Search for the associated production of charm quarks and a Higgs boson decaying into a photon pair with the ATLAS detector
A search for the production of a Higgs boson and one or more charm quarks, in which the Higgs boson decays into a photon pair (H→γγ), is presented. This search uses proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=13 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140 fb-1 recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis relies on the identification of charm-quark-containing jets, and adopts an approach based on Gaussian process regression to model the non-resonant di-photon background. The observed (expected, assuming the Standard Model signal) upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the cross-section for producing a Higgs boson and at least one charm-quark-containing jet that passes a fiducial selection is found to be 10.6 pb (8.8 pb). The observed (expected) measured cross-section for this process is 5.3±3.2 pb (2.9±3.1 pb)

The performance of missing transverse momentum reconstruction and its significance with the ATLAS detector using 140 fb-1 of sqrt(s) = 13 TeV pp collisions
This paper presents the reconstruction of missing transverse momentum (pTmiss) in proton–proton collisions, at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. This is a challenging task involving many detector inputs, combining fully calibrated electrons, muons, photons, hadronically decaying τ-leptons, hadronic jets, and soft activity from remaining tracks. Possible double counting of momentum is avoided by applying a signal ambiguity resolution procedure which rejects detector inputs that have already been used. Several pTmiss 'working points' are defined with varying stringency of selections, the tightest improving the resolution at high pile-up by up to 39% compared to the loosest. The pTmiss performance is evaluated using data and Monte Carlo simulation, with an emphasis on understanding the impact of pile-up, primarily using events consistent with leptonic Z decays. The studies use 140 fb-1 of data, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider between 2015 and 2018. The results demonstrate that pTmiss reconstruction, and its associated significance, are well understood and reliably modelled by simulation. Finally, the systematic uncertainties on the soft pTmiss component are calculated. After various improvements the scale and resolution uncertainties are reduced by up to 76% and 51%, respectively, compared to the previous calculation at a lower luminosity
This article examines Judgment No. 16 of 2024, in which the Constitutional Court ruled on the legitimacy of Puglia's sea urchin law. The analysis focuses not only on the content, but also on the form of the decision, highlighting the Court's role in ensuring environmental protection and, at the same time, the division of legislative powers between the State and the Regions. Particular attention is paid to the Court's use of an 'atypical' substitutive decision, assessing its implications and potential as a strategic tool to address ecosystem emergencies
Development and Characterization of Chitosan Microparticles via Ionic Gelation for Drug Delivery
This study explores the formulation of chitosan microparticles through ionic gelation and presents detailed physicochemical characterization, release studies, and the utility and potential uses for drug delivery. Three formulations were prepared under rate-controlled conditions (stirring at 800 rpm and pH maintained at 4.6) with and without stabilizers to examine the effects of formulation parameters on particle morphology and structural stability. To determine different structural and chemical characteristics, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were utilized, which confirmed that the particles formed and assessed size distribution and structural integrity. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to quantify surface roughness and potential nanomechanical differences that may derive from the use of different modifiers. Coformulation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) permitted assessment of encapsulation efficiency and drug release capacity. Based on in vitro release evidence, the protein released at a different rate, and the dispersion of formulations under physiological conditions (PBS, pH 7.4, 37 °C) confirmed the differences in stability between formulations. The tunable physical characteristics, mild fabrication conditions, and controlled drug release demonstrated that the chitosan particles could have useful relevance as a substrate for localized drug delivery and as a bioactive scaffold for tissue regenerative purposes
