Islands in the landscape [PDF]
, 2007 The string theory landscape consists of many metastable de Sitter vacua, populated by eternal inflation. Tunneling between these vacua gives rise to a dynamical system, which asymptotically settles down to an equilibrium state. We investigate the effects

Effect of the lattice misfit on the equilibrium shape of strained islands in Volmer-Weber growth
, 2010 We have studied the effect of the misfit on the equilibrium shape of three-dimensional pyramidal islands grown on a foreign substrate in the case of incomplete wetting (Volmer-Weber mode of growth).

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a severe extra‐articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aimed to externally validate a genetic risk score (GRS) and a combined risk score (CRS) for predicting the risk of RA‐associated PF in an independent cohort of patients with early RA.

Nature’s Eden? The Production and Effects of ‘Pristine’ Nature in the Galápagos Islands [PDF]
Island Studies Journal, 2011 Best known for inspiring Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galápagos Islands are often referred to as an “evolutionary Eden” and celebrated as one of the world’s few remaining bastions of “pristine” nature. However, recent concerns of a crisis of
