Simplicial higher-derivative quantum gravity is investigated in two dimensions for a manifold of toroidal topology. The manifold is dynamically triangulated using Regge’s formulation of gravity, with continuously varying edge lengths and fiied coordination number. Critical exponents are estimated by computer simulation on lattices with up to 786432 edges, and compared to the continuum conformal...

in this paper, a new formula is applied for the calculation of gravity anomalies from a cylinder model representing a geological body. compared to conventional methods, this new development allows the cylinder to be freely oriented in space. 38 gravity forward models are produced each of which anomaly attributes are calculated. then a linear relationship is established between attributes and so...

the problem of downward continuation of the gravity field from the earth’s surface to the reference ellipsoid arises from the fact that the solution to the boundary value problem for geoid determination without applying stokes formula is sought in terms of the disturbing potential on the ellipsoid but the gravity observations are only available on the earth’s surface. downward continuation is a...

The gravity field and derivatives generated with the high resolution EIGEN-6C2 gravity model which includes satellite gravity data of GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) has been utilized for geological appraisal of the Singhbhum-Orissa Craton, India. The GOCE only field gravity data and in situ gravity data of the same area have been utilized for comparative assess...

The gravity method is a nondestructive geophysical technique that measures differences in the earth’s gravitational field at specific locations. It has found numerous applications in engineering and environmental studies including locating voids and karst features, buried stream valleys, water table levels and the determination of soil layer thickness. The success of the gravity method depends ...

In a search for a solution of the galaxy rotation problem, a novel view on cosmological gravity is developed. In this view, the origin of gravity is traced back to the basic nuclear field of energy, spread by quarks as elementary pointlike sources. This gives a common basis for gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. After a review on gravimagnetism and t...

We derive the effective four-dimensional gravity action in the RandallSundrum scenario in which two 3-branes of opposite tension reside in a fivedimensional spacetime. The dimensional reduction with the Ansatz for the radion field by Charmousis et al., which solves five-dimensional linearized field equations, results in a class of scalar-tensor gravity theories. In the limit of vanishing radion...

In 1992, E.E.Podkletnov and R.Nieminen find that, under certain conditions, ceramic superconductor with composite structure has revealed weak shielding properties against gravitational force. In classical Newton’s theory of gravity and even in Einstein’s general theory of gravity, there are no grounds of gravitational shielding effects. But in quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational ...

[1] The objectives of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Radio Science Gravity Investigation are to improve knowledge of the static structure and characterize the temporal variability of the Martian gravitational field relevant to the planet’s internal dynamics, the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere, and the orbital evolution of spacecraft at Mars. The investigation will utilize range...
