Universal mass equation for equal-quantum excited-states sets II
We extend our recent study of the Universal Mass Equation for equal-quantum excited-states sets reported by Roper and Strakovsky (Eur Phys J A 61:102, 2025). The masses of twelve baryon sets and sixteen meson sets, with only two equal-quantum excited states in each set, using Breit-Wigner PDG2024 masses and their uncertainties at fixed J P for baryons and J PC for mesons, are fitted by a simple one-parameter logarithmic function, M n = α Ln(n) + M 1 , where n is the level of radial excitation. Two accurate masses that start a set are used to calculate four higher masses in the set accurately. It is noted that α values for $b\bar{b}$ equal-quantum excited-states sets accurately lie on a straight line, whose line parameters can be used to calculate α and predict higher mass states for $b\bar{b}$ sets that have only one known member.

Iron Carbonyl Complexes of [2.2.2]Hericene as a Rigid Tris(1,3-diene) Ligand
Hericene is an unusual hexaolefin consisting of three 1,3-diene units located on a rigid bicyclo [2.2.2]octane framework that restricts the geometrical relationships of metal atoms bonded to these olefinic units. In order to explore possible effects of this rigidity limiting metal–metal interaction in polynuclear derivatives possibly stabilizing coordinatively unsaturated species, the structures and energetics of the hericene iron carbonyl complexes (hericene)Fem(CO)n (m = 1, n = 3; m = 2, n = 6, 5; m = 3, n = 9, 8) have been investigated by density functional theory. The lowest-energy (hericene)Fem(CO)3m (m = 1, 2, 3) structures have the cavities of the hericene ligand filled with a single Fe(CO)3 moiety bonded to a 1,3-diolefin unit. Such species have been synthesized by the reaction of Fe2(CO)9 with hericene. For the (hericene)Fe2(CO)5 system, the lowest energy structures are singlet structures with an Fe(CO)3 unit bonded to a 1,3-diene unit in one hericene cavity and an Fe(CO)2 unit in another hericene cavity bonded to three C=C double bonds from two 1,3-diene units. Higher energy (hericene)Fe2(CO)5 structures include a structure in which a single hericene cavity contains a Fe2(CO)4(µ-CO) moiety with each iron atom bonded to a 1,3-diene unit. In addition, both singlet and triplet (hericene)Fe2(CO)5 structures are found in which an Fe(CO)3 moiety and an Fe(CO)2 moiety located in separate hericene cavities are each bonded to a 1,3-diene unit. The lowest-energy (hericene)Fe3(CO)8 structures have two hericene cavities containing Fe(CO)3 moieties fully bonded to 1,3-diene units and a third hericene cavity containing an Fe(CO)2 moiety fully bonded to a 1,3-diene unit.

Ferroelectric epitaxial Al(Sc/B)N/Mo/SiC heterostructures for high operating temperature devices
Advances in wurtzite nitride ferroelectrics of Al 1-x M x N ( M = Sc or B) have led to novel capabilities, which must be integrated into existing fabrication processes. In the case of electronics operating > 200°C, a movement toward SiC-based platforms enables better performance over conventional Si, primarily due to the higher bandgap and lower intrinsic carrier concentration of SiC. Hence, the challenge is to develop a deposition process to integrate Al 1-x M x M x N ferroelectrics with elevated temperature-compatible materials for high temperature electronics such as the non-volatile memory component. We demonstrate epitaxial Al M N/Mo/SiC heterostructures, which provides both the crystalline and surface features that promote high-quality ferroelectric nitride film growth. Omega scans of the Mo (110) reflection exhibit a full width at half max of < 0.02° (40 arc sec) and the (0002) peak of the subsequently grown nitride film had a value of 1.1° for 160 nm thick Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N and 1.3° for 400 nm thick Al 0.94 B 0.06 N. The crystallographic relationships found between the Al M N, Mo, and SiC layers indicate an advancement in sputter deposition of epitaxial films. Ferroelectric switching is also shown at 400 °C in both samples via polarization-electric field hysteresis and pulsed measurements, which exhibited P r values >100 μC cm -2 and E c between 3 and 4 M V cm -1 , despite a large presence of oxygen in both Al M N films ranging between 4 and 5 at.%, revealed by compositional analysis. This study demonstrates the process for synthesizing high-crystal quality ferroelectric nitride films, which can be used in extremely high temperature applications.

