The holographic induced gravity model with a Ricci dark energy: smoothing the little rip and big rip through Gauss-Bonnet effects?

open access: yes, 2012
We present an holographic brane-world model of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) scenario with and without a Gauss-Bonnet term (GB) in the bulk. We show that an holographic dark energy component with the Ricci scale as the infra-red cutoff can describe ...

Mechanical Fatigue in Liquid‐Metal Interconnects: Failure Mechanism Analysis and Validation of Improvement Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Multi‐million cycle reliability for liquid metal stretchable electronics is achieved through a continuous cycle of mechanical testing, failure mode and mechanism analysis and implementing subsequent mitigation strategies. ABSTRACT Stretchable electronics that combine mechanical compliance with reliable electrical performance are essential for ...

Vertical Distribution of Rip Currents Generated by Intersecting Waves in a Sandbar–Groin Systems

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
To analyze the impacts of groins, sandbars, and channels on the three-dimensional features of rip currents, we conducted experimental investigations on the vertical distribution of rip currents under intersecting waves along barred beaches with channels.

An empirical investigation of labor income processes [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we reassess the evidence on labor income risk. There are two leading views on the nature of the income process in the current literature. The first view, which we call the "Restricted Income Profiles" RIP process, holds that individuals are

Phantom thermodynamics

open access: yes, 2004
This paper deals with the thermodynamic properties of a phantom field in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. General expressions for the temperature and entropy of a general dark-energy field with equation of state $p=\omega\rho$ are derived from

Rips, Currents and Snags

open access: yesAustralian and International Journal of Rural Education, 2012
Monash University (Gippsland campus) is situated in Churchill, Latrobe Valley, located in central Gippsland, eastern Victoria. A large percentage of the Gippsland region comprises of a socio-economically disadvantaged population (Figure 1). In Semester One, 2011 as part of the Bachelor of Primary Education course at Monash, it was decided that a ...

Tradeoff between Smoother and Sooner "Little Rip"

open access: yes, 2013
There exists dark energy models that predict the occurrence of "little rip". At the point of little rip the Hubble rate and its cosmic time derivative approach infinity, which is quite similar to the big rip singularity except that the former happens at ...
