From Withering to Flourishing: Repairing Academia Through Holistic and Sustainable Care Practices

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are scholars and educators committed to embracing care while working within colonialist, neoliberal, and performative academic environments, and we are withering. Our withering is balanced against our inner strength, a fierce belief in connection and community, and a commitment to harnessing the power of transformation.

Theological Doctrines as Scientific Theories? Thinking along with and beyond McGrath

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract McGrath's recent analysis of the parallels between scientific theory formation and the development of theological doctrine in The Nature of Christian Doctrine (OUP, 2024) is insightful and largely compelling, but also raises some questions and areas for further exploration. First, there is a remarkable back‐and‐forth between uses of ‘doctrine’

Brane inflation: A field theory approach in background supergravity

open access: yes, 2012
We propose a model of inflation in the framework of brane cosmology driven by background supergravity. Starting from bulk supergravity we construct the inflaton potential on the brane and employ it to investigate for the consequences to inflationary ...

Modified Friedmann cosmologies—Theory and observations

open access: yesAnnals of Physics, 2005
We investigate a class of Cardassian scenarios of the universe evolution in notions of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems. This theory allows us to analyze all solutions for all possible initial conditions on the phase plane. In the Cardassian models we find that big-rip singularities are present as a typical behavior in the future if $n<0$.

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Challenges to Inflation in the Post-Planck Era

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Space-based missions studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have progressively refined the parameter space in conventional models of inflation shortly (∼10 ^−37 s) after the Big Bang.

Is Planckian Discreteness Observable in Cosmology?

open access: yesUniverse
A Planck scale inflationary era—in a quantum gravity theory predicting discreteness of quantum geometry at the fundamental scale—produces the scale-invariant spectrum of inhomogeneities with a very small tensor-to-scalar ratio of perturbations and a hot big bang leading to a natural dark matter genesis scenario. Here, we evoke the possibility that some

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Constraints on Coasting Cosmological Models from Gravitational-wave Standard Sirens

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first test of coasting cosmological models with gravitational-wave (GW) standard sirens observed in the first three observing runs of the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detector network. We apply the statistical galaxy catalog method adapted to coasting
