Generalization of the Randall-Sundrum Model Using Gravitational Model F(T,Θ) by S. Davood Sadatian, S. M. Hosseini

“…In this letter, we explore a generalized model based on two scenarios including the Randall-Sundrum model and gravity model F(T,Θ). We first study the standard Randall-Sundrum gravitational model and then add a function containing two parameters as torsion and trace energy-momentum tensor to the main action of the model. …”

A classroom study on the perception and production of Basque sibilant fricatives by native speakers of English by Ander Beristain

“…Ten students enrolled in a Beginners’ Basque course and two native speakers of Basque serving as control group undertook a read-aloud task (Experiment 1) followed by an ABX discrimination task (Experiment 2) during Week 5 of classes. Center of Gravity and accuracy scores were extracted. Results show that learners tended to merge the two apical sibilants into an English /s/-like sound. …”

High Pressure Falling Sinker Liquid Viscosity Determination without Supplementary Density Data: A New Approach by Minyu Zeng, Carl Schaschke

“…The viscometer, which involves the downward movement of a cylindrical sinker under the influence of gravity through the liquid contained within a closed tube, avoided the need for density data by repeating the sinker-timing experiments with two geometrically similar but different-sized sinkers thereby allowing the liquid density in the associated formulae to be eliminated. …”

On the Definition of Energy for a Continuum, Its Conservation Laws, and the Energy-Momentum Tensor by Mayeul Arminjon

“…First, we analyze the emergence of a true local conservation equation for the energy of a continuous medium, taking the example of an isentropic continuum in Newtonian gravity. Next, we consider a continuum or a system of fields in special relativity: we recall that the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor contains two local conservation equations of the same kind as before. …”

As Spirits Speak: Interaction in Wauja Exoteric Ritual by Christopher Ball

“…The conversation is facilitated by a group of representatives from the village, consociates who agree to speak as spirits, and in so doing enter into a contractual relationship of exchange with the sick person and the spirits that involves various obligations and rewards that may span a lifetime, in sickness or in health. In view of the gravity of the circumstance and the weight of the obligation it creates, the ritual interaction is a surprisingly inelaborate and quotidian counterpart to Wauja esoteric shamanic practice and elaborate collective rituals involving music and dance. …”
