We construct exact solutions to Einstein equations which represent relativistic disks imbedded in an expanding FRW Universe. It is shown that the expansion influences the kinematical characteristics of the disks such as rotational curves, surface mass density, etc. The effects of the expansion are exemplified with non-static generalizations of Kuzmin-Curzon and Schwarzschild disks.

Previous research has indicated that memories can be modified in conjunction with one’s attitudes, in particular, political beliefs. The current study extended this finding by focusing on the relationship between differing religious beliefs and false memories for news events. We predicted that religious people would be more inclined to remember fabricated news events positively depicting religi...

A multilevel, multi-theoretical model of transactive memory was developed by integrating the emergence model with social capital theories. Empirical tests showed that individual social capital significantly impacted the development of the micro-level component of transactive memories, but collective social capital did not significantly influence the development of macrolevel transactive memorie...

Abstract This paper explores the productive role that social network platforms such as Facebook, play in practice of memory-making. While facilitate interaction across distance and time, they also solidify human self-expression memory-making by systematically confronting users with their digital past. By relying on framework postphenomenology, analysis will scrutinize mediating Memories feature...

The performance of micro-mixers is evaluated in terms of deviations from perfectly mixed state and mixing length (i.e., device length required to achieve perfect mixing). Different variations of T-mixer are reported for improved mixing performance, including geometric constrictions/obstacles embedded in the channel wall, heterogeneously charged walls, grooves on channel base, etc. Most of the r...

Psychological research into spontaneous or intrusive cognitions has typically focused on cognitions in one predefined domain, such as obsessional thoughts in OCD, intrusive memories in posttraumatic stress disorder and depression, or involuntary autobiographical memories and daydreaming in everyday life. Such studies have resulted in a wealth of knowledge about these specific cognitions. Howeve...

As noted in earlier chapters, many CMI advocates argue that marketdriven commercial R&D has surpassed military R&D in diverse technology areas. The implication is that the broader use of commercially developed technologies in the military sector would result in more-capable weapon systems. Yet paradoxically, perhaps the single most important and deeply felt concern expressed by CMI skeptics is ...
