Programmable Sequential 4D Actuation in Multistable Kirigami Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a modular kirigami metamaterial framework enabling programmable multistability and sequential 4D actuation. By coupling geometry‐controlled multistability with material‐dependent recovery kinetics, spatiotemporal deformation can be precisely programmed.

On anthropic solutions of the cosmological constant problem [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2001
Motivated by recent work of Bousso and Polchinski (BP), we study theories which explain the small value of the cosmological constant using the anthropic principle. We argue that simultaneous solution of the gauge hierarchy problem is a strong constraint on any such theory. We exhibit three classes of models which satisfy these constraints. The first is

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Cosmological model from the holographic equipartition law with a modified Rényi entropy

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
Cosmological equations were recently derived by Padmanabhan from the expansion of cosmic space due to the difference between the degrees of freedom on the surface and in the bulk in a region of space. In this study, a modified Rényi entropy is applied to

Direct SMBH Formation Driven by Runaway Stellar Collisions in Globally Unstable Stellar Systems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fueling problem addresses the ultimate fate of the reservoirs of gas and stars driven into the deepest gravitational potential wells of galaxies, thus it may contain the Universe's densest concentrations of gas and stars. This raises a key question: does the infalling material collapse directly into a supermassive black hole, or can it ...

Manifestly Local Formulation of Nonlocal Approach to the Cosmological Constant Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a manifestly local and general coordinate invariant formulation of a nonlocal approach to the cosmological constant problem which has been recently proposed by Carroll and Remmen. To do that, we need to introduce a topological term involving a

The matrilineal Turn: Wiradjuri matrilineal leadership, colonial disruption, and the work of cultural return

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article advances three claims regarding the matrilineal organization of Wiradjuri society in central New South Wales. Drawing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century ethnographic record, it demonstrates that Wiradjuri descent, totem, moiety identity, and ceremonial authority were and are matrilineally organized, despite ...

The Exact Value of the Cosmological Constant

open access: yes, 2020
Aim: The theoretical value of the cosmological constant Lambda and the problem associated with the same is reviewed again. Methods: The stress-energy-tensor was geometrized Results: Based on the geometrized stress-energy tensor, it was possible to ...

Localized surface plasmon resonance in silver nanoparticles——sensing,molecular recognition and light-matter interaction enhancement

open access: yes上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2015
By assuming the cosmological “constant” is no longer a constant during the inflation epoch,it is found that the cosmological constant fine-tuning problem is solved.In the meanwhile,inflation models could predict a large tensor-to-scalar ratio,correct ...

Spiritual Cannibalism in HRD: How Workplace Spirituality Devours Sacred Traditions

open access: yesHuman Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper interrogates how the discourse of workplace spirituality in human resource development (HRD) operates as a tool of colonization. Through a systematic review of 48 articles published between 1997 and March 2025, the study uncovers recurring patterns of spiritual appropriation in which non‐Western traditions are detached from their ...
