Previous studies have focused on the differences in the art appreciation process between individuals, and indicated that novice viewers of artworks, in comparison to experts, rarely consider the creation process of the artwork or how this may relate to style. However, behavioral changes in individuals after educational interventions have not been examined. Art education researchers claim that t...

We study cosmological defect formation induced by brane creation after brane inflation. Contrary to the previous arguments, production of monopoles and domain walls are not negligible. Monopoles and domain walls are formed by the creation of daughter branes that are extended between mother branes.

background : chronic kidney disease (ckd) is a complicated kidney problem causing permanent renal failure in progressive stages. the final stage of ckd is called esrd in which most accepted management is hemodialysis (hd). arterio-venus fistula (avf) is the most practical way of making proper access to the blood circulatory system however, maturation of the avf is a challenge, since there are n...

After the discussion on the questions: “What is knowledge?” and “What is knowledge science?” we briefly introduce a systems methodology for knowledge integration and creation. Then, we present mathematical modeling techniques to express and manage human knowledge that is essentially vague and context-dependent. Finally, we consider the main theme on the role of information technology in knowled...

Two processes of matter creation after inflation: 1) gravitational creation of superheavy (quasi)stable particles, and 2) non-thermal phase transitions leading to formation of topological defects, may be relevant to the resolution of the puzzle of cosmic rays observed with energies beyond GZK cut-off. Both possibilities are reviewed in this talk.

We study the semiclassical particle creation in the preheating phase after inflation. We work in the long-wavelength limit, in which all fields are considered homogeneous. The particle creation is shown to be intrinsically connected to the existence of chaos in the system. Typeset using REVTEX ∗Email address: [email protected] †Email address: [email protected] 1
