Cosmic Inflation

, 2001
I review the current status of the theory of Cosmic Inflation. My discussion covers the motivation and implementation of the idea, as well as an analysis of recent successes and open questions. There is a special discussion of the physics of ``cosmic coherence'' in the primordial perturbations.

Humanism in the Age of Hyperreality: A Speculative Critique of AI Therapybots and the Neoliberal Commodification of Human Beings

The Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the future place of humanistic counseling, assuming the successful mass deployment of artificial intelligence therapy chatbots (AITCs). We systematically identify the limitations of AITCs through the lens of Jean Baudrillard's view on simulacra and hyperreality and identify five collective psychosocial consequences of ...

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

Discriminating Chemoresistant and Chemosensitive Tubo‐Ovarian High‐Grade Serous Carcinoma Cells With Raman Microscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Confocal Raman microscopy combined with multivariate analysis distinguishes cisplatin‐resistant and ‐sensitive tubo‐ovarian high‐grade serous carcinoma cell lines. ABSTRACT Chemoresistance is a major obstacle to effective cancer treatment, particularly in tubo‐ovarian high‐grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), the most lethal gynaecological malignancy ...

Determining Offshore Ocean Significant Wave Height (SWH) Using Continuous Land-Recorded Seismic Data: An Example from the Northeast Atlantic

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Long-term continuous and reliable real-time ocean wave height data are important for climatologists, offshore industries, leisure craft users, and marine forecasters.

Models of DG‐Carbon Bands in Raman Spectra: Effects of Basis Functions and Initial Values on the Uniqueness and S/N of Fits Obtained for Atmospheric Aerosol Using Automated Methods

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectra containing D/G features are fit using combinations of basis functions and initial conditions. Fits with two Lorentzian functions converged to a single optimized fit even with variation of initial peak positions. For five‐band fits, sometimes the final fit varied with initial conditions, and constraints on peak center position were ...

Common‐Mode Rejection Shifted‐Excitation Raman Difference Spectroscopy (CMR‐SERDS) Preserves Broad Structure Predictive of Soil Organic Carbon

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Common‐mode rejection (CMR) is introduced as a physics‐motivated preprocessing method for shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) that removes the shared background of paired measurements while preserving the noncommon excitation‐dependent component. Applied to more than 900 North American soil samples, CMR improves soil organic carbon
