Published: April 2020

We present a Feynman integral representation for the general momentum-space scalar n-point function in any conformal field theory. This representation solves the conformal Ward identities and features an arbitrary function of n(n-3)/2 variables which play the role of momentum-space conformal cross ratios. It involves (n-1)(n-2)/2 integrations over momenta, with the momenta running over the edges of an (n-1) simplex. We provide the details in the simplest nontrivial case (4-point functions), and for this case we identify values of the operator and spacetime dimensions for which singularities arise leading to anomalies and beta functions, and discuss several illustrative examples from perturbative quantum field theory and holography.

This paper presents an in-depth analytical investigation into the time-dependent flow of a Casson hybrid nanofluid over a radially stretching sheet. The study introduces the effects of magnetic fields and thermal radiation, along with velocity and thermal slip, to model real-world systems for enhancing heat transfer in critical industrial applications. The hybrid nanofluid consists of three nanoparticles-Copper and Graphene Oxide-suspended in Kerosene Oil, selected for their stable and superior thermal properties.

The Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) method, a polarizable quantum mechanics-based force field for describing non-covalent interactions, is utilized to calculate protein-ligand interactions in seven inactive cyclin-dependent kinase 2-ligand complexes, employing structural data from molecular dynamics simulations to assess dynamic and solvent effects. Our results reveal high correlations between experimental binding affinities and EFP interaction energies across all the structural data considered. Using representative structures found by clustering analysis and excluding water molecules yields the highest correlation (R2 of 0.

The successful design and deployment of next-generation nuclear technologies heavily rely on thermodynamic data for relevant molten salt systems. However, the lack of accurate force fields and efficient methods has limited the quality of thermodynamic predictions from atomistic simulations. Here we propose an efficient free energy framework for computing chemical potentials, which is the central free energy quantity behind many thermodynamic properties.

The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate new antimicrobial compounds. We specifically focused on the development of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives containing the O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-(D)-ribofuranoside groups through N-alkylation reactions. The synthesized compounds were characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
