An upper limit to non-Newtonian attractive forces is obtained from the measurement of quantum states of neutrons in the Earth's gravitational field. This limit improves the existing constraints in the nanometer range.

This paper presents a new, simple and effective low-level processing edge detection algorithm based on the law of universal gravity. The algorithm assumes that each image pixel is a celestial body with a mass represented by its grayscale intensity. Accordingly, each celestial body exerts forces onto its neighboring pixels and in return receives forces from the neighboring pixels. These forces c...

Virial theorem is important for understanding stellar structures. It produces an interesting connection between magnetic and gravitational energies. Using the general form of the virial theorem including the magnetic field (toroidal magnetic field), we may explain the solar dynamo model in relation to variations of the magnetic and gravitational energies. We emphasize the role of the gravitatio...

The DaVinci Simulator can be used to analyze the stacking process using different forces and different placements of the fingers. An existing code for block-stacking simulates free fall of blocks. However, a free fall cannot be quasi-static. So, a modified code has been written to include additional forces (applied by the robot fingers) which act opposite to the gravitational force to enable qu...

The possibility of an extrinsic origin for inertial reaction forces has recently seen increased attention in the physical literature. Among theories of extrinsic inertia, the two considered by the current work are (1) the hypothesis that inertia is a result of gravitational interactions, and (2) the hypothesis that inertial reaction forces arise from the interaction of material particles with l...

We report a case of an elderly male with predominant obstructive sleep apnea and who developed or complex sleep apnea (CxSA) at the start of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration. This CxSA was more prominent in supine position, and he was not settling with either CPAP/bilevel positive airway pressure (PAP) in supine position. He finally settled with CPAP along with position ther...

where ε is a positive (viscosity) constant and θ = 1 when we consider a self-consistent field U of electrostatic type produced by a charge density ρ (repulsive forces) or θ = −1 for the gravitational case, in which the self-consistent field is due to the mass distribution (attractive forces). The high-field limit corresponds to a different regime of the physical constants (thermal velocity and ...

Spacetime curvature induces tidal forces on the wave function of a single quantum system. Using a dual light-pulse atom interferometer, we measure a phase shift associated with such tidal forces. The macroscopic spatial superposition state in each interferometer (extending over 16 cm) acts as a nonlocal probe of the spacetime manifold. Additionally, we utilize the dual atom interferometer as a ...

We present a simple unifying gauge theoretical formulation of gravitational theories in two dimensional spacetime. This formulation includes the effects of a novel matter-gravity coupling which leads to an extended de Sitter symmetry algebra on which the gauge theory is based. Contractions of this theory encompass previously studied cases. CTP#2228 UCONN-93-6 August 1993 hep-th/9308021
