The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method was widely used to simulate low density gas flows with large Knudsen numbers. However, DSMC encounters limitations in the regime of lower Knudsen numbers (Kn<0.1) [...]

Plants must quickly adapt to their surroundings due to their sessile nature. Their ability to adjustand thrive in diverse environmental conditions directly impacts their growth and development.This is especially critical for crop plants, where quantity and quality are vital to secure properglobal nutrition.

The studies of polaronic centers in a homologous series of scheelite-type compounds AWO$_4$ (A =Ca, Sr, Ba) were performed using the W L$_3$-edge and Sr K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy combined with the reverse Monte Carlo simulations, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and first-principles calculations. Protonated scheelites H$_x$AWO$_4$ were produced using acid electrolytes in a one-step route at ambient conditions. [...]

Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) are pivotal specificity determinants in the ubiquitin system by selecting substrates and decorating them with distinct ubiquitin signals. However, structure determination of the underlying, specific E3-substrate complexes has proven challenging owing to their transient nature. [...]

Infectious diseases are a significant cause of death, and recent studies estimate that common bacterial infectious diseases were responsible for 13.6% of all global deaths in 2019. Among the most significant bacterial pathogens is Staphylococcus aureus, accounting for more than 1.1 million deaths worldwide in 2019. [...]

A search for a heavy CP-odd Higgs boson, A, decaying into a Z boson and a heavy CP-even Higgs boson, H, is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 dataset of pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{−1}$ [...]

This paper reports cross-section measurements of $ZZ$ production in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The data were collected by the ATLAS detector in 2022, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 29 fb$^{-1}$. [...]

A combination of searches for resonant Higgs boson pair production is presented, using up to 139 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The combination includes searches performed in three decay channels: $b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$, $bb\tau^+\tau^-$ and $bb\gamma\gamma$. [...]

This paper presents a study of Higgs boson production in association with a vector boson (V = W or Z) in the fully hadronic $qqbb$ final state using data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$. The vector bosons and Higgs bosons are each reconstructed as large-radius jets and tagged using jet substructure techniques. [...]

Ni-based superalloy 718 fabricated via arc plasma direct energy deposition (IN718 AP-DED) exhibit a limitedresponse to heat treatment due to its coarse primary microstructure and interdendritic segregation, which mayprevent its use in high-integrity applications. Thus, dedicated heat treatments for IN718 AP-DED must possess ahomogenization temperature as high as possible to significantly dissolve the eutectics and increase the γ′′-formerelements in solid-solution.
