This article presents herpetofaunal observations from Limnos and Agios Efstratios, two Asia Minor continental shelf islands in the Aegean Sea. Comprehensive surveys over 88 days in total on Limnos, over a period of nine years, consisted mainly of visual encounter surveys and road cruised observations, revealed the presence of three species of amphibians and twelve species of reptiles, including two new species records for the island (Malpolon insignitus and Pelobates syriacus). The results of these surveys provide a clearer understanding of the extant herpetofauna on Limnos and Agios Efstratios and offer discussion on natural history, possible erroneous historical records and preliminary ecological understanding of the herpetofaunal assemblages residing on these islands.

Report for the project, Exploratory User Research for CoRSAL, which was an exploratory ethnographic study to generate a foundational understanding of how different user groups might use a planned language archive for South Asian languages. Their research project was to be used by the CoRSAL team to help plan the design of CoRSAL’s infrastructure, and laid the groundwork for further studies that will take a deeper look at issues surrounding the design and use of the planned language archive.

Article exploring experiments on hydrogen sulfide oxidation that were conducted in O₂/N₂ at high pressure (30 and 100 bar) under oxidizing and stoichiometric conditions.

Article describing a detailed chemical kinetic model for oxidation of acetylene at intermediate temperatures and high pressure that was developed and evaluated experimentally.

This article details the equilibrium of a positron plasma in a model of the ALPHA apparatus that is computed using a finite-difference method. The positron plasma in the model extends to axial magnetic mirrors in absence of an octupole field. Formation of a three-dimensional electrostatic potential well is found to occur self-consistently. Well depths under various conditions are evaluated. Also, the equilibrium with an antiproton plasma confined in the potential well is computed.

Article studies the possibility that antihydrogen can be synthesized via three body recombination involving magnetobound protonium through classical trajectory simulation. It has been previously reported that proton antiproton collisions can result in a correlated drift of the particles perpendicular to a magnetic field. While the two particles are in their correlated drift, they are referred to as a magnetobound protonium system. Possible three body recombination resulting in bound state antihydrogen is studied when a magnetobound protonium system encounters a positron.

This article describes a study that was conducted to determine what would happen if a magnetobound positronium system encountered a finite-mass antiproton. The simulation incorporates a strong magnetic field (1 T) similar to that found within Penning traps. The simulation shows that with a finite-mass antiproton, the electron will be ejected from the system, and the positron is captured into a bound state with an antiproton thereby synthesizing antihydrogen.

Article proposes applying concepts from nonlinear science developed and employed by physicists, economists, and meteorologists to women's health issues.

In this article, a theoretical model of social empathic emotion is derived based on the principles of survival by extending the maximization of self-gains to include others as an extended-self. This extended-self model of optimization for survival provides the computational mechanisms in the optimization process to maximize self-gains without minimizing the gains (or maximizing losses) for the other individuals. Thus, it can resolve conflicts in a competitive environment, and change the social dynamics into a cooperative interaction instead.

The article investigates the pressure-induced phase transitions in tin selenide (SnSe). using the first-principles density functional calculations. The experimental results in the nanostructured SnSe revealed a phase transition at 4 GPa whereas that in the well-crystallized samples showed at 10 GPa.
