BICEP2 observations, interpreted most simply, suggest an era of inflation with energy densities of order (1016GeV)4, not far below the Planck density. However, models of TeV gravity with large extra dimensions might allow a very different interpretation involving much more modest energy scales. We discuss the viability of inflation in such models, and conclude that existing scenarios do not pro...

Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is found in certain rural areas of the Balkans and affects at least 25,000 inhabitants. Of the many hypotheses on BEN, the Aristolochia hypothesis has recently gained ground substantiated by the investigations on aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). On both clinical and morphological grounds, AAN is very similar to BEN. That exposure to aristolochic acid (AA) of...

in this study, the role of interaction of pi electrons on the strength of simultaneous σ-hole interactions (pnicogen, chalcogen and halogen bonds) is investigated using the quantum chemical calculations. x-ben||taz∙∙∙y1,y2,y3 complexes (x = cn, f, cl, br, ch3 , oh and nh2, taz= s-triazine and y1,y2 and y3 denotes ph2f, hsf, and clf molecules) is introduced as a model. the results show that inte...
