The influence of the gravity and magnetic field on the propagation of Rayleigh wave in a prestressed inhomogeneous, orthotropic elastic solid medium has been discussed. The method of separation of variable has been used to find the frequency equations for the surface waves. The obtained dispersion equations are in agreement with the classical results when gravity, magnetic field, non-homogeneit...

Quantum geometrodynamics is canonical quantum gravity with the three-metric as the configuration variable. Its central equation is the Wheeler–DeWitt equation. Here I give an overview of the status of this approach. The issues discussed include the problem of time, the relation to the covariant theory, the semiclassical approximation as well as applications to black holes and cosmology. I concl...

Abstract: point of view. In this study, a shaking-table was used for concentrating a manganese ore sample from the Ghasem Abadarea in Kerman, Iran. Experiments were designed by using LThe influence of each variable and their interactions on the operation of the device was studied. The variables underinvestigation were: table slope, table frequency, water flowrate, feed rate, and particle size. ...

Post-relativistic gravity is a hidden variable theory for general relativity. It introduces the pre-relativistic notions absolute space, absolute time, and ether as hidden variables into general relativity. Evolution is defined by the equations of general relativity and the harmonic coordinate condition interpreted as a physical equation. There are minor differences in predictions compared with...

New nonlinear evolution equations are derived that generalize those presented in a Letter by Matsuno [Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 609 (1992)]] and a terrain-following Boussinesq system recently deduced by Nachbin [SIAM J Appl. Math. 63, 905 (2003)]]. The regime considers finite-amplitude surface gravity waves on a two-dimensional incompressible and inviscid fluid of, highly variable, finite depth. A F...

We study evolution of a flat Friedmann-Robertson Walker universe filled with a bulk viscous cosmological fluid in a higher derivative theory of gravity in the presence of time varying gravitational and cosmological constant. Cosmological models admitting both power-law and exponential expansions are explored here in the presence of imperfect fluid described by full Israel and Stewart theory. We...

The gravitational instability of a simple two-layered medium resting on a rigid base has been treated in terms of the analog model of Biot. In order to avoid complications of purely mathematical nature which are unrelated to the physics of the process of instability and do not affect the results significantly, the analysis is presented for the two-dimensional case? It is shown that such a syste...

the role of distance as border effects between trade partners has been created challengeable discussions in gravity model literature for international economists and lead to different theoretical aspects for measuring and modeling of it in recent years. moreover, the necessity of non-linear method for estimation of gravity model has been perfectly agreed. the importance of this study is the est...

We point out an incompleteness of formulations of gravitational and gauge theories that use traces of holonomies around closed curves as their basic variables. It is shown that in general such loop variables have to satisfy certain inequalities if they are to give a description equivalent to the usual one in terms of local gauge potentials.

As one of the world’s oldest continents, Australia has experienced a complicated geological history and thus has a distinctive landscape and an extensively weathered topography. As such, the gravity field of Australia behaves differently to that in other countries. This paper investigates the features of the Australian gravity field. The methods used are a simple statistical comparison, Fourier...
