Geometric pumping in autophoretic channels
(Royal Society of ChemistrySoft Matter, 2015-05-07)
Many microfluidic devices use macroscopic pressure differentials to overcome viscous friction and generate flows in microchannels.
In this work, we investigate how the chemical and geometric properties of the channel walls ...
Light Sparticles from a Light Singlet in Gauge Mediation
(APSPhysics Review D, 2015-07-10)
We revisit a simple model that combines minimal gauge mediation and the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. We show that one can obtain a 125 GeV Standard Model-likeHiggs boson with stops as light as 1.1 TeV, ...
Dependence on aspect ratio of symmetry breaking for oscillating foils: implications for flapping flight
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015-12-07)
Using two-dimensional direct numerical simulations, we investigate the flow in a fluid of kinematic viscosity ν and density ρ around elliptical foils of density ρ_s with major axis c and minor axis b for three different ...
Estimating the location and size of retinal injections from orthogonal images of an intact retina
(BioMed CentralBMC Neuroscience, 2015-11-21)
Background :
To study the mapping from the retina to the brain, typically a small region of the retina is injected with a dye, which then propagates to the retina's target structures. To determine the location of the ...
Coupled ππ, KK̅ scattering in P-wave and the ρ resonance from lattice QCD
(APSPhysical Review D, 2015-11-02)
We determine elastic and coupled-channel amplitudes for isospin-1 meson-meson scattering in P-wave, by calculating correlation functions using lattice QCD with light quark masses such that m_π = 236 MeV in a cubic volume ...
Graviton time delay and a speed limit for small black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory
(SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2015-11-17)
Camanho, Edelstein, Maldacena and Zhiboedov have shown that gravitons can experience a negative Shapiro time delay, i.e. a time advance, in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. They studied gravitons propagating in singular ...
The resonant π+γ → π+π⁰ amplitude from Quantum Chromodynamics
(APSPhysical Review Letters, 2015-12-08)
We present the first ab initio calculation of a radiative transition of a hadronic resonance within Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We compute the amplitude for ππ → πγ* , as a function of the energy of the ππ pair and the ...
The Quantum Hall Effect in Supersymmetric Chern-Simons Theories
(APSPhysical Review B, 2015-12-15)
We introduce a supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory whose low energy physics is that of the fractional quantum Hall effect. The supersymmetry allows us to solve the theory analytically. We quantise the vortices and, by ...

Classical and quantum solutions in Brans-Dicke cosmology with a perfect fluid
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2016)
We consider the application of group invariant transformations in order to constrain a flat isotropic and homogeneous cosmological model, containing of a Brans-Dicke scalar field and a perfect fluid with a constant equation ...
