Expansion of X-ray form factor for close shell using uncorrelated wave function

The atomic scattering factor has been studied for Be+ve, and B+2ve ions using the uncorrelated wave function (Hartree-Fock (HF)) for inter particle electronic shells. The physical importance of this factor appears in its relation to several important atomic properties as, the coherent scattering intensity, the total scattering intensity, the incoherent scattering function, the coherent scattering cross section, the total incoherent cross section, the nuclear magnetic shielding constant, the geometrical structure factor. Also there is one atomic properties the one particle radial density distribution function D(r)has been studied using the partitioning technique.

Virtuality Distributions and Pion Transition Form Factor

Using the example of hard exclusive transition process γ*γ → π 0 at the handbag level, we outline basics of a new approach to transverse momentum dependence in hard processes. In coordinate representation, matrix elements of operators (in the simplest case, bilocal O(0,z)) describing a hadron with momentum p, are functions of (pz) and z 2 parametrized through virtuality distribution amplitudes (VDA) Φ(x, σ), with x being Fourier-conjugate to (pz) and σ Laplace-conjugate to z 2 . For intervals with z + =0, we introduce the transverse momentum distribution amplitude (TMDA) Ψ(x, k_perp), and write it in terms of VDA Φ(x,σ). We propose models for soft VDAs/TMDAs, and use them for comparison of handbag results with experimental (BaBar and BELLE) data. We also discuss the generation of hard tails of TMDAs from initially soft forms.

Group VII ethylene response factors forming distinct regulatory loops mediate submergence responses

Group VII ethylene response factors (ERFVIIs), whose stability is oxygen concentration-dependent, play key roles in regulating hypoxia response genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa) during submergence. To understand the evolution of flooding tolerance in cereal crops, we evaluated whether Brachypodium distachyon ERFVII genes (BdERFVIIs) are related to submergence tolerance. We found that three BdERFVIIs, BdERF108, BdERF018, and BdERF961, form a feedback regulatory loop to mediate downstream responses. BdERF108 and BdERF018 activated the expression of BdERF961 and PHYTOGLOBIN 1 (PGB1), which promoted nitric oxide turnover and preserved ERFVII protein stability. The activation of PGB1 was subsequently counteracted by increased BdERF961 accumulation through negative feedback regulation. Interestingly, we found that OsERF67, the orthologue of BdERF961 in rice, activated PHYTOGLOBIN (OsHB2) expression and formed distinct regulatory loops during submergence. Overall, the divergent regulatory mechanisms exhibited by orthologs collectively offer perspectives for the development of submergence-tolerant crops.

Model-Independent Determination of Nuclear Weak Form Factors and Implications for Standard Model Precision Tests

We analyze the recoil corrections in superallowed beta decays of T = 1, J P = 0 + nuclei by fixing the mean square charged weak radius model independently using the data of multiple charge radii across the nuclear isotriplet. By comparing to model estimations, we argue that the existing theory uncertainty in the statistical rate function f might have been substantially underestimated. Here, we discuss the implications of our proposed strategy for precision tests of the standard model, including a potential alleviation of the first-row CKM unitarity deficit, and motivate new experiments for charge radii measurements.

Measurement of the axial and the strangeness magnetic form factor of the proton with a P2 backward angle setup

The P2 experiment at the future accelerator facility MESA in Mainz aims for a precise determination of the weak charge of the proton at low momentum transfer. The experimental method is a measurement of the parity violating asymmetry in elastic electron-proton scattering at forward angle. This asymmetry is dominated by the weak charge, but also the proton structure plays a role. Here we consider a back angle measurement, which is more sensitive to the proton structure, and present its possible implications on the main P2 measurement.

Downlight LED Lighting Form-Factor Assessment

This report provides information about the evaluation of a field installation of a one-for-one Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamp replacement that uses the existing fluorescent ballast. The evaluation was part of a study conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for the Green Proving Ground program (GPG). The evaluation includes field-collected energy data, light-level data, and occupant and system installer survey responses. The report also provides recommendations based on the data collected during this field evaluation as well as other research-based sources, for applying this technology to other locations.
