</SUP>e<SUP>-</SUP>â γγ Annihilation in Total Cross Section of Center-of-Mass Energies 55-207 GeV 

   Chen, Yutao; Liu, Minghui; Ulbricht, Juergen (2024)

   Advances in High Energy Physics

   The measurements of the total cross section of the e(+)e(-)->gamma gamma(gamma) reaction from the VENUS, TOPAS, OPAL, DELPHI, ALEPH, and L3 collaborations, collected between 1989 and 2003, are used to perform a chi(2) test to validate the current quantum electrodynamics (QED) theory and search for possible deviations with the direct contact term annihilation. By observing a deviation from the QED predictions on the total cross section of ...

2. The Swiss Primary Hypersomnolence and Narcolepsy Cohort Study: feasibility of long-term monitoring with Fitbit smartwatches in central disorders of hypersomnolence and extraction of digital biomarkers in narcolepsy 

   Gnarra, Oriella; van der Meer, Julia; Warncke, Jan D.; et al. (2024)

   Sleep

   The Swiss Primary Hypersomnolence and Narcolepsy Cohort Study (SPHYNCS) is a multicenter research initiative to identify new biomarkers in central disorders of hypersomnolence (CDH). Whereas narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is well characterized, other CDH disorders lack precise biomarkers. In SPHYNCS, we utilized Fitbit smartwatches to monitor physical activity, heart rate, and sleep parameters over 1 year. We examined the feasibility of long-term ...

3. Insights Into the Structure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Suture Zone, Adaatsag Ophiolite, and Tectonic Boundaries of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (Mongolia) From Electrical Resistivity Imaging and Seismic Velocity Models 

   Comeau, Matthew J.; Rigaud, Rafael; Batmagnai, Erdenechimeg; et al. (2024)

   Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth

   The Mongol-Okhotsk suture and the Adaatsag ophiolite belt are associated with the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk paleo-ocean and are located within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and Mongolia. The suture zone is flanked by volcanic-plutonic belts that host significant metallogenic zones, containing deposits of copper and gold. The tectonic evolution of this region is not fully understood and the lithospheric structure has been ...

4. A parametric study on pulse duplicator design and valve hemodynamics 

   Smid, Caroline C.; Pappas, Georgios A.; Falk, Volkmar; et al. (2024)

   Artificial Organs

   BackgroundIn vitro assessment is mandatory for artificial heart valve development. This study aims to investigate the effects of pulse duplicator features on valve responsiveness, conduct a sensitivity analysis across valve prosthesis types, and contribute on the development of versatile pulse duplicator systems able to perform reliable prosthetic aortic valve assessment under physiologic hemodynamic conditions.MethodsA reference pulse ...

5. Network Polymer Properties Engineered Through Polymer Backbone Dispersity and Structure 

   Raji, Ibrahim O.; Dodo, Obed J.; Saha, Nirob K.; et al. (2024)

   Angewandte Chemie. International Edition

   Dispersity (& ETH; or Mw/Mn) is an important parameter in material design and as such can significantly impact the properties of polymers. Here, polymer networks with independent control over the molecular weight and dispersity of the linear chains that form the material are developed. Using a RAFT polymerization approach, a library of polymers with dispersity ranging from 1.2-1.9 for backbone chain-length (DP) 100, and 1.4-3.1 for backbone ...
