Getting up to standard jargon
Article Abstract:
The technical vocabulary used in the Standard Model of particle physics is elucidated. The Model is made up of two parts: one is the theory of quantum chromodynamics or the interaction between quarks and gluons which form the atomic nuclei, and the other is the electroweak theory which illustrates the weak and electromagnetic relationships. Quarks and gluons are identified by three-color codes representing their charge. The eight gluons in quantum chromodynamics react to these charges while having color charges of their own. Quarks possess both color and ordinary electric charges.

Model of anomalous transport with backreacting localized perturbations
Article Abstract:
A new model may assist studies of nonlinear elementary processes that are often problematic in physics, astrophysics and biology. Anomalous transport, in which predicted and observed flux fail to agree, is one such process. The new model consists of localized structures used with variables drawn from transported quantity and the structures' affect on diffusion. Turbulent magnetic plasma is an example of anomalous transport that the model could help to analyze.

Origin of anomalous multibody interactions
Article Abstract:
The nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation cannot produce attractions between like-charged particles. It has been possible to identify only repulsive interactions between confined particles, suggesting that the reason for anomalous colloidal multibody interactions is still not known. It was found that colloidal particles in a pore are repulsive at all distances. The pore has only a limited mitigating impact on the repulsions relative to isolated particles.
