Braneworld black holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The braneworld paradigm provides an interesting framework within which to explore the possibility that our Universe lives in a fundamentally higher dimensional space- time.

Epistemic diversity and the politics of knowledge in plant disease management: Insights from the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in southern Italy

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Xylella fastidiosa is a major plant pathogen affecting crops such as grapes, citrus, almonds, and olives, with potentially severe consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods worldwide. This paper examines the conflict around the management of the X. fastidiosa outbreak affecting olive trees in southern Italy.

Developing and Testing a Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) represents a paradigm shift in the provision of safely managed sanitation services with a framework of three outcomes—equity, safety and sustainability. There are several sanitation financial tools, but none of these fully address all CWIS outcomes. Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool (CWIS‐FiT) is

Weak gravitational lensing with the Square Kilometre Array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the capabilities of various stages of the SKA to perform world-leading weak gravitational lensing surveys. We outline a way forward to develop the tools needed for pursuing weak lensing in the radio band.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ГРАВИТАЦИОННОГО ЛИНЗИРОВАНИЯ НА ФУНКЦИЮ СВЕТИМОСТИ КВАЗАРОВ

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2011
The function of quasar distribution on apparent brightness is discussed. This function is found on base of suggestion that quasars, at least partly, are strong gravitational lensing images of the active nuclei of distant galaxies.

Agglomeration Behavior of Nonmetallic Particles on the Surface of Si‐Killed Liquid Steel Using HT‐CSLM: An In Situ Investigation

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
The in situ agglomeration behavior of semisolid Al–silicate inclusions in Si‐killed steel is studied using high‐temperature confocal scanning laser microscopy. Particle motion and interparticle forces at the steel/argon interface are quantified and compared with a modified capillary interaction model.

Statistical methods in weak gravitational lensing

open access: yes, 2015
This thesis studies several topics in the area of weak gravitational lensing and addresses some key statistical problems within this subject. A large part of the thesis concerns the measurement of galaxy shapes for weak gravitational lensing and the ...

Cosmic tomography with weak gravitational lensing

open access: yes, 2023
We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

THE URBANOLOGISTS COME TO TOWN: Professional Life and Work in the Urban Solutions Industry

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article charts the upsurge of an eclectic global community of professionals new to the field of urban policy and governance, animated by playful and celebratory attitudes towards cities and urbanization: the urbanologists. It contributes to debates in critical urban theory and critical ethnographies of technology to problematize ...
