We consider a modified “Swiss cheese” model in the Brans-Dicke theory, and discuss the evolution of black holes in the expanding universe. We define the black hole radius by the Misner-Sharp mass and find the time evolution for dust and vacuum universes.

Black and Pinto bean starches were physically and chemically modified to investigate the effect of modification on digestibility and physicochemical properties of bean starch. The impact of acetylation, oxidation (ozonation) and annealing on the chemical composition, syneresis, swelling volume, pasting, thermal properties and digestibility of starches was evaluated. The physicochemical and esti...

If string theory describes nature, then charged black holes are not described by the Reissner-Nordstrøm solution. This solution must be modified to include a massive dilaton. In the limit of vanishing dilaton mass, the new solution can be found by a generalization of the Harrison transformation for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. These two solution generating transformations and the resulting b...

The holographic description in the presence of gravitational Chern-Simons term is studied. The modified gravitational equations are integrated by using the FeffermanGraham expansion and the holographic stress-energy tensor is identified. The stressenergy tensor has both conformal anomaly and gravitational or, if re-formulated in terms of the zweibein, Lorentz anomaly. We comment on the structur...

Bekenstein-Hawking formalism of black hole thermodynamics should be modified to incorporate quantum gravitational effects. Generalized Uncertainty Principle(GUP) provides a suitable framework to perform such modifications. In this paper, we consider a general form of GUP to find black hole thermodynamics in a model universe with large extra dimensions. We will show that black holes radiate main...

Quasinormal modes of perturbed black holes have recently gained much interest because their tight relations with the gravitational wave signals emitted during post-merger phase a binary hole coalescence. One intriguing features these is that they respect no-hair theorem, and hence, can be used to test space-times underlying theory. In this paper, we exhibit three different aspects how quasinorm...

After exclusion of persons on blood pressure medication or with prevalent cardiovascular disease, we studied 83 black and 2,548 white men and 113 black and 1,519 white women 20-69 years old from the Lipid Research Clinics population sample who had performed a standardized treadmill exercise test. Resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures were similar in black and white men, but the diastol...
