Electrostatic dust removal using adsorbed moisture–assisted charge induction for sustainable operation of solar panels by Panat, Sreedath, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…Here, we present a waterless approach for dust removal from solar panels using electrostatic induction. We find that dust particles, despite primarily consisting of insulating silica, can be electrostatically repelled from electrodes due to charge induction assisted by adsorbed moisture. …”

The new physics case for beam-dump experiments with accelerated muon beams by Cesarotti, Cari, Gambhir, Rikab

“…We demonstrate the utility of muon beam-dump experiments for new physics searches at energies from 10 GeV to 5 TeV. We find that, even at low energies like those accessible at staging or demonstrator facilities, it is possible to probe new regions of parameter space for a variety of generic BSM models, including muonphilic, leptophilic, Lμ − Lτ, and dark photon scenarios. …”

Subregion independence in gravity by Folkestad, Åsmund

“…In this paper, we give a natural definition of subsystem independence and gravitational dressing of perturbations in classical gravity. We find that extremal surfaces, non-perturbative lumps of matter, and generic trapped surfaces are structures that enable dressing and subregion independence. …”

Sororin actively maintains sister chromatid cohesion by Ladurner, Rene, Kreidl, Emanuel, Ivanov, Miroslav P., Ekker, Heinz, Idarraga‐Amado, Maria H., Busslinger, Georg A., Wutz, Gordana, Cisneros, David A., Peters, Jan‐Michael

“…We further show that the acetyltransferases ESCO1 and ESCO2 are essential for stabilizing cohesin on chromatin, that their only function in this process is to acetylate cohesin's SMC3 subunit, and that DNA replication is also required for stable cohesin–chromatin interactions. Unexpectedly, we find that sororin interacts dynamically with the cohesin complexes it stabilizes. …”

Impinging jet mixers: A review of their mixing characteristics, performance considerations, and applications by Devos, Cedric, Mukherjee, Saikat, Inguva, Pavan, Singh, Shalini, Wei, Yi, Mondal, Sandip, Yu, Huiwen, Barbastathis, George, Stelzer, Torsten, Braatz, Richard D, Myerson, Allan S

“…Comprising of two co‐linear jets flowing in opposite directions and colliding with each other within a small (usually confined) volume, these devices effectively intensify various mixing‐controlled processes in a reproducible manner. Impinging jet mixers find extensive use in both the chemical and pharmaceutical industry for a plethora of applications, such as reaction injection molding and precipitation processes. …”

A hierarchical cooperation formation model for downlink data transmission in mobile infostation networks by Li, Yifan, Wang, Ping, Niyato, Dusit, Han, Zhu

“…Focusing on such a network scenario, we find that the cooperation among infostations and mobile users can improve the network performance in term of the expected delay of content distribution experienced by the users. …”

Heegaard floer correction terms and dedekind-rademacher sums by Jabuka, Stanislav, Robins, Sinai, Wang, Xinli

“…A consequence of our result is that the Casson–Walker invariant of a lens space equals the average of its Heegaard Floer correction terms. Additionally, we find an obstruction for the equality and equality with opposite sign, of two correction terms of the same lens space. …”