Method for separating single-wall carbon nanotubes and compositions thereof
The invention relates to a process for sorting and separating a mixture of (n, m) type single-wall carbon nanotubes according to (n, m) type. A mixture of (n, m) type single-wall carbon nanotubes is suspended such that the single-wall carbon nanotubes are individually dispersed. The nanotube suspension can be done in a surfactant-water solution and the surfactant surrounding the nanotubes keeps the nanotube isolated and from aggregating with other nanotubes. The nanotube suspension is acidified to protonate a fraction of the nanotubes. An electric field is applied and the protonated nanotubes migrate in the electric fields at different rates dependent on their (n, m) type. Fractions of nanotubes are collected at different fractionation times. The process of protonation, applying an electric field, and fractionation is repeated at increasingly higher pH to separated the (n, m) nanotube mixture into individual (n, m) nanotube fractions. The separation enables new electronic devices requiring selected (n, m) nanotube types.

PAAV Concept Document
The Pathfinding for Airspace with Autonomous Vehicles (PAAV) Concept Document, version 1.0, lays out the key challenges and potential solutions for the use of uncrewed aircraft (UA) technology for future regional air cargo operations. The challenges and solutions described in this document were informed by communications with the UA industry community (e.g., RTCA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and regional air cargo business operators), as well as the PAAV team’s research activities during the last two years including four tabletop exercises, a human-in-the-loop simulation study, a numerical simulation study, a functional allocation study, and flight data analysis (Appendix A). This document first describes the expected operational context of PAAV (Section 2), such as the flight mission, baseline UAS components, nominal operations, m:N operations (i.e., "m" remote pilots per "N" aircraft), and off-nominal operations. This context sets the scope for the PAAV concept development work. PAAV concept development assumes that UA operations will be increasingly autonomous. Thus, near- and far-term assumptions are defined (Section 3). PAAV identified seven key challenges for UA operations (Section 4): - Flight route planning - Separation and flow management - Traffic pattern integration - Contingency management - Taxi, takeoff, and landing - m:N operations - Communications operations The following 13 potential solutions to these challenges are then described (Section 5): - Scalable communications architecture - Data link - Designated UAS corridors - Crew planning for m:N operations - Flight route optimization - Traffic load-level control - Trajectory solutions with data link - Automated hazard avoidance for m:N operations - Traffic pattern integration (TPI) tool - Standard lost command and control (C2) link (LC2L) procedures - Automated hazard avoidance under LC2L - Auto-taxi, auto-takeoff, and auto-land - Ground control station (GCS) user interface for m:N operations The document attempts to link each of these solutions to one or more of the challenge areas. Novel solutions involving numerous automation technologies are needed to mitigate traffic and airspace management challenges, especially for realizing m:N operations and ensuring safety under LC2L conditions. The purpose of this document is to help understand alternatives and tradeoffs among potential solutions and provide a foundation for a cohesive PAAV concept that will be described and refined in subsequent concept versions.

