We compute the Zero Point Energy (ZPE) induced by a naked singularity with the help of a reformulation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. A variational approach is used for the calculation with Gaussian Trial Wave Functionals. ...

Isolated spinning neutron stars, asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis, are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves. The most sensitive searches for these sources are based on accurate matched ...

In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In order to take into account a possible small ...

Construction of faculty housing and student's hostels in a fully-residential 400-acre academic campus of Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) in the State of Gujarat, India is the first large scale confined ...

The bounce-back boundary condition in the lattice Boltzmann method distorts curved or inclined boundaries by forcing them to conform to a rectangular grid. This paper proposes a modification that reduces the effect of this ...

The study of urban marginality has largely focused on the plight of the urban poor, often neglecting the role of the middle class in shaping urban exclusion. Although some studies have shed light on the nexus between the ...
