Understanding Atrial Fibrillation Complexity Through the Lens of Turbulence Dynamics: Implications for Treatment Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Its incidence increases significantly with age and has become a major global public health issue. Although research into the mechanisms of AF has spanned over a century‐ranging from the reentry theory to the rotor hypothesis‐none of these

Exploring Weak Gravitational Lensing Effects by a Regular Black Hole

open access: yesSpektra: Jurnal Fisika dan Aplikasinya
Gravitational lensing is one of the physical consequences of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which has been observationally confirmed. This work aims to study the weak gravitational lensing scenario where the lens is a spherically symmetric ...

Describing variations of the Fisher-matrix across parameter space

open access: yes, 2016
Forecasts in cosmology, both with Monte-Carlo Markov-chain methods and with the Fisher matrix formalism, depend on the choice of the fiducial model because both the signal strength of any observable as well as the model nonlinearities linking observables

On the Electromagnetic Energy Flow Along Geodesics

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We present a field‐theoretic framework for modeling electromagnetic energy propagation in heterogeneous media by introducing the concept of electromagnetic geodesics. Unlike traditional ray optics, which assumes either a straight‐line propagation or a simple bending in refractive media, our approach formulates wave propagation as geodetic ...

Observations of Small‐Scale Heterogeneity in the Upper Mantle Beneath Old Oceanic Lithosphere

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract We present tomographic images of the velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath old (∼90 ${\sim} 90$ Ma) oceanic lithosphere, derived from arrival time measurements of teleseismic body waves recorded by ocean‐bottom seismometers. Differential travel time measurements on P, S, and SKS body waves across a wide range of frequency bands show ...

Constraints on Compact Dark Matter from the Nonobservation of Gravitational-wave Strong Lensing

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We use the nonobservation of strong lensing of gravitational waves (GWs) in the first three observation runs of the LIGO and Virgo detectors to constrain the fraction of dark matter in the form of compact objects (COs) in the mass range 10 ^6 −10 ^9 M _⊙

Gravitational Effects on the Neutrino Oscillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied. A method of calculating a covariant quantum-mechanical phase in a curved space-time is presented.

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

Strong field limit analysis of gravitational retro-lensing

open access: yes, 2003
We present a complete treatment in the strong field limit of gravitational retro-lensing by a static spherically symmetric compact object having a photon sphere.

Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban nature and landscape design within a £1.5 billion regeneration project that is currently unfolding in Thamesmead, a town in south‐east London. It develops the notion of ‘staged ecologies’ to examine how urban nature is being spatially and aesthetically arranged across the town's ...
