Off-shell vertices in heavy particle effective theories and B → Dπℓν by Michele Papucci, Ryan Plestid

“…Abstract We study the modifications to decay amplitudes in heavy to heavy semileptonic decays with multiple hadrons in the final state due to intermediate heavy hadrons being off-shell or having a finite width. Combining Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory (HHχPT) with a BCFW on-shell factorization formula, we show that these effects induce O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (1/M) corrections to the standard results computed in the narrow-width approximation and therefore are important in extracting form factors from data. …”

UV irradiation effect on wet-finishing for cotton fabrics with chestnut shell extract by Kyung Hwa Hong

“…Importantly, this study demonstrates that UV irradiation alone provides sufficient energy to achieve the desired functional enhancements, thereby eliminating the need for additional heat-curing steps and efficient functional wet-process for cotton fabrics with agro-waste ‘chestnut shell’ extract was achieved.…”
