Introduction. We present a toolbox expressly written for MATLAB environment to provide terrain corrections of gravity data. The program performs the complete Bouguer computations, including the Bullard A, Bullard B and Bullard C corrections, from any kind of free air datasets (offshore or on land stations). The gravity contribution due to the relief is computed starting from a gridded topograph...

Persons exposed to high temperature, or to equivalent environmental factors, have quantifiable reactions, such as reducing the resistance to both heat and moisture flow in skin tissues and clothing needed to maintain thermal equilibrium. The one-to-one relationship between this resistance in the walking person and temperature, with the other factors neutral, is the basis for the apparent temper...

The most common spin foam models of gravity are widely believed to be discrete path integral quantizations of the Plebanski action. However, their derivation in present formulations is incomplete and lower dimensional simplex amplitudes are left open to choice. Since the large-spin behavior of these amplitudes determines the convergence properties of the state-sum, this gap has to be closed bef...

We consider the gravity-mediated SUSY breaking within the effective theory of six-dimensional brane-world supergravity. We construct the supersymmetric bulk-brane action by Noether method and find the nontrivial moduli coupling of the brane Fand D-terms. We find that the low energy Kähler potential is not of sequestered form, so gravity mediation may occur at tree level. In moduli stabilization...

gravity and magnetic data are usually processed and interpreted separately, and fully integrated results basically are created in the mind of the interpreter. data interpretation in such a manner requires an interpreter experienced both on topics concerning potential field theory and the geology of the study area. to simplify the joint interpretation of data, the automatic production of auxilia...

We review our calculation of theWeyl anomaly for d-dimensional conformal field theories that have a description in terms of a (d+ 1)-dimensional gravity theory.

The theory of load-induced relaxation of the layered Maxwell half-space is applied to the study of glacioisostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia. The interpretation uses emergence data from Angermanland (Sweden) and uplift-rate data from the Gulf of Bothnia. With mantle viscosity fixed at 10 Pa s, the data can be explained by an earth model characterized by (a) an elastic surface layer of conventi...

4D Einstein gravity coupled to scalars and abelian gauge fields in its 2-Killing vector reduction is shown to be quasi-renormalizable to all loop orders at the expense of introducing infinitely many essential couplings. The latter can be combined into one or two functions of the ‘area radius’ associated with the two Killing vectors. The renormalization flow of these couplings is governed by bet...
