We consider a class of cosmological fluids that possess properties analogous to those crystalline solids undergoing isotropic deformations. Our research is based on modified log-corrected power-law equation state in the presence bulk viscosity. This formalism represents so-called logotropic fluids, and allows explaining an accelerating late-time universe. In order obtain more detailed picture i...

In a number of groundbreaking publications, John Perry has stressed the importance of avoiding a class of fallacies that he and Barwise (1983) formerly called Fallacies of Misplaced Information and that Perry (2001) now prefers to call subject matter fallacies. One commits a subject matter fallacy when one supposes that: …the content of a statement or belief is wholly constituted by the conditi...

Explaining the origin of neutrino masses clearly requires new physics beyond the Standard Model. I focus on the Seesaw paradigm and discuss a few simplest extensions of the SM that give Majorana masses to the active neutrinos. If realized at TeV scale, seesaw theories could manifest themselves in lepton number violating signatures at both low-energy processes and high-energy collider experiment...

This article addresses what Chalmers called the “hard problem” of explaining consciousness — the problem of experience — in the context of a mediation brain theory in which consciousness is a fundamental feature of physical matter. It presents a novel explanation of how mind-to-brain transmission operates in a way that accounts for the existence of conscious experience. The article explains wha...

We investigate how the masses of singly heavy baryons undergo changes in nuclear matter. The mass spectrum was successfully described a pion-mean field approach even with isospin symmetry breaking, based on which we extend investigation to medium modification baryons. Since all dynamical parameters were determined by explaining SU(3) light and free space, can directly implement density-dependen...

Higgs boson may serve as a portal to new physics beyond the standard model (BSM) which is implied by theoretical naturalness or experimental anomalies. In this note we briefly survey some Higgs-related BSM models, including low energy SUSY (focusing on minimal model), little two-Higgs-doublet models and simplest singlet extensions of sector. For each illustrated model, emphatically elucidate it...

BACKGROUND The medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is an important pathway of the reward system. Two branches have been described using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based tractography: the infero-medial MFB (imMFB) and the supero-lateral MFB (slMFB). Previous studies point to white-matter microstructural alterations of the slMFB in major depressive disorder (MDD) during acute episodes. ...

There is a puzzling contradiction: direct observations favor a low-mass-density universe (0.2 ≤ Ωm ≤ 0.6), but the only model which fits universe structure over more than three orders of magnitude in distance scale has a mix of hot (neutrino) and cold dark matter providing a critical density universe. Models of an open universe (low Ωm) or one adding a cosmological constant (Λ) to provide a cri...
