A redshift-dependent colour–luminosity relation in Type 1a supernovae
(Oxford University Press, 2014-01-09)Type 1a supernova magnitudes are used to fit cosmological parameters under the assumption that the model will fit the observed redshift dependence. We test this assumption with the Union 2.1 compilation of 580 sources. ... -
Effect of foregrounds on the cosmic microwave background radiation multipole alignment
(Oxford University Press, 2011-06-08)We analyse the effect of foregrounds on the observed alignment of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) quadrupole and octopole. The alignment between these multipoles is studied by using a symmetry-based approach ... -
Signals of statistical anisotropy in WMAP foreground-cleaned maps
(Oxford University Press, 2009-06-03)Recently, a symmetry-based method to test for statistical isotropy of the cosmic microwave background was developed. We apply the method to template-cleaned 3- and 5-years Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe-Differencing ... -
Testing isotropy of cosmic microwave background radiation
(Oxford University Press, 2008-03-13)We introduce new symmetry-based methods to test for isotropy in cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Each angular multipole is factored into unique products of power eigenvectors, related multipoles and singular ... -
What Can We Learn from Entanglement and Quantum Tomography?
(MDPI, 2022-11-12)Entanglement has become a hot topic in nuclear and particle physics, although many physicists are not sure they know what it means. We maintain that an era of understanding and using quantum mechanics on a dramatically new ... -
The Status and Future of Color Transparency and Nuclear Filtering
(MDPI, 2022-05-20)Fourty years after its introduction, the phenomenon of color transparency remains a domain of controversial interpretations of experimental data. In this review, present evidence for or against color transparency manifestation ... -
The Dirac form factor predicts the Pauli form factor in the Endpoint Model
(SpringerOpen, 2016-07-04)We compute the momentum-transfer dependence of the proton Pauli form factor 𝐹2 in the Endpoint overlap Model. We find the model correctly reproduces the scaling of the ratio of 𝐹2 with the Dirac form factor 𝐹1 observed ... -
Uncovering the scaling laws of hard exclusive hadronic processes in a comprehensive endpoint model
(SpringerOpen, 2014-08-12)We show that an endpoint-overlap model can explain the scaling laws observed in exclusive hadronic reactions at large momentum transfer. The model assumes one of the valence quarks carries most of the hadron momentum. ... -
Evidence for Evolution or Bias in Host Extinctions of Type 1a Supernovae at High Redshift
(American Astronomical Society, 2006-01-20)Type 1a supernova magnitudes conventionally include an additive parameter called the extinction coefficient. We find that the extinction coefficients of a popular "gold" set are well correlated with the deviation of ... -
Hollow Galactic Halos of Fermionic Dark Matter
(American Astronomical Society, 1991-01-20)Fermi statistics and velocity anisotropy give a surprisingly rich structure to massive neutrino dark matter halos. If a spherically symmetric halo has an anisotropic phase space, then hollow halos with a minimum of the ... -
Direct determination of astronomical distances and proper motions by interferometric parallax
(EDP Sciences, 2008-04-28)Aims. We discuss a new method for measuring the distances to astronomical objects and their transverse proper velocities. Methods. The phenomenon of interferometric parallax identifies a component of 2- and 4-point ... -
Evaluation of Multiple Corrosion Protection Systems for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Decks
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2023-07)This study evaluated the corrosion resistance of epoxy-coated (ASTM A775), hot-dip galvanized (ASTM A767), and continuously galvanized (ASTM A1094) reinforcement, and the conventional reinforcement (ASTM A615) used to ... -
Effects of Total Internal Water Content on Freeze-Thaw Durability and Scaling Resistance of Internally-Cured Concrete
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2023-07)The effects of total internal (TI) water, provided by normalweight coarse and fine aggregates and pre-wetted fine lightweight aggregate (LWA), in the range of 6.8 to 17.3%, corresponding to internal curing (IC) water in ... -
Evidence for Two Mechanisms to Account for the Speech to Song Illusion, the Verbal Transformation Effect, and the Sound to Music Illusion
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-07-25)Introduction Five studies examined the speech to song illusion, the verbal transformation effect, and the sound to music illusion in order to determine if they were distinct phenomena and to assess if they could be accounted ... -
Improving Energy Efficiency in Collection Storage in Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas, PF-271970-20.
(2023-07-28)The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded the University of Kansas (KU) Libraries a Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections Implementation Grant to complete the second phase of a multi-phased approach to ... -
Breaking Barriers: Diversity and Equity in Chemistry
(University of Kansas, 2023-07)The field of chemistry has long been associated with the pursuit of objective facts and the uncovering of the building blocks of our universe. However, this view can often exclude the important role that diversity, equity, ... -
Indigenous Concepts of ‘Living Systems’: Aristotelian ‘Soul’ meets Constructal Theory
(Society of Ethnobiology, 2015-08-14)I examine similarities among the ways of thinking concerning the natural world of Indigenous peoples of North America and Australia and two aspects of Western Science from different historical periods. The first comparison ... -
The Role of Myth in Understanding Nature
(Society of Ethnobiology, 2016-12-31)Use of metaphor embodies myth in Western science and Native American traditional knowledge traditions about understanding the “natural” world and the nonhuman “other.” Using personal history, I compare a myth/metaphor from ... -
World Views and the Concept of “Traditional”
(Society of Ethnobiology, 2018-11-28)Whether individuals hold static or dynamic worldviews underlies a number of contemporary controversies, including evolution/creationist debates, the reality of climate change, and application of treaty rights by Indigenous ...
