Membership‐Making in Diverse Societies: Revisiting the Idea of Society as a Common Possession
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The traditional aim of Western social democracy has been to create a society that is a ‘common possession’ of its members (in T.H. Marshall's words). Social democratic politics has therefore been both society‐making and membership‐making, orienting people to a shared society as an object of attachment and loyalty, and nurturing membership ...

Brief communication: Precision measurement of the index of refraction of deep glacial ice at radio frequencies at Summit Station, Greenland [PDF]
The CryosphereWe report on the measurement of the index of refraction of glacial ice at radio frequencies at Summit Station, Greenland. This measurement is of particular importance for the Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland, an experiment currently under ...

A Universe that does not know the time
, 2018 In this paper we propose that cosmological time is a quantum observable that does not commute with other quantum operators essential for the definition of cosmological states, notably the cosmological constant. This is inspired by properties of a measure

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...

On the cosmological gravitational waves and cosmological distances
Physics Letters B, 2018 We show that solitonic cosmological gravitational waves propagated through the Friedmann universe and generated by the inhomogeneities of the gravitational field near the Big Bang can be responsible for increase of cosmological distances.

On Special Relativity with Cosmological Constant
, 2004 Based on the principle of relativity and the postulate of invariant speed and length, we propose the theory of special relativity with cosmological constant ${\cal SR}_{c,R}$ if the invariant length whose square is the inverse of the one-third ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

Global Vortex and Black Cosmic String
, 1997 We study global vortices coupled to (2+1) dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. We found nonsingular vortex solutions in $\phi^4$-theory with a broken U(1) symmetry, of which the spacetimes do not involve physical curvature singularity.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mount Erciyes, the largest active volcano of Central Anatolia (Turkey), erupted explosively during the Holocene, producing the Karagüllü, Perikartin and Dikkartin tuff rings. Even though major cities like Kayseri and its ~1 million residents sit directly on these pyroclastic deposits, the timing and magnitude of the explosive eruptions have ...

Dark Matter Substructure and Dwarf Galactic Satellites
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 A decade ago cosmological simulations of increasingly higher resolution were used to demonstrate that virialized regions of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos are filled with a multitude of dense,
