Queer Bodies, Queer Lives in China English Contact Literature
Ha Jin and his works have contributed significantly to world Englishes knowledge, both through direct scholarly engagement with contact literatures and through the linguistic creativity exhibited in his works of fiction (Jin 2010).

Azoreductase: a key player of xenobiotic metabolism
Azoreductases are diverse flavoenzymes widely present among microorganisms and higher eukaryotes. They are mainly involved in the biotransformation and detoxification of azo dyes, nitro-aromatic, and azoic drugs.

de Sitter vacua from ten dimensions
We analyze the de Sitter construction of [1] using ten-dimensional supergravity, finding exact agreement with the four-dimensional effective theory. Starting from the fermionic couplings in the D7-brane action, we derive the ten-dimensional stress-energy

A Study of History of Buddhism and its Contribution to Indian Culture
King Asoka (ca. 270-232 BCE) converted to Buddhism. He did not make it a state religion, but supported all ethical religions. He organised the spreading of Buddhism throughout India, but also beyond; most importantly to Shri Lanka.

A natural cosmological constant from chameleons
We present a simple model where the effective cosmological constant appears from chameleon scalar fields. For a Kachru–Kallosh–Linde–Trivedi (KKLT)-inspired form of the potential and a particular chameleon coupling to the local density, patches of ...

Heterotic sigma models on T8 and the Borcherds automorphic form Phi12 [PDF]
We consider the spectrum of BPS states of the heterotic sigma model with (0, 8) supersymmetry and T 8 target, as well as its second-quantized counterpart.

Varieties of English and Kachru’s Expanding Circle
In this overview article, we present the motivations for compiling this issue of RJL and summarize the major premises of the World Englishes (WE) Paradigm. The focus is on the relations between the WE school of thought and the paradigms that branched from it, i.e. English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as an International Language (EIL).

Fixing All Moduli in a Simple F-theory Compactification [PDF]
We discuss a simple example of an F-theory compactification on a Calabi-Yau fourfold where background fluxes, nonperturbative effects from Euclidean D3 instantons and gauge dynamics on D7 branes allow us to fix all closed and open string moduli.

Nonsupersymmetric Dualities from Mirror Symmetry [PDF]
We study supersymmetry breaking perturbations of the simplest dual pair of (2+1)-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric field theories - the free chiral multiplet and N=2 super QED with a single flavor.
