Accelerated expansion from a non-minimal gravitational coupling to matter

open access: yes, 2010
It is shown that a non-minimal coupling between the scalar curvature and the matter Lagrangian density may account for the accelerated expansion of the Universe and provide, through mimicking, for a viable unification of dark energy and dark matter.

Inflation with a massive vector field nonminimally coupled to gravity

open access: yes, 2016
We study the possibility that inflation is driven by a massive vector field with SO(3) global symmetry nonminimally coupled to gravity. From an E^3-invariant Robertson-Walker metric we propose an Ansatz for the vector field, allowing us to study the ...

Gravitational collapse in non-minimally coupled gravity: finite density singularities and the breaking of the no-hair theorem

open access: yes, 2012
In this work we study the dynamics of gravitational collapse of a homogeneous dust sphere in a model exhibiting a linear non-minimal coupling between matter and curvature. The evolution of the scale factor and the matter density is obtained for different

Topological encounters in biodiversity conservation: Making and contesting maps in the Colombian high Andean páramos

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Páramos are one of the flagship ecosystems in the Northern Andes; the provision of water for millions of people in this region depends on these unique high mountains located at above 3,500 m of altitude.

Probing the Flyby Anomaly with the future STE-QUEST mission

open access: yes, 2012
In this study, we demonstrate that the flyby anomaly, an unexpected acceleration detected in some of the gravitational assists of the Galileo, NEAR, Cassini and Rosetta spacecraft, could be probed by accurate orbital tracking available in the proposed ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Review of the subprovinces and districts of the Páramo biogeographic province, northern South America

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2021
Some recent contributions to the biogeographic regionalization of the Páramo province are reviewed and compared. As a result, a consensus regionalization is proposed, recognizing 6 subprovinces and 11 districts: Páramos del Norte subprovince (Sierra ...

Using global positioning systems to test extensions of General Relativity

open access: yes, 2011
We consider the feasibility of using the Galileo Navigation Satellite System to constrain possible extensions or modifications to General Relativity, by assessing the impact of the related additions to the Newtonian potential and comparing with the ...
