A Streamline-Based Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium Framework for Heat Transport in Subsurface Porous Media

This study introduces a streamline-based local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) framework for subsurface heat transport that decouples fluid advection from multidimensional conduction and interphase exchange, demonstrating through benchmarks and heterogeneous simulations that significant local temperature differences between fluid and rock can persist even when macroscopic thermal responses appear near equilibrium.

Slowly rotating white dwarfs in f(R,Lm, T) = R + α LmT gravity: moment of inertia, rotational mass shift, and quadrupole

This paper presents the first comprehensive framework for slowly rotating white dwarf models in f(R,Lm, T) = R + αLmT gravity, utilizing the Hartle-Thorne formalism to derive structure equations and numerically demonstrate that positive coupling constants increase the maximum mass beyond the Chandrasekhar limit while confirming the stability and calculating key rotational properties like moment of inertia and quadrupole moment.

Steady, Quasi-Periodic, and Chaotic Regimes of Natural Convection Around a Heated Cylinder in a Square Cavity

This numerical study of natural convection around a heated cylinder in a square cavity reveals that the flow transitions from a steady state to chaos via the Ruelle-Takens-Newhouse route as the Rayleigh number increases from 10410^4 to 5×1075 \times 10^7, while establishing a specific power-law correlation for the cylinder's Nusselt number and highlighting the dominant role of the top wall in heat transfer due to thermal stratification.

The Origin of Spin: From Euclidean Regular Polyhedra to Geometric Spheres

This paper proposes that elementary particle spin is not an intrinsic property but a geometric "torsion residue" arising from the projection of discrete regular polyhedra onto continuous spheres, where local defects of 1/3 accumulate to a global residue of 1/12 that, when mapped to the imaginary unit, explains spin-precession coupling and the geometric renormalization origin of perpetual quantum motion.

Effect of Cadmium Alloying on Structural, Optical and Electronic Properties of Cubic Strontium Titanate: A Comprehensive Dft Study

This study utilizes first-principles DFT calculations to demonstrate that cadmium alloying in cubic strontium titanate effectively modifies its electronic and optical properties by widening the bandgap and increasing the refractive index, thereby enhancing its potential for optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications.

Tuning the Interfacial Thermal Conductance of Graphene–C 3 B Heterostructures via Interfacial Engineering: A Molecular Dynamics Study

This molecular dynamics study reveals that interfacial thermal conductance in graphene–C3B heterostructures is maximized at sharp interfaces and significantly suppressed by interfacial mixing due to enhanced phonon scattering and localized vibrational modes, while the heterostructure length has a relatively minor impact.

Assessment of the neutron fluence during operation of CEMHTI Cyclotron using Monte-Carlo codes - Simβ-AD study

The Simβ-AD study established a methodology for assessing radioactive waste activation at the CEMHTI Cyclotron by validating neutron fluence measurements from activation foils against four Monte-Carlo codes (FLUKA, MCNP6, PHITS, and RayXpert®), demonstrating good agreement between experimental data and simulations using simplified models.
