Living Reviews in Relativity, 2001 This is a review of the physics and cosmology of the cosmological constant. Focusing on recent developments, I present a pedagogical overview of cosmology in the presence of a cosmological constant, observational constraints on its magnitude, and the ...

Exposing and Challenging “Grit” in Physics Education
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In STEM education, grit is increasingly the focus of research, with scholars and educators seeking to develop and test interventions that will enhance persistence. As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, in this paper, we use interviews with 12 white physics faculty to show ...

Observational signatures of a non-singular bouncing cosmology [PDF]
, 2011 We study a cosmological scenario in which inflation is preceded by a bounce. In this scenario, the primordial singularity, one of the major shortcomings of inflation, is replaced by a non-singular bounce, prior to which the universe undergoes a phase of ...

Cosmological Models and Observation
, 2005 In this work we give a detailed discussion of the basic theory and current observational status of cosmology. We introduce gauge-invariant perturbation theory to derive the linear perturbation equations and use a matrix formalism to find suitable initial conditions for numerical integration.

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This chapter simultaneously tells a story and examines the process of storytelling as it shares ideas about the decolonization of drama, theatre, and performance provoked by participating in a Disrupting interview process that included an individual interview and a land‐based medicine walk.

The Frontiers of Observational Cosmology and the Confrontation with Theory
, 2011 The current state of observational cosmology and the confrontation with theory is presented. The review is divided into the following sections: Basic observations on which the models are based.

Gravitational baryogenesis in DGP brane cosmology
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 We consider the imbalance of matter and antimatter by using a gravitational baryogenesis mechanism in the background of Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) brane cosmology.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.In this article, I delve into the field diary of Ma Changshou – a major Chinese ethnohistorian and social anthropologist active between the 1930s and 1960s – to show how his journeys through Liangshan, a mountainous land in Southwest China inhabited by the Nuosu‐Yi, led to a new kind of anthropological knowledge.

Challenges to Inflation in the Post-Planck Era
The Astrophysical JournalSpace-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.
