"Air pollution from wood burning and gas cooking is massively costly to our healthcare systems and the economy. These are the conclusions of a peer-reviewed study from New Zealand that calculated the cost of hospital treatment, days off ill and early deaths from the air pollution produced by fireplaces, stoves, gas cooking and un-flued room heaters."

What to expect from microscopic nuclear modelling for k$_{\rm eff}$ calculations ?
Comparisons between predicted and benchmark k$_{\rm eff}$ values from criticality-safety systems are often used as metrics to estimate the quality of evaluated nuclear data libraries. Relevant nuclear data for these critical systems generally come from a mixture of expert knowledge and phenomenological predictions. In the present work, we use solely microscopic nuclear modelling from TALYS to estimate actinides cross sections and angular distributions, and we compare the calculated MCNP k$_{\rm…

Combinatorial Aspects of Elliptic Schubert Calculus
The main goal of this paper is to extend two fundamental combinatorial results in Schubert calculus on flag manifolds from equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory to equivariant elliptic cohomology. The foundations of elliptic Schubert calculus were laid in a few relatively recent papers by Rimányi, Weber, and Kumar. They include the recursive construction of elliptic Schubert classes via generalizations of the cohomology and $K$-theory push-pull operators and the study of the corresponding Dema…

Near-room-temperature antiferromagnetism in Janus Fe$X$F ($X$ = O, S) monolayers
Inspired by the recently synthesized hexagonal layered phase of FeF$_2$, we studied the magnetic properties of the 1T-FeF$_2$ monolayer and its Janus Fe$X$F ($X$ = O, S) derivatives by first-principles calculations. Our results confirm that these materials are antiferromagnetic semiconductors, and that anion substitution effectively tunes their material properties: the band gap shifts from 3.37 eV (direct, FeF$_2$) to 2.35 eV (direct, FeOF) and 1.13 eV (indirect, FeSF); the magnetic moment of F…

Green's function expansion for multiple coupled optical resonators with finite retardation using quasinormal modes
The electromagnetic Green's function is a crucial ingredient for the theoretical study of modern photonic quantum devices, but is often difficult or even impossible to calculate directly. We present a numerically efficient framework for calculating the scattered electromagnetic Green's function of a multi-cavity system with spatially separated open cavities (with arbitrary shape, dispersion and loss) and finite retardation times. The framework is based on a Dyson scattering equation that enable…
