Summary: We report a precise measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry APV in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from Ca-48. The results provide values for the neutral weak form factor F-W(q = 0.8733 fm(-1)) and the charge minus the weak form factor F-ch -F-W. The study has implications for energy density functional calculations and the density dependence of the symmetry energy of nuclear matter.

Summary: This study investigates the application of a horizontal uniform magnetic field in stabilizing the flow field and its effects on the energy equation. With the help of traditional von Karman similarity transformations, a similarity system of equations is derived, and the development of velocity and temperature fields under the magnetic field is numerically investigated. The existence of exact series solutions using decaying exponential functions is discussed, and the critical roles of the horizontal magnetic field on physical quantities are highlighted.

On the entropy optimization of hemodynamic peristaltic pumping of a nanofluid with geometry effects

V Sridhar, K. Ramesh, M. Gnaneswara Reddy, Martin N. Azese, Sara Abdelsalam

Summary: This article analyzes the impact of copper and diamond nanoparticles on the peristaltic pumping of couple stress nanofluid in a vertical microchannel, regulated by the electro-magneto-hydrodynamic mechanism. The study considers thermal radiation, convective and slip boundary conditions, and examines the effects of different shapes of nanoparticles on shear stress, velocity, temperature, heat transfer rate, and entropy generation. The results show that the couple stress parameter affects the velocity and pressure gradient of the nanofluid, while the shape of nanoparticles and external factors such as magnetic field strength and thermal radiation have varying effects on the nanofluid properties.
