Explicit Fermi coordinates and tidal dynamics in de Sitter and Gödel spacetimes
(American Physical Society, 2006)
Fermi coordinates are directly constructed in de Sitter and Gödel spacetimes and the corresponding exact coordinate transformations are given explicitly. The quasi-inertial Fermi coordinates are then employed to discuss ...
Consumer Attitudes Towards Genetic Modification, Functional Foods, and Microorganisms : A Choice Modeling Experiment for Beer
(AgBioForum, 2002)
A choice modeling approach was used to identify consumer preferences for various hypothetical forms of genetic modification in beer, using a sample from Western Australia. It was found that respondents were equally averse ...
Money for Nothing? The Impact of Changes in the Pell Grant Program on Institutional Revenues and the Placement of Needy Students
(American Education Finance Association, 2007)
Using new institutional-level data, we assess the impact of changing federal aid levels on institutional-level Pell revenues. Using various policy instruments associated with Pell generosity, we quantify the sensitivity ...
Solving the Ultranonlocality Problem in Time-Dependent Spin-Density-Functional Theory
(American Physical Society, 2003)
It has been known for some time that the exchange-correlation potential in time- dependent density-functional theory is an intrinsically nonlocal functional of the density as soon as one goes beyond the adiabatic approximation. ...
