I formulate in a colour-friendly way the FKS method for the computation of QCD cross sections at the next-to-leading order accuracy. This is achieved through the definition of subtraction terms for squared matrix elements, constructed with single colour-dressed or pairs of colour-ordered amplitudes. The latter approach relies on the use of colour f...

This contribution reports an ichnological study of the well-exposed strata belonging to the Chefar El Ahmar Formation, located in the Saoura Valley (Ougarta Range, Northwestern Algerian Sahara). This unit consists mainly of irregularly alternating shale and limestone with some intercalated sandstone. The data reflect hemipelagic to pelagic carbonat...

The production of pineapple, one of the most economically important tropical fruits globally, is increasingly being threatened by biotic and abiotic factors. Germplasm conservation of pineapple is essential for sustaining breeding programs, and in this regard, cryopreservation is thought to be the best long-term storage option. This short communica...

The self-couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons are probed at hadron colliders through the production of a massive gauge boson and a photon. To extend the theoretical description of this type of final states towards next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD, we derive the two-loop QCD corrections to the helicity amplitudes describing the produ...

We report on large-scale Wang-Landau Monte Carlo simulations of the critical behavior of two spin models in two- (2d) and three-dimensions (3d), namely the 2d random-bond Ising model and the pure 3d Blume-Capel model at zero crystal-field coupling. The numerical data we obtain and the relevant finite-size scaling analysis provide clear answers rega...

We investigate the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear elliptic operators with C∞–coefficients at a regular set Ω⊂ℝn. The Cauchy data are given at a manifold Γ⊂∂Ω and our goal is to reconstruct the trace of the H1(Ω) solution of a nonlinear elliptic equation at ∂Ω/Γ. We propose two iterative methods based on the segmenting Mann iteration applie...

The preparation in thin film form of the known icosahedral phase in Ti-Ni-Zr bulk alloys has been investigated as a function of substrate temperature. Films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition on sapphire substrates at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 350 °C. Morphological and structural modifications have been followed by grazin...

Cooling of electronic devices is one of the critical challenges that the electronics industry is facing towards sustainable development. Aiming at lowering the surface temperature of the heat sink to limit thermally induced deformations, corrugated channels and nanofluids are employed to improve the thermal and hydraulic performances of a heat sink...

Teramnus labialis (L.f.) Spreng is a legume that plays an important role in mixed agroecosystems, due to its use as animal feed and its role in restoring soil nitrogen levels. However, its wide-scale use in agriculture and revegetation efforts is limited due to its physically dormant seeds. In our previous study on the effects of seed cryopreservat...

Design of video encoders involves implementation of fast mode decision (FMD) algorithm to reduce computation complexity while maintaining the performance of the coding. Although H.264/scalable video coding (SVC) achieves high scalability and coding efficiency, it also has high complexity in implementing its exhaustive computation. In this paper, a ...
