The Accelerating Universe and a Limiting Curvature Proposal
We consider the hypothesis of a limiting minimal curvature in gravity as a way to construct a class of theories exhibiting late-time cosmic acceleration. Guided by the minimal curvature conjecture (MCC) we are naturally lead to a set of scalar tensor theories in which the scalar is non-minimally coupled to the matter Lagrangian. The model is compared to the Lambda Cold Dark Matter concordance m...
متن کاملCurvature-Limiting Morphological Simplification
Given a planar set S of arbitrary topology and a radius r , we show how to construct an r -tightening of S , which is a set whose boundary has a radius of curvature everywhere greater than or equal to r and which only differs from S in a morphologically-defined tolerance zone we call the mortar. The mortar consists of the thin or highly curved parts of S , such as corners, gaps, and small conne...
متن کاملImplementing Markov ’ S Limiting Curvature Hypothesis
The effective action for gravity at high curvatures is likely to contain higher derivative terms. These corrections may have profound consequences for the singularity structure of space-time and for early Universe cosmology. In this contribution, recent work is reviewed which demonstrates that it is possible to construct a class of effective gravitational actions for which all solutions with su...
متن کاملNonlinear Responses and Optical Limiting Behavior of Ag Nanoparticle Suspension
In this study, the nonlinear optical properties and optical limiting performance of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in distilled water are investigated. The nonlinear absorption coefficient of the colloid is measured by the Z-scan technique. The optical limiting behavior of the AgNP suspension is investigated under exposure to nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. The results show that nonlinear ...
متن کاملPeritonitis: limiting the damage.
Reducing the morbidity associated with peritonitis is one of the major challenges to improve outcomes for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). In the short-term, during the actual episode, patients suffer pain, risk of hospitalization and social inconvenience, with extra and often numerous hospital visits. In one series, peritonitis accounted for 25% of hospital admissions for patients on PD [...
