In their critique of my book, Conner and Page fail to keep in mind that their own theory, the Big Bang, does not have a centre of mass. Thus they overlook an obvious contrast between the Big Bang and my cosmology, the existence of a centre of mass in my theory. The centre is crucial because it causes significant differences in gravitational potential energy between various places. During creati...

We show that in all dimensions > 7 there are closed aspherical manifolds whose fundamental groups have nontrivial center but do not possess any topological circle actions. This disproves a conjectured converse (proposed by Conner and Raymond) to a classical theorem of Borel.

-I investigated spatial characteristics of Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) cluster sites in the Raven Ranger District of the Sam Houston National Forest, Texas. Active cluster sites were larger and closer to other active clusters than inactive ones and had larger gravity interaction values. Inactive sites were significantly more isolated than were active clusters, they were more lik...

Both of these theorems were conjectured by P.E. Conner and J. Hurrelbrink in [4]. Despite the similarity of the statements, the proof for the Theorem 1.2 is somewhat more involved. We will again make use of a graph associated to the primes p1, ..., pk, and we will study its relationship to a new graph associated to the primes lying over p1, ..., pk in Q[ √ −2]. Acknowledgements. I would like to...

The theory of Planned Behaviour is one of the models most frequently used in the literature to explore pro-environmental behaviour including recycling, travel mode choice, energy consumption, water conservation, food choice, and ethical investment (Stern, 2000; Staats, 2003). Armitage and Conner (2001) identified its application in 154 different contexts. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen,...
