A potential scattering theory from deterministic and random $\mathcal{PT}$ collections of particles with gain and loss is introduced and the forms of their structure and pair-structure factors are elucidated. An example relating to light…
Urban environments are intricate systems where the breakdown of critical infrastructure can impact both the economic and social well-being of communities. Electricity systems hold particular significance, as they are essential for other…
The scattering of a positron by a muon in the presence of a linearly polarized laser field is investigated in the first Born approximation. The theoretical results reveals: 1) at large scattering angle, an amount of multiphoton processes…
Although water is almost transparent to visible light, we demonstrate that the air-water interface interacts strongly with visible light via what we hypothesize as the photomolecular effect. In this effect, transverse-magnetic polarized…
We present the results of the analysis of satellite imagery to study light pollution in Spain. Both calibrated and non-calibrated DMSP-OLS images were used. We describe the method to scale the non-calibrated DMSP-OLS images which allows us…
Lichens are good bio-indicators of air pollution, but in most tropical countries there are few studies on the subject; however, in the city of San Jos\'e, Costa Rica, the relationship between air pollution and lichens has been studied for…
Experimental work with solar neutrinos has illuminated the properties of neutrinos and tested models of how the sun produces its energy. Three experiments continue to take data, and at least seven are in various stages of planning or…
Today e-waste are becoming a major problem for the developing countries. E-waste is defined something as a discarded parts of electronic devices which contains most of the times, hazardous chemicals which is deadly for our environment,…
Localized radiation sources are analyzed with respect to the relation of nonclassicality and quantum entanglement of the emitted light. The source field parts of the radiation emitted in different directions are closely related to each…
We study light propagation in a photonic system that shows stepwise evolution in a discretized environment. It resembles a discrete-time version of photonic waveguide arrays or quantum walks. By introducing controlled photon losses to our…
Light Polarization has many technological applications and its discovery was crucial to reveal the transverse nature of the electromagnetic waves. However, despite its fundamental and practical importance, in high school this property of…
Air pollution, especially the particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5), has become a growing concern in recent years, primarily in urban areas. Being exposed to air pollution is linked to developing numerous health problems, like the aggravation of…
Commercial aviation is one of the biggest contributors towards climate change. We propose to reduce environmental impact of aviation by considering solutions that would reduce the flight time. Specifically, we first consider improving winds…
The passage of light or of electrons through a disordered medium is modified in the presence of resonances. We describe a simple model for this problem, and present first results.