Determining Exercise Strength Requirements for Astronaut Critical Mission Tasks: Reaching Under G-Load
The critical mission tasks assessments effort seeks to determine the physical performance requirements that astronauts must meet in order to safely and successfully accomplish lunar exploration missions. These assessments will determine astronaut preflight strength, fitness, and flexibility requirements, and the extent to which exercise and other countermeasures must prevent the physical deconditioning associated with prolonged weightlessness. The purpose is to determine the flexibility and strength that crewmembers must possess in order to reach Crew Exploration Vehicle controls during maneuvers that result in sustained acceleration levels ranging from 3.7G to 7.8G. An industry standard multibody dynamics application was used to create human models representing a 5th percentile female, a 50th percentile male, and a 95th percentile male. The additional mass of a space suit sleeve was added to the reaching arm to account for the influence of the suit mass on the reaching effort. The human model was merged with computer models of a pilot seat and control panel for the Crew Exploration Vehicle. Three dimensional paths were created that guided the human models hand from a starting position alongside its thigh to three control targets: a joystick, a keyboard, and an overhead switch panel. The reaching motion to each target was repeated under four vehicle acceleration conditions: nominal ascent (3.7G), two ascent aborts (5.5G and 7.8G) and lunar reentry (4.6G). Elbow and shoulder joint angular excursions were analyzed to assess range of motion requirements. Mean and peak elbow and shoulder joint torques were determined and converted to equivalent resistive exercise loads to assess strength requirements. Angular excursions for the 50th and 95th percentile male models remained within joint range of motion limits. For the 5th percentile female, both the elbow and the shoulder exceeded range of motion limits during the overhead reach. Elbow joint torques ranged from 10 N-m (nominal ascent) to 60 N-m (ascent abort). Shoulder joint torques ranged from 65 N-m (nominal ascent) to 280 N-m (ascent abort). Maximal equivalent exercise loads reached 30 lb in tricep extension, 9 lb in bicep curl, 110 lb in unilateral pullover and unilateral bench press for nominal conditions (lunar reentry), and 188 lb in unilateral pullover and unilateral bench press. The location of the pilot seat was found to be inadequately located to allow a 5th percentile female to reach the switches on the overhead panel. Elbow strength requirements were found to be well within population norms. Shoulder strength was found to be a limiting factor. Reaching under nominal ascent and lunar reentry conditions was found to require near maximal shoulder strength. Reaching under ascent abort conditions requires shoulder strength well beyond population norms. Pilot seats must adjust to accomodate a 5th percentile female. Exercise countermeasures must maintain maximal pullover and bench press strength to allow pilots to reach and operate controls during lunar reentry. Reaching will not be possible during ascent abort conditions. Flight controls should be built into armrests or flight control must be accomplished by autonomous systems during acceleration exceeding 4.6G.

Role of Bottlebrush Additives on the Structure of Block Copolymers in the Bulk and Thin Films
Blending block copolymers (BCP) with additives is a useful approach for controlling BCP morphology and properties. In athermal systems, blends of BCPs with polymer additives having very high molecular (M n ) mass generally result in macrophase separation. Bottlebrush polymers, which consist of a linear backbone and grafted side chains, present an interesting alternative where the overall M n of the system can be very large but the low M n side chains may drive miscibility with the BCP. Here, in this study, a bottlebrush with a polynorbornene backbone and polystyrene (PS) side chains is blended with PS-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) of varying M n , and the resulting morphologies are examined in both the bulk and thin films. Two different M n of PS-b-PMMA were used in the bulk study, and the analysis of small-angle X-ray scattering data shows that the blends were miscible and lamellar at all concentrations. This deviates from reference series of both low and high M n linear polymer additives, which either showed morphological transitions from lamellae to cylinders (low M n ) or were immiscible at all mass fractions studied (high M n ). The relative molecular mass of the side chain (N SC ) and the corresponding component in the BCP (N A ) dictate the distribution of the bottlebrush throughout the BCP, analogous to BCP/linear blends or grafted nanoparticles in a homopolymer matrix. The studies on thin films show a thickness dependence for bottlebrush mass fractions at or above 0.17, a behavior which may be driven by conformational changes of the bottlebrush upon confinement.

RTCA Special Committee 228 Working Group (DAA) 1
The Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) is an American organization comprised of government, industry, and academic stakeholders in aviation for the purpose of providing technical guidance to regulatory authorities. In late 2022, RTCA Special Committee 228 (Minimum Performance Standards for Unmanned Aircraft Systems) decided to form a working group to study a burgeoning multi-vehicle, supervisory control paradigm colloquially known as "m:N" (vocalized as "em-to-en"). Within the m:N control paradigm, multiple aircraft (N) are collaboratively managed by a body of operators/pilots (m). This presentation describes the scope of the m:N working group and its goal of producing an Operational Service and Environment Definition (OSED) for m:N operations.

