Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors offer heightened sensitivities for dark matter detection across a spectrum of particle masses. To broaden their capability to low-mass dark matter interactions, we investigated the light and charge responses of liquid xenon (LXe) to sub-keV nuclear recoils. Using neutron events from a pulsed Adelphi Deuterium-Deuterium neutron generator, an in situ calibration was conducted on the LUX detector.

Underground office workspaces (UOW) have emerged as a sustainable option in land-scarce megacities. Yet, the main challenge is to design and manage underground spaces that cater to the psychological needs of occupants. By integrating insights from social psychology, urban studies, and policy making, we identify and provide evidence for a key psychological mechanism underlying the adoption of UOW: "locus of control", a psychological process that reflects whether people feel in control of their environment or see it as shaped by external forces.

A trap and drag incident happens on passenger services when someone gets part of their body or their belongings trapped in closing train doors, and is dragged along the platform when the train departs, which can result in fatal consequences. Many passengers are unaware of the risk of trap and drag incidents and so their actions can be a causal factor. This study was conducted to understand the risks at the platform train interface and whether passenger's mental models of door operations are a contributing factor.

Understanding how life is adapting to urban environments represents an important challenge in evolutionary biology. Here we investigate a widely cited example of urban adaptation, form , also known as the London Underground Mosquito. Population genomic analysis of ~350 contemporary and historical samples counter the popular hypothesis that originated belowground in London less than 200 years ago.

The Super-Kamiokande and T2K Collaborations present a joint measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters from their atmospheric and beam neutrino data. It uses a common interaction model for events overlapping in neutrino energy and correlated detector systematic uncertainties between the two datasets, which are found to be compatible. Using 3244.
