1172. Dendrobium chryseum Rolfe
Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.Summary Dendrobium chryseum is a widespread orchid from continental tropical Asia and Taiwan with a confused taxonomical history. In addition to its horticultural merits and its use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this species has significant cultural importance among the Tsou people of Taiwan. Notes on pollination, cultivation, taxonomy, distribution,

Observational Constraints on Loop Quantum Cosmology
Physical Review Letters, 2011 In the inflationary scenario of loop quantum cosmology in the presence of inverse-volume corrections, we give analytic formulas for the power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations convenient to compare with observations. Since inverse-volume corrections can provide strong contributions to the running spectral indices, inclusion of terms higher ...

On the physical basis of cosmic time [PDF]
, 2008 In this manuscript we initiate a systematic examination of the physical basis for the time concept in cosmology. We discuss and defend the idea that the physical basis of the time concept is necessarily related to physical processes which could ...

Marxism and Decolonizing Praxis: From Decolonial Misinterpretations to Marxist Contributions
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article intervenes in postcolonial and decolonial critiques that portray Karl Marx and Marxism as intrinsically Eurocentric and inattentive to race, colonialism and non‐European revolutionary agency. It argues that such critiques often rely on selective, historically limited interpretations that overlook Marx's later writings, in which he

Effects of Type Ia Supernovae Absolute Magnitude Priors on the Hubble Constant Value
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe systematically explore the influence of the prior of the peak absolute magnitude ( M ) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) on the measurement of the Hubble constant ( H _0 ) from SNe Ia observations.

Benefits of Objective Collapse Models for Cosmology and Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2013 We display a number of advantages of objective collapse theories for the resolution of long-standing problems in cosmology and quantum gravity. In particular, we examine applications of objective reduction models to three important issues: the origin of ...

Antinomies of Nativism: Understanding Decoloniality Theory's Affinities with the Global Far Right
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the peculiar conjuncture of decolonial theory and contemporary far‐right ideology. It argues that their shared fixation on the dualism of native and settler is immanent to the development of advanced capitalism, particularly the sharpening of its contradictory tendency to undermine labour as the source of value, and to ...

Undermining the cosmological principle: almost isotropic observations in inhomogeneous cosmologies
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 We challenge the widely held belief that the cosmological principle is an obvious consequence of the observed isotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, combined with the Copernican principle. We perform a detailed analysis of a class of inhomogeneous perfect fluid cosmologies admitting an isotropic radiation field, with a view to assessing
