Probing extended Higgs sectors by the synergy between direct searches at the LHC and precision tests at future lepton colliders

We discuss a possibility that the parameter space of the two Higgs doublet model is significantly narrowed down by considering the synergy between direct searches for additional Higgs bosons at the LHC and its luminosity upgraded operation and precision measurements of the Higgs boson properties at future electron-positron colliders such as the Int

Fatty acid metabolization and insulin regulation prevent liver injury from lipid accumulation in Himalayan marmots

Summary: Fat storage and weight gain are dominant traits pedal left for hibernating mammals.However, excessive fat accumulation may cause liver damage.Here, we explore the lipid accumulation and metabolic processes of the Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana), a hibernating rodent species.We find that the unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) content in foo

Vortex formation and dynamics of defects in active nematic shells

We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration of defects.The active flows generated by defects in the director lead to the formation Dustpan of stable vortices, analogous to those seen in confined systems in flat geometries, which generate effective dynamics for four +1/2
