Cover Story: Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are $N=1$ supersymmetric grand unified theories that can be made finite to all orders in perturbation theory, based on the principle of the reduction of couplings. FUTs correctly predicted the mass of the top and bottom quarks as well as the standard model-like Higgs Boson. This is naturally realized using a heavy SUSY spectrum that escapes current and future LHC searches. Higher-energy $pp$ such as the FCC-hh will be able to test this model. View this paper

The information of human occupancy plays a crucial role in building management. For instance, fewer people, less demand for heat and electricity supply, and vice versa. Moreover, when there is a fire in a building, it is convenient to know how many p...

A Pogorelov polytope is a combinatorial simple 3-polytope realizable in the Lobachevsky (hyperbolic) space as a bounded right-angled polytope. These polytopes are exactly simple 3-polytopes with cyclically 5-edge connected graphs. A Pogorelov polytop...
