The production cross sections of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13.6 TeV, using a data sample collected in 2022 by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 37.4 fb⁻¹. The measurement is performed&...

A search is conducted for standard model Higgs bosons with large transverse momentum (𝑝_T) decaying to bottom quark pairs and produced in association with a hadronically decaying W or Z boson at the LHC. The result is based on a dataset of proton-proton ...

A search for exotic Higgs boson decays H → 𝒜𝒜, with 𝒜 → γγ is presented, using events with a semi-merged topology. One of the hypothetical particles, 𝒜, is assumed to decay promptly into a semi-merged diphoton system reconstructed as a single photon-like object, while ...

A first search at the LHC for a new heavy resonance decaying to a top quark and a neutral scalar boson 𝜙 in the fully hadronic final state is presented, where the 𝜙 boson is identified by its decay into a bottom quark-antiquark pair. The search is focused ...

Merged multisatellite precipitation datasets (MMPDs) combine the advantages of individual satellite precipitation products (SPPs), have a tendency to reduce uncertainties, and provide higher potentials to hydrological applications. This study applied a dynamic clustered Bayesian model averaging (DCBA) algorithm...

Drawing on the theory of gerotranscendence, this research aimed to gain a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the age-loneliness relationship and underlying factors. Data from the BBC Loneliness Experiment (⁢𝑛 = 6875, 67.80% female, M_age = 49.26, Range_age&#x...

Aim: To estimate the initial costs of implementing the Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (ESIC) solutions and therefore provide funders with a costed menu of options for strengthening global evidence synthesis systems. Background: ESIC was established to enhance ...

Patents constitute the world's largest repository of codified technical knowledge, yet their length, legal terminology, and linguistic ambiguity have limited the effectiveness of traditional text mining and keyword-based retrieval. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer new capabilities for processing this...

The inherent anisotropy generated by interlayer defects and weak interfaces between printed filaments remains a critical challenge for the structural application of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). This study presents a physicochemical strategy to alleviate anisotropy in 3D printed white cementitious ...
