Tending to scalar ambiguity
… of site, embracing complex, entangled and multi-scalar ways of knowing and rhizomorphic connectivity. The method of gardening holds space for a close, iterative and collaborative relationship with site, while storytelling is embraced as a sensemaking tool that can hold multiple scales, …

Motion in a scalar field
Light scalar fields emerge as a generic prediction in physics beyond the Standard Model. For example, they arise as new degrees of freedom in modified gravity, as Kaluza-Klein modes from extra compactified dimensions, and as Nambu-Goldstone bosons from spontaneously broken symmetries. Far from …

Uncertainty visualization in 3D scalar data
One problem in most three-dimensional (3D) scalar data visualization techniques is that they often overlook to depict uncertainty that comes with the 3D scalar data and thus fail to faithfully present the 3D scalar data and have risks which may mislead users’ interpretations, conclusions or even …

Scalar Curvature Constraints on Symplectic 4-Manifolds
… es- tablish a fundamental restriction on the scalar curvature induced by the topology of a symplectic manifold.

Radiation and reaction in scalar quantum electrodynamics
… radiation by accelerating charges in the scalar quantum electrodynamic theory. We investigate aspects of this theory in flat spacetime, and in a class of conformally flat and curved spacetimes. In particular, we show that in flat spacetime, the quantum-theoretic prediction for the emission …

Scalar implicatures in children: alternatives and relevance
… to arise from a pragmatic inference called Scalar Implicature (SI). Preschoolers typically fail to spontaneously generate SIs without the assistance of training or context that makes the stronger alternative salient. However, the exact role of alternatives in generating SIs remains …

Psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic investigations of scalar implicature
… the representation and composition of meaning in scalar implicatures. Scalar implicature is the phenomenon whereby the use of a less informative term (e.g., some) is inferred to mean the negation of a more informative term (e.g., to mean not all). The experiments reported here investigate how the …

Transport theory for scalar quarks and gluons
… and constraint equations for a theory of scalar quarks and gluons with self-interactions. Special care has been taken in particular in understanding how the transport equation, taken on its own, leads to a Boltzmann-like equation when considered in the quasiparticle approximation. Through …

Scalar curvature on noncompact complete Riemannian manifolds
… a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold whose scalar curvature S(x) is positive for all x in M. In this thesis, we study a conformal deformation of the given metric g, which makes the scalar curvature of the deformed metric a positive constant. We also study the existence of a complete …

Quantum field theory of scalar cosmological perturbations
… quantization we show that the spectrum of the scalar cosmological fluctuations as calculated until now is not correct. We derive the correct expression for the spectrum, and show that our correct treatment alleviates the fine-tuning problem in inflation.

The Scalar Politics of Mobility in Detroit
… that presents a productive point of entry into scalar thinking. Building upon a critique of the literature for its relatively thin conceptualization of transportation technologies and institutions within the production of spatial scale, I develop a scalar politics of mobility around an extended …

Charged scalar fields and superconductivity in AdS4/CFT3.
… the energy behaviour of a massive charged scalar field in an Anti de-Sitter-Reissner-Nordström space-time background using the AdS/CFT correspondence. After obtaining the equations of motion for the system I numerically solve for the vacuum expectation values of the energy momentum tensor …

Charged scalar fields on Black Hole space-times

Remystifying Scriabin: Scalar Quality in the Late Works

Momentum and scalar transport in vegetated shear flows
… twice as rapidly as momentum. The spread of a scalar plume is shown to be a function of the number of vortex cycles experienced by the plume, irrespective of the canopy characteristics or flow speed. In contrast to mixing layers, the vortices in a vegetated shear layer grow only to a finite …
