Semi-Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield sphaleron and its dynamics.

We construct a simple field theory in which a sphaleron, i.e., a saddle-point particle-like solution, forms a semi-BPS state with a background defect that is an impurity.

Inclusion of radiation in the collective coordinate method approach of the ϕ^{4} model.

We present an effective Lagrangian for the ϕ^{4} model that includes radiation modes as collective coordinates. The coupling between these modes to the discrete part of the spectrum, i.e.

: A Novel Software to Register and Analyze Bone Surface Modifications Based on Three-Dimensional Documentation.

The study of bone surface modifications (BSM) is crucial in understanding site formation processes and the identification of the causal agent behind bone assemblages in the fossil record. In that line, many efforts have been made to generate referential models based on feeding experiments and human butchery simulations that can then be used to interpret the patterns observed in archaeological and paleontological sites. Considering these needs, we developed a novel open-access three-dimensional (3D) software called for the study of BSM distribution patterns on limb long bones.

The relationship between attribution of blame and the perception of resistance in relation to victims of sexual violence.

Several studies have examined victim blaming in rape scenarios. However, there is limited research on the analysis of the perception of blame when two or more perpetrators are involved. The present article explores the perception of blame in cases involving rape based on the level of resistance shown by the victim and the presence of one or more perpetrators.

An analysis of contact tracing protocol in an over-dispersed SEIQR Covid-like disease.

The aim of this work is to study an over-dispersed SEIQR infectious disease and obtain optimal methods of contact tracing. A prototypical example of such a disease is that of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In consequence, this study is immediately applicable to the current health crisis.

Smart Buildings IoT Networks Accuracy Evolution Prediction to Improve Their Reliability Using a Lotka-Volterra Ecosystem Model.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the paradigm that has largely contributed to the development of smart buildings in our society. This technology makes it possible to monitor all aspects of the smart building and to improve its operation. One of the main challenges encountered by IoT networks is that the the data they collect may be unreliable since IoT devices can lose accuracy for several reasons (sensor wear, sensor aging, poorly constructed buildings, etc.

Entropy of radiation: the unseen side of light.

Despite the fact that 2015 was the international year of light, no mention was made of the fact that radiation contains entropy as well as energy, with different spectral distributions. Whereas the energy function has been vastly studied, the radiation entropy distribution has not been analysed at the same speed. The Mode of the energy distribution is well known -Wien's law- and Planck's law has been analytically integrated recently, but no similar advances have been made for the entropy.
