Strange mesons and kaon-to-pion transition form factors from holography [PDF]
, 2009 We present a calculation of the $K_{\ell 3}$ transition form factors using the AdS/QCD correspondence. We also solidify and extend our ability to calculate quantities in the flavor-broken versions of AdS/QCD.

Regular versus singular order of contact on pseudoconvex hypersurfaces
, 2017 The singular and regular type of a point on a real hypersurface $\mathcal H$ in $\mathbb C^n$ are shown to agree when the regular type is strictly less than 4. If $\mathcal H$ is pseudoconvex, we show they agree when the regular type is 4.

Current percolation and anisotropy in polycrystalline MgB$_2$
, 2003 The influence of anisotropy on the transport current in MgB$_2$ polycrystalline bulk samples and wires is discussed. A model for the critical current density is proposed, which is based on anisotropic London theory, grain boundary pinning and percolation

Reduced neutron widths in the nuclear data ensemble: Experiment and theory do not agree
, 2010 I have analyzed reduced neutron widths ({\Gamma}_{n}^0) for the subset of 1245 resonances in the nuclear data ensemble (NDE) for which they have been reported.

Do scientists agree about climate change? public perceptions from a New Hampshire survey [PDF]
, 2010 This report, a collaboration of the Carsey Institute, the UNH Survey Center, and the UNH Office of Sustainability, is the first of a new initiative that will track public perceptions about climate change as they change over time.

Relative distances of Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae
, 2008 We present precise optical and near-infrared ground-based photometry of two Globular Clusters (GCs): Omega Cen and 47 Tuc. These photometric catalogs are unbiased in the Red Giant Branch (RGB) region close to the tip.

Higher spin quasinormal modes and one-loop determinants in the BTZ black hole
, 2011 We solve the wave equations of arbitrary integer spin fields in the BTZ black hole background and obtain exact expressions for their quasinormal modes.
