Horava-Lifshitz cosmology with generalized Chaplygin gas
, 2011 We investigate cosmological scenarios of generalized Chaplygin gas in a universe governed by Horava-Lifshitz gravity. We consider both the detailed and non-detailed balance versions of the gravitational background, and we include the baryonic matter and ...

Captive insurance companies and the management of non-conventional corporate risks [PDF]
We examine under what conditions setting up a captive insurance company with reinsurance is an optimal solution for risk-averse firms when the insured firm, the insurer and the reinsurer do not know the probability distribution of some risks, and have ...

A Revisit to Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry
, 2011 We analyze various models for the top quark forward-backward asymmetry ($A^t_{FB}$) at the Tevatron, using the latest CDF measurements on different $A^t_{FB}$s and the total cross section. The axigluon model in Ref.

Mesons and Nucleons in Soft-Wall AdS/QCD with Constrained Infrared Background
, 2012 The purpose of this paper is to further study the soft-wall AdS/QCD model with constrained IR background. By including a quartic bulk scalar potential we study various meson and nucleon spectra. This model naturally realizes the asymptotical linearity of

On the coupling of vector fields to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant
, 2015 Inflationary models including vector fields have attracted a great deal of attention over the past decade. Such an interest owes to the fact that they might contribute to, or even be fully responsible for, the curvature perturbation imprinted in the CMB.

Transverse Momentum Dependent Partonic Distribution and Fragmentation Functions
, 2011 Our knowledge on the three-dimensional momentum structure of hadrons is encoded in the Transverse Momentum Dependent partonic distribution and fragmentation functions (TMDs). A brief and updated review of the TMDs and of the processes in which they might

Evaluation of Risk Management Methods for Satsuma Mandarin [PDF]
Simulation of production budgets were used to compare net discounted returns and the distribution of returns under alternative risk-mitigation scenarios. Results indicate that the combination of freeze protection and crop insurance increases expected net
