Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

Existence of vacuum wormholes in Einsteinian cubic gravity

Journal of High Energy Physics
Wormhole solutions in gravitational theories typically require exotic matter. Here we present a wormhole solution to the field equations of Einsteinian Cubic Gravity — a phenomenological competitor to general relativity that includes terms cubic in the ...

‘Let's talk about the weather’: The activist curriculum and global climate change education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Activist movements have garnered significant global attention on a range of sustainability issues, often involving collectives of citizens coming together. Invoked is the idea of citizens informed to act, emerging not from a common‐sense understanding of everyday life, but rather from a deep political understanding of the world—one that is ...

A systematic review of facilitators and barriers to school staff development projects using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper is a systematic literature review (SLR) of research published between 2009 and 2022 that aims to identify facilitators and barriers to implementing staff development projects (SDPs) in schools in England. Twelve research papers fulfilled all inclusion criteria and were each evaluated as being at least medium‐quality research.

Geometry of black holes and braneworlds in higher dimensions [PDF]

, 2004
This tliesis first discusses braneworld models, we explain how the bulk geometry in codimension 2 scenarios restricts braneworld fields in a way inconsistent with observation.

Measuring what matters: Evaluating the impact of curriculum decolonisation initiatives in UK business schools

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Curriculum decolonisation has become a prominent feature of equity agendas in UK higher education, yet there remains limited empirical and theoretical work on how such initiatives are evaluated, particularly within business schools. This paper presents one of the first multi‐institutional empirical studies examining how UK business schools ...

Promoting the Mathematization of Physics: Hermann Minkowski's Draft Presentations of His 1908 “Grundgleichungen” Paper

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
I present and discuss two drafts of remarks prepared by the mathematician Hermann Minkowski (1864–1909). They were composed in December 1907 while preparing his paper on the “Basic Equations of Electromagnetic Processes in Moving Bodies” for publication in the Proceedings of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Classical, quantum and numerical aspects of modified theories of gravity

This thesis considers modifications of some specific and well-known gravity theories. In particular, linearised infinite-derivative gravity theories are studied in both four-dimensional and two-dimensional space-time. For the four-dimensional case, some specific quantum aspects of infinite-derivative gravity are examined.

Foundations for a theory of emergent quantum mechanics and emergent classical gravity

, 2014
Quantum systems are viewed as emergent systems from the fundamental degrees of freedom. The laws and rules of quantum mechanics are understood as an effective description, valid for the emergent systems and specially useful to handle probabilistic predictions of observables.
