U‐Net Based Machine Learning for Identification of Auroras in Space‐Based Images
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract We use a Semantic Segmentation based U‐Net model to predict the appearance of various classifications of aurora present in near‐infrared images from the Fast Auroral Imager (FAI) onboard the CASSIOPE satellite. We manually labeled pixels from a set of 4091 FAI near‐infrared images into 7 different classes: no aurora, contaminated, diffuse ...

Higgs Inflation and the Cosmological Constant [PDF]
Acta Physica Polonica B, 2014 The Higgs not only induces the masses of all SM particles, the Higgs, given its special mass value, is the natural candidate for the inflaton and in fact is ruling the evolution of the early universe, by providing the necessary dark energy which remains the dominant energy density.

Why do Public Debates Escalate? Trigger Points and the Moral Dynamics of “Hot Politics”
The British Journal of Sociology, Volume 77, Issue 4, Page 701-712, September 2026.ABSTRACT Escalating, emotionally charged, and moralized forms of controversy are a central feature of contemporary politics. Our study develops a framework for understanding how political debates between ordinary citizens become heated; why certain issues provoke particularly strong emotions; and how this affective potential is weaponized by ...

Starobinsky-Like Inflation and Running Vacuum in the Context of Supergravity
Universe, 2016 We describe the primeval inflationary phase of the early Universe within a quantum field theoretical (QFT) framework that can be viewed as the effective action of vacuum decay in the early times. Interestingly enough, the model accounts for the “graceful

A symmetric DBI action theory and its applications to inflationary cosmology
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 The Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) field theory in string theory is important and can provide the field of the universe’s inflation. At the same time, it provides a causal mechanism for generating the original density perturbation, thereby providing the ...

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

Confronting mukhanov parametrization of inflationary equation-of-State with ACT-DR6
Nuclear Physics BWe provide a simple yet effective semi-analytical approach to confront Mukhanov Parametrization of inflationary equation-of-state, 1+ω=β(N+1)α, with the latest ACT-DR6 data employing Hamilton-Jacobi formulation.

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Emancipation Day commemorates the end of slavery and is observed annually by African Guyanese on the first Monday in August. Celebrations provide a space to honor ancestors, express gratitude, mourn, and engage in cultural rejuvenation through communal activities such as night vigils, libation ceremonies, drumming, dancing, and pilgrimages to ...
