The fourth (and last) day of talks
In this paper we have discussed a theoretical approach to find out some of the parameters of neutrino oscillations. We have assumed that twice of the sum of the three neutrino mixing angles is ${180}^0$; in other words twice of the three mixing angles constitute a triangle. We have constructed one such triangle with proper scale factor such that among the three sides two are independent mass...
Stars and their planets form from the same cloud of interstellar dust and gas implying a chemical link between the composition of exoplanets and the stars that host them. For the majority of exoplanet hosting stars, however, we only know the bulk metallicity rather than the abundances of particular elements such as magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and carbon. These elements, among others, are...
Using density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) and the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) Python module, we will investigate under what conditions Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) can be used as a material for chemical gas sensors by simulating adsorption processes for simple molecules such as NH3, CO, H2O, etc. Some experiments have revealed...
Cold Quasars ($ \rm L_x > 10^{44} $ erg/s, $\rm S_{250} > 30$ mJy) are a recently discovered, extremely rare galaxy. They are luminous in both the X-ray and infrared wavelengths and can have up to seven times as much star formation as normal quasars. They are predicted to be a step in the progression between the starburst galaxies that have undergone a recent galaxy merger and blue, unobscured...
