Soliton dynamics in the Ostrovsky equation with anomalous dispersion

This study investigates the formation and inelastic interactions of solitons in the non-integrable Ostrovsky equation with anomalous dispersion, revealing that these waves can organize into regular or irregular trains and that, in closed systems, a dominant "soliton-champion" emerges by annihilating smaller solitons while exhibiting a recurrence phenomenon distinct from the Korteweg-de Vries equation.

Implementation of a Radiation Protection System at Four Hospitals in Ethiopia

This study assesses the implementation of radiation protection systems in four Ethiopian hospitals, revealing that while background and idle radiation levels are safe, poor operational practices and a lack of monitoring equipment lead to dangerously high exposure for staff during active X-ray procedures, necessitating immediate training, modern equipment, and dedicated radiation protection oversight.

Six-dimensional supermultiplets from bundles on projective spaces

This paper utilizes the isomorphism between the six-dimensional nilpotence variety and P1×P3\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^3 within the pure spinor superfield formalism to classify and explicitly construct various six-dimensional supermultiplets, including vector, hyper, and supergravity multiplets, by associating them with line bundles and higher-rank equivariant vector bundles on projective spaces.

Attenuation of long waves through regions of irregular floating ice and bathymetry

This paper presents a revised, energy-conserving theoretical model for the attenuation of long waves through regions of irregular floating ice and random bathymetry, which corrects previous over-predictions by utilizing ensemble averaging of transfer matrix eigenvalues and successfully reproduces key features of field data, including frequency-dependent attenuation rates and high-frequency roll-over effects.
