A comparison of the Graffi and Kazhikhov–Smagulov models for top heavy pollution instability. (2001)
Journal Article
Franchi, F., & Straughan, B. (2001). A comparison of the Graffi and Kazhikhov–Smagulov models for top heavy pollution instability. Advances in Water Resources, 24(6), 585-594. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0309-1708%2800%2900073-7

A model to describe convective overturning of a fluid layer due to density differences is derived based on equations of Kazhikhov & Smagulov. This is related to an analogous model of a reduced system based on equations of Dario Graffi. It is shown ho...

Brane World Cosmology Without the Z_2 Symmetry (2001)
Journal Article
Davis, A., Vernon, I., Davis, S. C., & Perkins, W. B. (2001). Brane World Cosmology Without the Z_2 Symmetry. Physics Letters B, 504(3), 254-261. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0370-2693%2801%2900291-x

The Friedmann equation for a positive tension brane situated between two bulk spacetimes that posses the same 5D cosmological constant, but which does not posses a Z2 symmetry of the metric itself is derived, and the possible effects of dropping the...

Cosmological phase transitions in a brane world (2001)
Journal Article
Davis, S. C., Perkins, W. B., Davis, A., & Vernon, I. R. (2001). Cosmological phase transitions in a brane world. Physical Review D, Particles and fields, 63(8), Article 083518. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.63.083518

In brane world scenarios the Friedmann equation is modified, resulting in an increased expansion at early times. This has important effects on cosmological phase transitions which we investigate, elucidating significant differences to the standard ca...

Double-diffractive processes in high resolution missing-mass experiments at the Tevatron (2001)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2001). Double-diffractive processes in high resolution missing-mass experiments at the Tevatron. The European Physical Journal C, 19(3), 477-483. https://doi.org/10.1007/s100520100637

We evaluate, in a model-independent way, the signal-to-background ratio for Higgs→ b¯b detection in exclusive double-diffractive events at the Tevatron and the LHC. For the missing-mass approach to be able to identify the Higgs boson, it will be nece... Read More about Double-diffractive processes in high resolution missing-mass experiments at the Tevatron.

Avoiding foregone conclusions: geometric and foundational analysis of paradoxes of finite additivity (2001)
Journal Article
Goldstein, M. (2001). Avoiding foregone conclusions: geometric and foundational analysis of paradoxes of finite additivity. Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 94(1), 73-87. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0378-3758%2800%2900229-9

We consider an example in which the use of finitely additive probabilities leads to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that we may reason to a foregone conclusion. We give an informal treatment of this paradox. We then develop a geometric approach...

N=1 M5-brane geometries (2001)
Journal Article
Brinne, B., Fayyazuddin, A., Husain, T., & Smith, D. J. (2001). N=1 M5-brane geometries. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2001(03), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2001/03/052

We describe how to construct solutions to eleven-dimensional supergravity corresponding to M5-branes wrapped on holomorphic 2-cycles embedded in 3. These solutions preserve = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. In the near-horizon limit they are expe... Read More about N=1 M5-brane geometries.

On the connectivity properties of the complementary set in fractal percolation models (2001)
Journal Article
Menshikov, M., Yu, P. S., & Vachkovskaia, M. (2001). On the connectivity properties of the complementary set in fractal percolation models. Probability Theory and Related Fields, 119(2), 176-186. https://doi.org/10.1007/pl00008757

We study the connectivity properties of the complementary set in Poisson multiscale percolation model and in Mandelbrot's percolation model in arbitrary dimension. By using a result about majorizing dependent random fields by Bernoulli fields, we pro... Read More about On the connectivity properties of the complementary set in fractal percolation models.

A Bayesian Analysis of Fluid Flow in Pipelines (2001)
Journal Article
Rougier, J., & Goldstein, M. (2001). A Bayesian Analysis of Fluid Flow in Pipelines. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C, 50(1), 77-93. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9876.00221

The waterhammer equations are a pair of partial differential equations that describe the behaviour of an incompressible fluid in a pipe-line. We generalize these equations to account for uncertainty in the description of the liquid and the pipe-line,... Read More about A Bayesian Analysis of Fluid Flow in Pipelines.