One-dimensional multispecies magnetohydrodynamic models of the ramside ionosphere of Titan
The interaction of the Saturnian magnetosphere with the ionosphere of Titan has much in common with the solar wind interaction with nonmagnetic bodies in general. A one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model was developed, for radial distances of 1.3 to 2 Titan radii (R(sub T)), to study the dynamics of H2CN(+), C(sub n) H(sub m) (+) (n, m greater than z), C2H5(+), and CH5(+), in the ramside ionosphere of Titan. For the case of a dayside ramside ionosphere (solar zenith angle of 60 degs) we found that the external magnetospheric plasma interacting with Titan's ionosphere produced a very broad region of ionospheric magnetic field whose peak field strength was approximately 26 nT. The ionosphere was magnetized well below the ionospheric peak, allowing ionizing Saturnian magnetospheric electrons access to this region. The sources of ionization and the electron temperature profiles incorporated into the model depend on the relative locations of Titan, Saturn, and the Sun. The calculated electron and ion density profiles as well as the magnetic field profile also depend on the relative positions of Titan, Saturn, and the Sun.

Pressure structure of solar coronal loops
The steady state pressure structure of a coronal loop is discussed in terms of the MHD global invariants of an incompressible plasma. The steady state is represented by the superposition of two Chandrasekhar-Kendall functions corresponding to (n=m=0) and (n=m=1) modes. The relative contribution of the two modes (epsilon) is found to depend on the surface pressure of the coronal loop which is also the pressure of the external medium. The mixed mode state does not exist for high values of the external pressure because epsilon becomes complex.

A Measurement of the Neutron Electromagnetic Form Factor Ratio from a Rosenbluth Technique with Simultaneous Detection of Neutrons and Protons
The internal structure of protons and neutrons provides insight into both the dynamical behavior of the constitute quarks and gluons, and emergent properties of the nucleons (such as mass, spin, and electromagnetic distributions). Elastic electron-nucleon scattering can probe the elastic electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon. The electric and magnetic form factors, respectively, encode information about the internal charge and magnetization distributions within the nucleon. Precision data for these form factors, over a broad range of the four-momentum transfer squared, Q^2, can benchmark theoretical models describing the strong interaction of nuclear physics. The Super BigBite Spectrometer (SBS) program in Hall A at Jefferson Lab, is a series of high-precision experiments which seek to significantly extend the Q^2 reach of previous data for the nucleon electromagnetic form factors. The first two experiments of this program are known as G_M^n and the neutron Two Photon Exchange (nTPE) and the data were collected from October 2021 to February 2022. Both experiments were conducted with the simultaneous measurement of D(e,e'n) and D(e,e'p) reactions for quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering. The scattered electrons were detected in the BigBite Spectrometer, which features multiple large-acceptance Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors. The Super BigBite Spectrometer provided simultaneous detection of scattered nucleons, and utilized a large acceptance dipole magnet and Hadron Calorimeter (HCal). The G_M^n experiment provides precision measurements of the neutron magnetic form factor, via the ratio method, over a Q^2 range of 3.0 to 13.5 (GeV/c)2. From this data analysis, preliminary values for G_M^n/µ_n G_D are extracted. For Q^2=4.48 (GeV/c)2 we find G_M^n/µ_n G_D=0.9546±0.0132 and for Q^2=4.476 (GeV/c)2 we find G_M^n/µ_n G_D=0.9563±0.0110. These preliminary G_M^n/µ_n G_D values are more precise than existing world data in this Q^2 regime and are consistent with the most recent parameterization of the G_M^n/µ_n G_D world data. The nTPE experiment provides a first measurement of the neutron Rosenbluth Slope and seeks to quantify the two-photon exchange(TPE) contribution to elastic electron-neutron scattering at a fixed Q^2=4.5 (GeV/c)2 with two different beam energies and scattering angle values. For data of the proton form factor ratio, µ_p G_E^p/G_M^p, significant discrepancies exist between values obtained from Rosenbluth Separation and polarization transfer measurement, particularly at large Q^2, and TPE contributions are thought to resolve this discrepancy. The impacts of TPE contributions have not yet been experimentally established for the neutron. From the data analysis presented in this dissertation, a preliminary result for the neutron Rosenbluth Slope is found as S^n=(G_E^n )^2/t_n (G_M^n )^2=0.0916±0.0476 for Q^2=4.48 (GeV/c)2. This value of the neutron Rosenbluth Slope is consistent with the world data extrapolation and the absence of large TPE corrections.

