The weakly perturbed Schwarzschild lens in the strong deflection limit

open access: yes, 2006
We investigate the strong deflection limit of gravitational lensing by a Schwarzschild black hole embedded in an external gravitational field. The study of this model, analogous to the Chang & Refsdal lens in the weak deflection limit, is important to ...

A first constraint on the average mass of ultra-diffuse galaxies from weak gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The recent discovery of thousands of ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in nearby galaxy clusters has opened a new window into the process of galaxy formation and evolution.

Measuring Bending Rigidity and Compression Resistance in Pickering Layers

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents the mechanical response of Pickering layers of polystyrene beads (PBs) and clay particles (CPs) under compression. PBs exhibit buckling at 40–70 mN/m, whereas CPs show no buckling. Experimental force–compression curves highlight distinct deformation behaviors, and deviations in bending rigidity emphasize interparticle ...

Particle dynamics and gravitational weak lensing around black hole in the Kalb-Ramond gravity

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal C, 2022
In this paper, we have studied the particle dynamics, gravitational lensing and energy processes around the black hole (BH) in Kalb–Ramond (KR) gravity.

The Political Determination of Gaza's Health System Destruction and Reconstruction and the Limitations of International Medical Deployments

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gaza's health system has been devastated by a confluence of political determinants that long predated the 2023–25 Israeli military assault and were dramatically intensified during it. Using historical, political economy, ethical, and health systems lenses, this article argues that settler colonialism, military occupation, and a protracted ...

A deconstruction of methods to derive one-point lensing statistics

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Gravitational lensing is a crucial tool for exploring cosmic phenomena, providing insights into galaxy clustering, dark matter, and dark energy. Given the substantial computational demands of $N$-body simulations, approximate methods like $\texttt ...

Weak lensing of large scale structure in the presence of screening

open access: yes, 2015
A number of alternatives to general relativity exhibit gravitational screening in the non-linear regime of structure formation. We describe a set of algorithms that can produce weak lensing maps of large scale structure in such theories and can be used ...

KiDS-i-800: Comparing weak gravitational lensing measurements from same-sky surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a weak gravitational lensing analysis of 815 deg of i-band imaging from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-i-800). In contrast to the deep r-band observations, which take priority during excellent seeing conditions and form the primary KiDS data set

Executive Function and Entrepreneurial Opportunity Exploitation Under Risk and Uncertainty

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how executive functions shape entrepreneurial opportunity exploitation under different knowledge environments. Drawing on Knight's distinction between risk and uncertainty, we conducted a vignette experiment with 200 working adults.
