Higher order corrections to the Newtonian potential in the Randall-Sundrum model
The general formalism for calculating the Newtonian potential in fine-tuned
or critical Randall-Sundrum braneworlds is outlined. It is based on using the
full tensor structure of the graviton propagator. This approach avoids the
brane-bending effect arising from calculating the potential for a point source.
For a single brane, this gives a clear understanding of the disputed overall
factor 4/3 entering the correction. The result can be written on a compact form
which is evaluated to high accuracy for both short and large distances.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX2e with RevTeX4, 3 postscript figures; Minor

Greenland and it\u27s Relevance to North American Security
In considering North American security, the North Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and NATO, Greenland is often almost forgotten. In other areas where a sudden commercial development is foreseen a situation which has been stable for centuries has suddenly changed and created new uneasy political situations. This paper finds Greenland no exception

Thermomechanical Behavior of the HL-LHC 11 Tesla Nb3Sn Magnet Coil Constituents during Reaction Heat Treatment
The knowledge of the temperature induced changes of the superconductor
volume, and of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the different coil and
tooling materials is required for predicting the coil geometry and the stress
distribution in the coil after the Nb3Sn reaction heat treatment. In the
present study we have measured the Young's and shear moduli of the HL-LHC 11 T
Nb3Sn dipole magnet coil and reaction tool constituents during in situ heat
cycles with the dynamic resonance method. The thermal expansion behaviours of
the coil components and of a free standing Nb3Sn wire were compared based on
dilation experiments.Comment: 6 pages, 12 figures, presented at MT25 conferenc
Gravitational Waves from coalescing binaries: Estimation of parameters
The paper presents a statistical model which reproduces the results of Monte
Carlo simulations to estimate the parameters of the gravitational wave signal
from a coalesing binary system. The model however is quite general and would be
useful in other parameter estimation problems.Comment: LaTeX with RevTeX macros, 4 figure
