Additionally, We simulated the Half-Value Layer (HVL) and spatial distribution of...
Based on Mean Field Theory, Exact Recursion Relations, and Monte Carlo Simulations, we have studied phase diagrams and magnetic properties of the mixed system of Ising spin-7/2 and spin-1/2 coupled ferrimagnetically. The system consists of two interpenetrating face-centered cubic sublattices of each spin type. A comparative analysis of the obtained results by these methods has been developed....
This talk presents a brief overview of the cosmological implications of evolving the cosmological and gravitational 'constants' with time. We will show that such considerations might alleviate the so-called cosmological constant and coincidence problems and open potential avenues for the resolution of the dark energy dilemma.
In the centre of mass frame, we have investigated the process of Higgs-strahlung production in association with a pair of fermions, $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow f\bar{f} H$, at the leading order in the presence of an intense electromagnetic field with circular polarization. Our analytical calculations are based on the Narrow Width Approximation (NWA), which is valid in the leading order as...
In this work, we study the thermodynamic features of a non-linear magnetic-charged AdS black hole surrounded by quintessence, in the background of perfect fluid dark matter(PFDM). After having constructed the corresponding metric, we put out the mass and the temperature of the black hole, in order to get its entropy. Subsequently, we find the expression of the pressure which leads us to get...

1.Introduction
A battery is an electrochemical device which converts chemical energy in its active materials to electrical energy via electrochemical reactions (Jung et al., 2016). The temperature, current, and voltage of the battery need to be monitored and used to determine the state of charge and state of health of the battery used in the car in real time. The car starter motor usually...
As Africa develops, more Africans are living in populated areas, where atmospheric pollution reaches high levels and put their lives at risk. Exposure to air pollution can lead to a wide range of diseases, which includes headaches, stroke, lung cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory infections. More generally, chronic exposure can...

The enhanced characteristics of smartphones, such as high-resolution cameras, have made it simple to design a...
1 Introduction
A magnetic field has been popularly exploited in experiments to manipulate the magnetic properties of materials. The material's response under the external magnetic field can be quantified by magnetic susceptibility. In the computational approach, the magnetic susceptibility is evaluated in the limit of atomistic spin dynamics level, preventing studies on field-dependent...
Salt tolerance is an important constrain for Africa rice. Soil salinity is one of the major
constraints affecting rice production worldwide, especially in the northern part of
Senegal. Susceptibility or tolerance of rice plants to high salinity is a coordinated action
of multiple stress responsive genes, which also interacts with other components of
stress signal transduction pathways....