Ring Size Effects on the Structures of Sandwich Compounds with a Stoichiometry of C 12 H 12 M (M = Ti–Ni)
Ring size effects on geometries and electronic structures were investigated for the (C n H n )M(C m H m ) (n = 4, 5, or 6; m = 8, 7, or 6; m + n = 12; M = Ti–Ni) systems using density functional theory. The lowest-energy C 12 H 12 M structures for the early transition metals titanium, vanadium, and chromium are the experimentally known singlet (η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Ti(η 7 -C 7 H 7 ), doublet (η 5 -C 5 H 5 )V(η 7 -C 7 H 7 ), and singlet (η 6 -C 6 H 6 ) 2 Cr, respectively. The likewise experimentally known singlet (η 6 -C 6 H 6 ) 2 Ti, doublet (η 6 -C 6 H 6 ) 2 V, and singlet (η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Cr(η 7 -C 7 H 7 ) are the secondlowest- energy structures with only a small energy difference between the two vanadium structures. For the later transition metals, dibenzenemetal complexes are the lowest-energy C 12 H 12 M species with two fully bonded hexahapto benzene rings in the lowest-energy manganese and iron derivatives and one hexahapto and one dihapto benzene ring in the lowest-energy cobalt and nickel derivatives. The lowest-energy (C 5 H 5 )M(C 7 H 7 ) structures for the later transition metals iron, cobalt, and nickel have partially bonded nonplanar C 7 H 7 rings with one or two uncomplexed C=C bonds. The (C 4 H 4 )M(C 8 H 8 ) (M = Ti–Ni) structures with the metal sandwiched between four- and eight-membered rings were found to be much higher in energy than their (C 5 H 5 )M(C 7 H 7 ) and (C 6 H 6 ) 2 M isomers.

Exploring baryon resonances with transition generalized parton distributions: status and perspectives
QCD gives rise to a rich spectrum of excited baryon states. Understanding their internal structure is important for many areas of nuclear physics, such as nuclear forces, dense matter, and neutrino-nucleus interactions. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are an established tool for characterizing the QCD structure of the ground-state nucleon. They are used to create 3D tomographic images of the quark/gluon structure and quantify the mechanical properties such as the distribution of mass, angular momentum, and forces in the system. Transition GPDs extend these concepts to N → N* transitions and can be used to characterize the 3D structure and mechanical properties of baryon resonances. They can be probed in high-momentum-transfer exclusive electroproduction processes with resonance transitions e + N → e' + M + N*, such as deeply-virtual Compton scattering (M = γ) or meson production (M = π, K, etc.), and in related photon/hadron-induced processes. This White Paper describes a research program aiming to explore baryon resonance structure with transition GPDs. This includes the properties and interpretation of the transition GPDs, theoretical methods for structures and processes, first experimental results from JLab 12 GeV, future measurements with existing and planned facilities (JLab detector and energy upgrades, COMPASS/AMBER, EIC, EicC, J-PARC, LHC ultraperipheral collisions), and the theoretical and experimental developments needed to realize this program.

Programmable pipelined image processor
A pipelined image processor selectively interconnects modules in a column of a two-dimensional array to modules of the next column of the array of modules 1,1 through M,N, where M is the number of modules in one dimension and N is the number of modules in the other direction. Each module includes two input selectors for A and B inputs, two convolvers, a binary function operator, a neighborhood comparison operator which produces an A output and an output selector which may select as a B output the output of any one of the components in the module, including the A output of the neighborhood comparison operator. Each module may be connected to as many as eight modules in the next column, preferably with the majority always in a different row that is up (or down) in the array for a generally spiral data path around the torus thus formed. The binary function operator is implemented as a look-up table addressed by the most significant 8 bits of each 12-bit argument. The table output includes a function value and the slopes for interpolation of the two arguments by multiplying the 4 least significant bits in multipliers and adding the products to the function value through adders.

