These notes cover (i) electroweak symmetry breaking in the Standard Model (SM) and the Higgs boson, (ii) alternatives to the SM Higgs boson including an introduction to composite Higgs models and Higgsless models that invoke extra dimensions, (iii) t...
Infrared spectroscopy of the H-alpha emission lines of a sub-sample of 19 high-redshift (0.8 < z < 2.3) Molonglo quasars, selected at 408 MHz, is presented. These emission lines are fitted with composite models of broad and narrow emission, which i...
Chobham armour is the informal name of a composite armour developed in the 1960s at the Military Vehicles and Engineering Establishment, a British tank
Electronic Facial Identification Technique (E-FIT, e-fit, efit) is a computer-based method of producing facial composites of wanted criminal(s), based
Multiferroics, combining ferroelectric and magnetic orders, enable magnetoelectric (ME) coupling for advanced applications. This mini review explores single-phase and composite multiferroics, examining phenomenological, microscopic, nanostruc-tured,...
A composite positive integer n is Lehmer if φ(n) divides n-1, where φ(n) is the Euler's totient function. No Lehmer number is known, nor has it been proved that they don't exist. In 2007, the second author [7] proved that there is no Lehmer number...
Index of Wellbeing (CIW) is a composite index, composed of eight interconnected domains that measures stability and change in the wellbeing of Canadians
Feb 5, 2026 · In a nutshell 1 is an odd number which is uniquely neither prime nor composite. It is known as the multiplicative identity or unit. It’s also the only positive number with no other divisors.
The composite fermion picture has had a remarkable number of recent successes both in the description of the fractional quantized Hall states and in the description on the even denominator Fermi liquid like states. In this review we give an introdu...
Recent work has introduced the study of graphical properties of cyclic supercharacters, functions $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{C}$ whose values are exponential sums with close connections to Gauss sums and Gaussian periods. Plots of these funct...

We analyze two sets of observations of Dione's co-orbital satellite Helene taken by Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS). The first observation was a CIRS FP3 (600 to 1100cm-1, 9.1 to 16.7 $μ$m) stare of Helene's trailing hemisphere, whe...
A FEM application for the accurate design of composite backing of ultrasonic transducers is presented. The idea is to obtain the dependence between the volume ratio of the tungsten powder in an epoxy matrix used as a backing and the final pulsed RF s...
Within the context of a viable and economical SUSY preon model, two vector--like families $Q_{L,R} = (U,D,N,E)_{L,R}$ and $Q^\prime_{L,R} = (U^\prime,D^\prime,N^\prime,E^\prime)_{L,R}$ with masses of order 1 TeV, one of which is a doublet of $SU(2)...
The dynamic mechanical properties of reactive materials (e.g., high density mixtures of polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE), aluminum (Al) and tungsten (W) powders) can be tailored by changing the morphology of the particles and porosity. Cold isostatic...
Conventional drop-weight techniques were modified to accommodate low-amplitude force transducer signals from low-strength, cold isostatically pressed 'heavy' composites of polytetrafluoroethylene, aluminum and tungsten. The failure strength, strain...
Small satellites such as CubeSats pose demanding requirements on the weight, size, and multifunctionality of their structures due to extreme constraints on the payload mass and volume. To address this challenge, we introduce a concept of multifunctio...
We consider the description of quantum noise within the framework of the standard Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to a composite system environment setting. Averaging over the environmental degrees of freedom leads to a stochas...
Liquid resin infusion (LRI) processes are promising manufacturing routes to produce large, thick, or complex structural parts. They are based on the resin flow induced, across its thickness, by a pressure applied onto a preform/resin stacking. Howeve...
Studying SU(3) gauge theories with increasing number of light fermions is relevant both for understanding the strong dynamics of QCD and for constructing strongly interacting extensions of the Standard Model (e.g. UV completions of composite Higgs mo...
