On the propagation of the highest energy cosmic ray nuclei [PDF]
We study the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic ray nuclei through the background of cosmic microwave and intergalactic infrared photons, using recent re-estimates for the density of the last ones.

Nearby quasar remnants and ultra-high energy cosmic rays [PDF]
As recently suggested, nearby quasar remnants are plausible sites of black-hole based compact dynamos that could be capable of accelerating ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs).

The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Future of Ultraviolet Astronomy [PDF]
I describe the capabilities of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, scheduled for May 2009 installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. With a factor-of-ten increase in far-UV throughput for moderate resolution spectroscopy, COS will enable a range of ...

A 5G Beam Selection Machine Learning Algorithm for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Applications
The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) emerged into a promising research trend within the recurrent year where current and future networks are to use enhanced connectivity in these digital immigrations in different fields like medical, communication, and search and rescue operations among others.

Long‐Range Scalar Forces in Five‐Dimensional General Relativity
We present new results regarding the long‐range scalar field that emerges from the classical Kaluza unification of general relativity and electromagnetism. The Kaluza framework reproduces known physics exactly when the scalar field goes to one, so we studied perturbations of the scalar field around unity, as is done for gravity in the Newtonian limit ...

Antigravity, an Answer to Nature’s Phenomena including the Expansion of the Universe
The gravitational attraction force being proportional to the mass has been experimentally shown for several hundred years now, but no gravitational repulsion has been identified within the accepted scientific reasoning. Here, we show that the gravitational repulsion force, similar to the gravitational attraction among particles has also been in ...

We investigate the delayed, secondary GeV-TeV emission of gamma-ray bursts and its potential to probe the nature of intergalactic magnetic fields. Geometrical effects are properly taken into account for the time delay between primary high energy photons ...

The Radiative Feedback of the First Cosmological Objects
In hierarchical models of structure formation, an early cosmic UV background (UVB) is produced by the small (T_vir < 10^4 K) halos that collapse before reionization. The UVB at energies below 13.6eV suppresses the formation of stars or black holes inside

Computer Simulations of Cosmic Reionization
The cosmic reionization of hydrogen was the last major phase transition in the evolution of the universe, which drastically changed the ionization and thermal conditions in the cosmic gas.
