Gravitational interaction of particles is understood in terms of energy-momentum tensor (EMT) which gives information regarding the fundamental properties of a particle like mass and spin. When the matrix element of the energy-momentum tensor is written in terms of EMT form factors, we get an...

The increasing demand for food containers, along with growing petroplastics concerns and Canada's single-use plastic ban, led to an interest in replacing petroplastics with renewable, biodegradable materials like cellulose. Wheat is one of the main cereal crops produced in Canada, and thus, large...

With the rapid aging of the world’s population, the global burden of aging related mental disorders, such as Alzheimer’s dementia (AD), is also on the rise. Unfortunately global healthcare systems are vastly under-resourced, which means that many people who need mental health services are unable...
