Large N wormhole approach to spacetime foam [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by $N$ wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. We show that the qualitative behaviour of the fluctuation of the metric conjectured by Wheeler is here reproduced.Comment: Revtex 3.0 ...

Simulative and dissimulative masking: Resolving how educational practice that protects neurodivergent people from harm can suppress learning

open access: yesBritish Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The issue of how best to support neurodivergent learners with high need in educational settings has received much attention, with many questioning how an individual can be safeguarded while maintaining their autonomy. Using Participatory Action Research (PAR), the authors draw on the experiences of neurodivergent learners, and their families ...

Rings sliding on a honeycomb network: Adsorption contours, interactions, and assembly of benzene on Cu(111)

open access: yes, 2009
Using a van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)], we perform ab initio calculations for the adsorption energy of benzene (Bz) on Cu(111) as a function of lateral position and height. We find that the vdW-DF inclusion

Post‐Release Survival of the Pelagic Stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea, Bonaparte, 1832) in French Longline Fisheries in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bycatch remains a critical challenge in global fisheries, even when using selective gears such as longlines. In the French longline fishery targeting Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the Gulf of Lion, the common pelagic stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea) is the primary bycatch species.

The Assessment of a Building’s insurable Value using Multivariate Statistics: The Case of the Czech Republic

open access: yesReal Estate Management and Valuation, 2019
When concluding a property insurance agreement, adjustment of the insured amount poses a certain risk. From the policyholder’s point of view, the risk measure translates into the chosen target amount, which should correspond to the insurable value.

Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy studies of graphite edges

open access: yes, 2005
We studied experimentally and theoretically the electronic local density of states (LDOS) near single step edges at the surface of exfoliated graphite. In scanning tunneling microscopy measurements, we observed the $(\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}) R 30^{\circ}

Estimating the two-particle $K$-matrix for multiple partial waves and decay channels from finite-volume energies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An implementation of estimating the two-to-two $K$-matrix from finite-volume energies based on the L\"uscher formalism and involving a Hermitian matrix known as the "box matrix" is described.

Modeling the Impacts of Self‐Sufficiency Scenarios on Norwegian National Nutrient Supply

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
Food and nutrient flows through national food systems have important implications for national self‐sufficiency. Here, we examine food and nutrient flows through the Norwegian food system currently and under various possible scenarios. ABSTRACT As a part of the Norwegian strategy to meet the commitments they have made through international climate ...

Towards Specialization or Extension? Searching for Valuation Services Models Using Cluster Analysis

open access: yesReal Estate Management and Valuation, 2019
The paper delivers original data on specialization in property valuation services in Poland. Its aim is to identify relatively homogeneous groups of property appraisers taking into consideration the scope of services performed by them and the types of ...

Navigating Academic Integrity in Doctoral Education: A Study of Misconduct in Doctoral Defence Practices in Mongolia

open access: yesHigher Education Quarterly, Volume 80, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Doctoral defences play a critical role in safeguarding the integrity and credibility of doctoral education. In Mongolia, however, defence practices, administered through centralised committees rooted in Soviet academic traditions, face significant structural, cultural, and ethical challenges.
