Explosive synchronization in frequency displaced multiplex networks.

Abstract: Motivated by the recent multiplex framework of complex networks, in this work, we investigate if explosive synchronization can be induced in the multiplex network of two layers. Using nonidentical Kuramoto oscillators, we show that a sufficient frequency mismatch between two layers of a multiplex network can lead to explosive inter- and intralayer synchronization due to mutual frustration in the completion of the synchronization processes of the layers, generating a hybrid transition without imposing any specific structure-dynamics correlation.

Micro-mechanical performance evaluation of expansive soil biotreated with indigenous bacteria using MICP method.

Abstract: This study explored the effect of indigenous bacteria present in the soil to stabilized swelling behavior and improving the mechanical property of expansive soil. The objective of the research is to investigate the effectiveness of the biostimulation microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) for controlling the swelling-shrinkage behavior and improving shear strength of expansive soil. An attempt was made to develop an effective procedure to culture the indigenous bacteria for treating clays with varying plasticity and improve their engineering behavior. The detailed procedure has been investigated to effectively apply the MICP technique in clay soil, considering its low permeable nature. The applicability of biostimulation to clayey soils in minimizing their swelling potential and improving the strength is assessed. Both macroscale and microscale studies were conducted on untreated and biostimulated soils to observe changes in plasticity, strength, swelling, mineralogical, chemical characteristics. The present method has shown an effective alternative to improve the road pavement subgrade without affecting the eco-system of natural soil. The method investigated the effective way of providing the enrichment and cementation solution in clayey soil, which is the major concern in current literature. The study confirms that the calcite content has been increased with biostimulated MICP treatment up to 205% in the treated specimens and which future increased the unconfined compressive strength and split tensile strength. A reduction in the swelling pressure and swell strain is also observed. The results show that a cost-effect and eco-friendly method can be deployed for stabilizing the road pavement subgrades. The statistical assessment using multivariate analysis and hierarchical clustering dendrogram has been carried out to investigate the effect of the MICP treatment protocol on different soil and engineering parameters.

Measurement of D0, D+, D∗+ and Ds+ production in pp collisions at √s=5.02 TeV with ALICE

Abstract: The measurements of the production of prompt ${{\mathrm{D}}^0}$ , ${{\mathrm{D}}^+}$ , ${{\mathrm{D}}^{*+}}$ , and ${{\mathrm{D}}^+_{\mathrm{s}}}$ mesons in proton–proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s}=5.02~\mathrm {TeV}$ with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are reported. D mesons were reconstructed at mid-rapidity ( $|y|<0.5$ ) via their hadronic decay channels $\mathrm{D}^0 \rightarrow {\mathrm{K}}^-\pi ^+$ , $\mathrm{D}^+\rightarrow {\mathrm{K}}^-\pi ^+\pi ^+$ , ${\mathrm{D}}^{*+} \rightarrow {\mathrm{D}}^0 \pi ^+ \rightarrow {\mathrm{K}}^- \pi ^+ \pi ^+$ , ${{\mathrm{D}}^{+\mathrm{s}}\rightarrow \phi \pi ^+\rightarrow {\mathrm{K}}^{+} {\mathrm{K}}^{-} \pi ^{+}}$ , and their charge conjugates. The production cross sections were measured in the transverse momentum interval $0
