Journal Article
Roy, D., Wang, R., Roy, S., Smallbone, A., & Roskilly, A. P. (2024). Hybrid renewable energy systems for sustainable power supply in remote location: Techno-economic and environmental assessment. Energy Conversion and Management: X, 24, Article 100793. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecmx.2024.100793

Electricity supply is inconsistent and unreliable in many remote areas of India, where depending solely on a single renewable energy source is impractical. In this context, this study investigates the potential of off-grid hybrid renewable energy sys...

Stealth dark matter spectrum using Laplacian Heaviside smearing and irreducible representations (2024)
Journal Article
Brower, R., Culver, C., Cushman, K., Fleming, G., Hasenfratz, A., Howarth, D., Ingoldby, J., Jin, X., Kribs, G., Meyer, A., Neil, E., Osborn, J., Owen, E., Park, S., Rebbi, C., Rinaldi, E., Schaich, D., Vranas, P., Weinberg, E., Witzel, O., & Lattice Strong Dynamics (LSD) Collaboration. (2024). Stealth dark matter spectrum using Laplacian Heaviside smearing and irreducible representations. Physical Review D, 110(9), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.110.095001

We present nonperturbative lattice calculations in the quenched approximation of the low-lying meson and baryon spectrum of the SU(4) gauge theory with fundamental fermion constituents. This theory is one instance of stealth dark matter, a class of s... Read More about Stealth dark matter spectrum using Laplacian Heaviside smearing and irreducible representations.

Modelling cultural responses to disease spread in Neolithic Trypillia mega-settlements (2024)
Journal Article
Bentley, R. A., Carrignon, S., Gaydarska, B., Chapman, J., Buchanan, B., & O'Brien, M. J. (2024). Modelling cultural responses to disease spread in Neolithic Trypillia mega-settlements. Journal of the Royal Society. Interface, 21(219), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2024.0313

As zoonotic diseases coevolved with early agriculture, social distancing within dense human settlements could have conferred a selective advantage in terms of infection risk. Here, we consider the case of Trypillia mega-settlements after 4000 BC, as... Read More about Modelling cultural responses to disease spread in Neolithic Trypillia mega-settlements.

Hubble Space Telescope observations of nearby type 1 quasars. I. Characterization of the extended [O iii] 5007 Å emission (2024)
Journal Article
Trindade Falcão, A., Kraemer, S. B., Fischer, T. C., Schmitt, H. R., Feuillet, L., Crenshaw, D. M., Revalski, M., Maksym, W. P., Vestergaard, M., Elvis, M., Gaskell, C. M., Ho, L. C., Netzer, H., Storchi-Bergmann, T., Turner, T. J., & Ward, M. J. (2024). Hubble Space Telescope observations of nearby type 1 quasars. I. Characterization of the extended [O iii] 5007 Å emission. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 535(1), 621-633. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae2412

We use the Hubble Space Telescope to analyse the extended [O iii] 5007 Å emission in seven bright radio-quiet type 1 quasars (QSO1s), focusing on the morphology and physical conditions of their extended Narrow-Line Regions (NLRs). We find NLRs extend... Read More about Hubble Space Telescope observations of nearby type 1 quasars. I. Characterization of the extended [O iii] 5007 Å emission.
