Quantum Corrections for a Braneworld Black Hole
By using the quantum tunneling approach over semiclassical approximations, we
study the quantum corrections to the Hawking temperature, entropy and
Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area relation for a black hole lying on a brane.Comment: 8 pages, accepted for publication in IJTP, references adde
Reconstruction of some cosmological models in f(R,T) gravity
In this paper, we reconstruct cosmological models in the framework of
gravity, where is the Ricci scalar and is the trace of the
stress-energy tensor. We show that the dust fluid reproduces CDM,
phantom-non-phantom era and the phantom cosmology. Further, we reconstruct
different cosmological models including, Chaplygin gas, scalar field with some
specific forms of . Our numerical simulation for Hubble parameter shows
good agreement with the BAO observational data for low redshifts .Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
Identifying Community-Engaged Translational Research Collaboration Experience and Health Interests of Community-Based Organizations Outside of Metropolitan Atlanta
Background: While rural health research has increased over the last two decades, there is limited understanding of the self-reported health priorities and research interests of rural and suburban community-based representatives and residents. These insights can be used to inform more successful intervention strategies that are responsive to the lived experiences of local residents and leaders who are the gatekeepers to buy-in and sustainability of community engaged research. The Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance, a collaboration between four academic institutions includes a Community Engagement Program (CE) designed to facilitate community-academic research partnerships. This study aimed to assess the health priorities, community-academic research experience, and interests of community respondents outside of Metropolitan Atlanta through the Community Engagement Facilitation Survey (CEFS).
Methods: CE Program and Community Steering Board created the CEFS to assess the health topic priorities, research experience, and interests of community-based representatives and community members across the state of Georgia. The 11-item survey was administered (paper and electronic surveys) statewide at community events and professional organization meetings. Descriptive statistics were analyzed, and geospatial mapping was conducted. Data were analyzed in SPSS and Microsoft Excel software systems to clean data and to calculate data counts and percentages. Three maps were created in Tableau Version 19.2 depicting all counties represented by the survey sample superimposed with the counties from which at least one respondent indicated each of the top three health priorities for this sample.
Results: Four-hundred six (406) surveys were analyzed, representing 83.6% of rural and suburban Georgia counties. The most frequently identified health priorities and research interests were diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, and mental health
Kaluza-Klein Cosmology With Modified Holographic Dark Energy
We investigate the compact Kaluza-Klein cosmology in which modified
holographic dark energy is interacting with dark matter. Using this scenario,
we evaluate equation of state parameter as well as equation of evolution of the
modified holographic dark energy. Further, it is shown that the generalized
second law of thermodynamics holds without any constraint.Comment: 13 pages, accepted for publication in Gen. Relativ. Gravi
Interacting Modified Variable Chaplygin Gas in Non-flat Universe
A unified model of dark energy and matter is presented using the modified
variable Chaplygin gas for interacting dark energy in a non-flat universe. The
two entities interact with each other non-gravitationally which involves a
coupling constant. Due to dynamic interaction, the variation in this constant
arises that henceforth changes the equations of state of these quantities. We
have derived the effective equations of state corresponding to matter and dark
energy in this interacting model. Moreover, the case of phantom energy is
deduced by putting constraints on the parameters involved.Comment: 9 pages; Accepted for publication in European Physical Journal
Modified Chaplygin Gas and Solvable F-essence Cosmologies
The Modified Chaplygin Gas (MCG) model belongs to the class of a unified
models of dark energy and dark matter. In this paper, we have modeled MCG in
the framework of f-essence cosmology. By constructing an equation connecting
the MCG and the f-essence, we solve it to obtain explicitly the pressure and
energy density of MCG. As special cases, we obtain both positive and negative
pressure solutions for suitable choices of free parameters. We also calculate
the state parameter which describes the phantom crossing.Comment: 12 pages, (Invited Review), accepted for publication in "Astrophysics

Notes on dark energy interacting with dark matter and unparticle in loop quantum cosmology
We investigate the behavior of dark energy interacting with dark matter and
unparticle in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. In four toy models, we
study the interaction between the cosmic components by choosing different
coupling functions representing the interaction. We found that there are only
two attractor solutions namely dark energy dominated and dark matter dominated
Universe. The other two models are unstable, as they predict either a dark
energy filled Universe or one completely devoid of it.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figures. v2: Minor revisions, matches published versio
Fractional Action Cosmology with Power Law Weight Function
Motivated by an earlier work on fractional-action cosmology with a periodic
weight function [1], we extend it by choosing a power-law weight function in
the action. In this approach, we obtain a varying gravitational coupling
constant. We then model dark energy in this paradigm and obtain relevant
cosmological parameters.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, Contributed talk published in the proceedings of

Generalized Holographic Dark Energy Model
In this paper, the model of holographic Chaplygin gas has been extended to
two general cases: first is the case of modified variable Chaplygin gas and
secondly of the viscous generalized Chaplygin gas. The dynamics of the model
are expressed by the use of scalar fields and the scalar potentials.Comment: 12 pages, to appear in Eur. Phys. J.
Resolution of dark matter problem in f(T) gravity
In this paper, we attempt to resolve the dark matter problem in f(T) gravity.
Specifically, from our model we successfully obtain the flat rotation curves of
galaxies containing dark matter. Further, we obtain the density profile of dark
matter in galaxies. Comparison of our analytical results shows that our
torsion-based toy model for dark matter is in good agreement with empirical
data-based models. It shows that we can address the dark matter as an effect of
torsion of the space.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure
