On Power Law Inflation in DBI Models [PDF]

, 2007
Inflationary models in string theory which identify the inflaton with an open string modulus lead to effective field theories with non-canonical kinetic terms: Dirac-Born-Infeld scalar field theories.

Numerical investigation of the cavitation performance of annular jet pumps with different profiles of suction chamber and throat inlet

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2020
To find the influence of the suction chamber and throat inlet profiles on the cavitation performance of an annular jet pump (AJP), a numerical method using a combination of the realizable k–ϵ turbulence model and the Schnerr–Sauer cavitation model was ...

Geometric structure of the generic static traversable wormhole throat [PDF]

, 1997
Traversable wormholes have traditionally been viewed as intrinsically topological entities in some multiply connected spacetime. Here, we show that topology is too limited a tool to accurately characterize a generic traversable wormhole: in general one ...

Wormholes Immersed in Rotating Matter

, 2017
We demonstrate that rotating matter sets the throat of an Ellis wormhole into rotation, allowing for wormholes which possess full reflection symmetry with respect to the two asymptotically flat spacetime regions.

A sore throat

Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2020
The authors report an unusual case of penetrating anterior neck injury in a 71-year-old female patient, who intentionally stabbed herself in a suicide attempt. The initial clinical and radiological assessment revealed that the knife had pierced through the sixth vertebral body and spinal cord, avoiding all the vital structures on the way.
