INHERITANCE AND INCEST: TOWARD A LÉVI‐STRAUSSIAN READING OF MONTESQUIEU'S DE L'ESPRIT DES LOIS1
History and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 46-74, March 2025.ABSTRACT The premise of this article is that Montesquieu, while seen as an Enlightenment thinker who contributed centrally to the development of the social sciences before the period of discipline formation in the nineteenth century, is generally appreciated in only the vaguest of terms.

Constraints on Compact Dark Matter from the Nonobservation of Gravitational-wave Strong Lensing
The Astrophysical JournalWe 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 _⊙

The Bianchi identity and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Class.Quant.Grav. 22 (2005) 2921-2932, 2005 We consider the Bianchi identity as a field equation for the distortion of the shapes of images produced by weak gravitational lensing. Using the spin coefficient formalism of Newman and Penrose [1962], we show that certain complex components of the Weyl and Ricci curvature tensors are directly related to fundamental observables in weak gravitational ...

Recent Developments in Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor Theories
Annalen der Physik, Volume 537, Issue 2, February 2025.Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor theories are reviewed, together with their applications in cosmology and astrophysics. These theories have been applied to build models of the early universe, in the description of the late‐time cosmic acceleration, as well as in astrophysics, including black hole physics. They have the potential to provide answers

Metaphilosophy, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 35-51, January 2025.Abstract Some philosophical pluralists argue that a top‐down and a bottom‐up approach serve as equally justified methods for engaging in ontological inquiry. In the top‐down approach, we start with an analysis of theory and extrapolate from there to the world.

Gravitational lensing in braneworld gravity: formalism and applications [PDF]
Class.Quant.Grav.25:045003 (2008), 2007 In this article, we develop a formalism which is different from the standard lensing scenario and is necessary for understanding lensing by gravitational fields which arise as solutions of the effective Einstein equations on the brane. We obtain general expressions for measurable quantities such as time delay, deflection angle, Einstein ring and ...

Light bending and gravitational lensing in Brans-Dicke theory
Physics Letters B, 2019 As an important candidate theory of gravity, Brans-Dicke theory has been widely studied. In this paper, we investigate light bending and gravitational lensing by compact objects in Brans-Dicke theory in weak gravitational field.

Recursion relations for gravitational lensing [PDF]
General Relativity and Gravitation 52 (2020), 3, 2019 The weak gravitational lensing formalism can be extended to the strong lensing regime by integrating a nonlinear version of the geodesic deviation equation. The resulting "roulette" expansion generalises the notion of convergence, shear and flexion to arbitrary order.

Seeking Languagelessness: Maker Literacies Mindsets to Disrupt Normative Practices
Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 298-312, July/August/September 2024.This article challenges an over‐reliance on language as the primary means to communicate knowledge by adopting a languagelessness approach to maker pedagogies and maker literacies. Having conducted makerspace and design‐based research for some time, we separately and together noticed a productive relationship between wordless relational makerspace and ...

Viscosity Measurements at High Pressures: A Critical Appraisal of Corrections to Stokes' Law
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract Fluids and melts in planetary interiors significantly influence geodynamic processes from volcanism to global‐scale differentiation. The roles of these geofluids depend on their viscosities (η). Constraining geofluid η at relevant pressures and temperatures relies on laboratory‐based measurements and is most widely done using Stokes' Law ...
