Establishment of global phase coherence in a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite: Roles of interface, morphology and defect
Recently, we have reported that a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite exhibits bulk-like superconducting properties with isotropic pinning, showing an excellent phase-coherent capability irrespective of the low volume fraction (~30 vol. %) of MgB2 [Uchino et al., Phys. Rev. B 101, 035146 (2020); Teramachi et al,, Phys. Rev. B 108, 155146 (2023)].

The skew normal law has been introduced in Azzalin (1985) as an alternative to adjusting asymmetric data that share important patterns with the normal law. It has been extensively studied. However, there is so much to do in order to catch the diversity and the richness of the investigation of its normal counterpart. The General Jarque-Berra Test (GJBT) has been devised by Lo et al.

Existence, uniqueness, and long-time asymptotic behavior of regular solutions in multidimensional thermoelasticity
We study a simplified nonlinear thermoelasticity model on two- and three-dimensional tori. A novel functional involving the Fisher information associated with temperature is introduced, extending the previous one-dimensional approach from the first two authors (SIAM J.\ Math.\ Anal.\ \textbf{55} (2023), 7024--7038)) to higher dimensions. Using this functional, we prove global/local existence of unique regular solutions for small/large initial data. Furthermore, we analyze the asymptotic behavio…

The results, based on data for up to 126 countries spanning from 1978 to 2023, indicate a higher demand for residential electricity and natural gas at temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius and a higher demand for electricity…

Continued fractions with large prime partial quotients
We determine the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff dimension of various sets of real numbers with infinitely many partial quotients that are both large and prime, thus extending the well-known theorems by Łuczak (1997) and Huang-Wu-Xu (2020). To this end, we obtain new asymptotics on the tail end of the almost prime zeta function. Our results include some recent work by Schindler-Zweim{ü}ller (2023).
