Corner reflectors and Quantum-Non-Demolition Measurements in gravitational wave antennae

open access: yes, 2004
We propose Fabry-Perot cavity with corner reflectors instead of spherical mirrors to reduce the contribution of thermoelastic noise in the coating which is relatively large for spherical mirrors and which prevents the sensitivity better than Standard ...

Sacred Mediators of the Xirong: Ritual Specialists and Cosmological Power in the Majiayuan Cemetery

open access: yesReligions
This study reinterprets a selection of elite tombs at the Majiayuan Cemetery (4th–3rd centuries BCE) as belonging to Xirong ritual specialists. Analysis reveals a stratified ritual system: beaded caps served as widespread elite cosmograms, while ...

“To ask essential questions?” Bonhoeffer, America, South Africa [PDF]

open access: yesPharos Journal of Theology, 2019
The first part of the essay is a biographical sketch of Bonhoeffer’s visits to America. His essays reflecting on these visits will be probed in the second part, where the focus will particularly be on the essay that Bonhoeffer wrote at the end of his ...

Generation of a Purely Single Transverse Mode Vortex Beam from a He-Ne Laser Cavity with a Spot-Defect Mirror

open access: yesInternational Journal of Optics, 2012
Spot-defect mirrors were fabricated by focusing laser pulses on the surface of conventional dielectric mirrors. These mirrors were used as rear mirrors of a He-Ne laser cavity for generating a vortex beam. The intensity distribution of the beam generated

G 2 mirrors from Calabi-Yau mirrors

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We study the worldsheet CFTs of type II strings on compact G 2 orbifolds obtained as quotients of a product of a Calabi-Yau threefold and a circle. For such models, we argue that the Calabi-Yau mirror map implies a mirror map for the associated G 2 ...

Mirror, mirror

open access: yes, 2005
The article examines the relationship between political forms and cultural identity. It sets out to explore the way in which notions of ‘democracy' and despotism are associated with distinct cultural formations. The identity of a political regime is less a matter of its political practices and procedures and more a function of the extent to which it ...
