Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays from Topological Defects --- Cosmic Strings, Monopoles, Necklaces, and All That [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The topological defect scenario of origin of the observed highest energy cosmic rays is reviewed. Under a variety of circumstances, topological defects formed in the early Universe can be sources of very massive particles in the Universe today. The decay products of these massive particles may be responsible for the observed highest energy cosmic ray ...

From preventive eugenics to slippery eugenics: Population control and contemporary sterilisations targeted to indigenous peoples in Mexico

open access: yesSociology of Health &Illness, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 128-144, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Eugenic ideas in Mexico were popularised after the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) as a way of ‘modernising’ and ‘civilising’ the nation. As a result, eugenic ideas were able to linger and be maintained through different departments, institutions, and individuals from all disciplines. After eugenics was considered a pseudoscience, its practices

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

The Role of Pressure Anisotropy in Cosmic Ray Hydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cosmic ray propagation in the Milky Way and other galaxies is largely diffusive, with mean free path determined primarily by pitch angle scattering from hydromagnetic waves with wavelength of order the cosmic ray gyroradius. In the theory of cosmic ray self confinement, the waves are generated by instabilities driven by the cosmic rays themselves.

Kaluza-Klein and Gauss-Bonnet cosmic strings [PDF]

open access: yesClass.Quant.Grav. 13 (1996) 2635-2650, 1996
We make a systematic investigation of stationary cylindrically symmetric solutions to the five-dimensional Einstein and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet equations. Apart from the five-dimensional neutral cosmic string metric, we find two new exact solutions which qualify as cosmic strings, one corresponding to an electrically charged cosmic string, the other to ...

Nanoscale Biodegradable Printing for Designed Tuneability of Vaccine Delivery Kinetics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal Controlled Release Inks of Biocompatible polyEsters (SCRIBE) is a novel 2PP resin family with sub‐micron resolution and tuneable hydrolysis. SCRIBE enables direct printing of hollow microparticles with complex chemistries and geometries inaccessible to molding techniques, which are used to modulate antibody titers and class switching as ...
