We present a simple (microscopic) model in which bulk viscosity plays a role in explaining the present acceleration of the universe. The effect of bulk viscosity on the Friedmann equations is to turn the pressure into an "effective" pressure containing the ...
We consider the extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by Dirac masses for the gauginos. We study the possibility that the same singlet S that pairs up with the bino. to form a Dirac fermion, is used to generate it and Bit terms through its ...
High precision measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, as can be expected from the PLANCK satellite, will require high-accuracy theoretical predictions as well. One possible source of theoretical uncertainty is the numerical err ...
Free boundary three-dimensional anisotropic pressure magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with nested magnetic flux surfaces are computed through the minimisation of the plasma energy functional W=∫Vd3x[B2/(2μ0)+p∣∣/(Γ−1)]. ...
The structure and dynamics of the retinal chromophore of rhodopsin are investigated systematically in different environments (vacuum, methanol soln., and protein binding pocket) and with different computational approaches (classical, quantum, and hybrid qu ...