Dynamic analysis of astronaut motions in microgravity: Applications for Extravehicular Activity (EVA)
Simulations of astronaut motions during extravehicular activity (EVA) tasks were performed using computational multibody dynamics methods. The application of computational dynamic simulation to EVA was prompted by the realization that physical microgravity simulators have inherent limitations: viscosity in neutral buoyancy tanks; friction in air bearing floors; short duration for parabolic aircraft; and inertia and friction in suspension mechanisms. These limitations can mask critical dynamic effects that later cause problems during actual EVA's performed in space. Methods of formulating dynamic equations of motion for multibody systems are discussed with emphasis on Kane's method, which forms the basis of the simulations presented herein. Formulation of the equations of motion for a two degree of freedom arm is presented as an explicit example. The four basic steps in creating the computational simulations were: system description, in which the geometry, mass properties, and interconnection of system bodies are input to the computer; equation formulation based on the system description; inverse kinematics, in which the angles, velocities, and accelerations of joints are calculated for prescribed motion of the endpoint (hand) of the arm; and inverse dynamics, in which joint torques are calculated for a prescribed motion. A graphical animation and data plotting program, EVADS (EVA Dynamics Simulation), was developed and used to analyze the results of the simulations that were performed on a Silicon Graphics Indigo2 computer. EVA tasks involving manipulation of the Spartan 204 free flying astronomy payload, as performed during Space Shuttle mission STS-63 (February 1995), served as the subject for two dynamic simulations. An EVA crewmember was modeled as a seven segment system with an eighth segment representing the massive payload attached to the hand. For both simulations, the initial configuration of the lower body (trunk, upper leg, and lower leg) was a neutral microgravity posture. In the first simulation, the payload was manipulated around a circular trajectory of 0.15 m radius in 10 seconds. It was found that the wrist joint theoretically exceeded its ulnal deviation limit by as much as 49. 8 deg and was required to exert torques as high as 26 N-m to accomplish the task, well in excess of the wrist physiological limit of 12 N-m. The largest torque in the first simulation, 52 N-m, occurred in the ankle joint. To avoid these problems, the second simulation placed the arm in a more comfortable initial position and the radius and speed of the circular trajectory were reduced by half. As a result, the joint angles and torques were reduced to values well within their physiological limits. In particular, the maximum wrist torque for the second simulation was only 3 N-m and the maximum ankle torque was only 6 N-m.

Thin-Film Stabilization and Magnetism of η -Carbide-Type Iron Nitrides
Transition-metal nitrides in ..eta..-carbide-type structures exhibit unusual bonding motifs and proximity to magnetic instabilities. Yet they remain unexplored in thin-film form due to the difficulty of stabilizing nitrogen-poor ternaries among competing phases. Here, we report the thin-film synthesis and phase-stability mapping of the ..eta..-nitride systems Fe-W-N and Fe-Mo-N. Amorphous Fe-M-N (M = W, Mo) combinatorial libraries deposited by reactive cosputtering crystallize upon rapid thermal annealing, enabling systematic identification of synthesis windows as a function of composition and annealing temperature. Using laboratory powder X-ray diffraction and synchrotron grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, we establish that Fe 3 Mo 3 N-based ..eta..-carbide phases form over a substantially broader compositional and thermal range than W-based compositions, where ..eta.. structures are stabilized only when the films are Fe-rich. These trends are rationalized using mixed chemical-potential vs composition phase diagrams that capture the narrow nitrogen chemical-potential stability of ..eta..-nitrides. Magnetic measurements reveal that ferromagnetism is induced in Fe-rich Fe 3.54 Mo 2.46 N with a small exchange-bias-like response that is absent in Fe 3 W 3 N-based compositions, highlighting the sensitivity of magnetic behavior to modest deviations from stoichiometry. This work establishes practical thin-film synthesis routes for ..eta..-nitride materials and demonstrates how composition can be tuned to access emergent magnetic phenomena in these complex nitrides.
