Fire effects on soils: the human dimension [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Soils are among the most valuable non-renewable resources on the Earth. They support natural vegetation and human agro-ecosystems, represent the largest terrestrial organic carbon stock, and act as stores and filters for water. Mankind has impacted on soils from its early days in many different ways, with burning being the first human perturbation at ...

Discrete Gravitational Dimensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We study the physics of a single discrete gravitational extra dimension using the effective field theory for massive gravitons. We first consider a minimal discretization with 4D gravitons on the sites and nearest neighbor hopping terms.

Temporal Dimensions and Measurement of Neighbourhood Effects [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2012
We conduct a panel analysis quantifying the degree to which the mixture of low-income, middle-income, and high-income males in the neighbourhood affects the subsequent labour income of individuals, and test the degree to which these effects vary by timing (lagging up to three years), duration (one to four years), and cumulative amount of exposure and ...

Unique Neutrino Mass Operator at any Mass Dimension

open access: yes, 2010
When the standard model is viewed as a low energy effective theory, the neutrinos can obtain mass from higher dimensional operators. It has been known for long that such an operator first appears at mass dimension five and that it is unique. Here we show

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Spaces with Constant Negative Curvature

open access: yes, 1999
By using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we study dynamical symmetry breaking in spaces with constant negative curvature. We show that the physical reason for zero value of critical coupling value $g_c = 0$ in these spaces is connected with the effective ...

Effective Field Theory for Dark Matter Direct Detection up to Dimension Seven

open access: yes, 2017
We present the full basis of effective operators relevant for dark matter direct detection, up to and including operators of mass dimension seven. We treat the cases where dark matter is either a Dirac fermion, a Majorana fermion, a complex scalar, or a ...

The effect of anisotropic extra dimension in cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of the Dark Universe, 2018
We consider five dimensional conformal gravity theory which describes an anisotropic extra dimension. Reducing the theory to four dimensions yields Brans-Dicke theory with a potential and a hidden parameter $z$ which implements the anisotropy between the four dimensional spacetime and the extra dimension. We find that a range of value of the parameter $

Neutrinoless double beta decay in chiral effective field theory: lepton number violation at dimension seven

open access: yes, 2017
We analyze neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Apart from the dimension-five Weinberg operator, the first contributions appear at dimension seven.
