Density Functional approach to Nonlinear Rheology

We present a density functional based closure of the pair Smoluchowski equation for Brownian particles under shear flow. Given an equilibrium free energy functional as input the theory provides first-principles predictions for the flow-distorted pair correlation function and associated rheological quantities over a wide range of volume fractions and flow rates. Taking two-dimensional hard-disks under shear flow as an illustrative model we calculate the pair correlation function, viscosity and normal stress difference under both steady and start-up shear

Natural Slow-Roll Inflation

It is shown that the non-perturbative dynamics of a phase change to the non-trivial phase of $\lambda\varphi^4$-theory in the early universe can give rise to slow-rollover inflation without recourse to unnaturally small couplings.Comment: 14 LaTex pages (3 figures available on request), UNITUE-THEP-15-199

A Study of the Extent of the Influence of Selected Jewish Institutions upon the Apostolic Church of the First Century

The Jew of every age has anxiously awaited the coming of his promised Messiah. The Jews just previous to the birth of Jesus Christ were no exception. Although they had a well-organized system of religion they still lacked one thing -- their Messiah. He came and with Him came an immense change in the whole system of worship. Many of the previous institutions, ordinances, and rituals were omitted, others were changed and invested with new meaning, as Christ through the apostles set up the new Christian form of worship and organization. Certain of these institutions which became part of the early New Testament Church were selected as the object of this study. Certain New Testament institutions were chosen which have a counterpart or some relationship to other earlier Jewish institutions. The problem was to discover to what extent these earlier Jewish institutions have influenced both the formation and the meaning of the later Apostolic institutions. The following objectives guided the study: 1. To discover if there was any vital connection between the institutions of the Old and New Testaments which are usually associated, and if so, how much. 2. To determine the influence of the Jewish institutions upon the New Testament institutions in the following areas: a) How the earlier institutions influenced the choice of the later institutions, b) To what extent the earlier institutions influenced the meaning of the later ones, c) How much resemblance there is in the forms between the old and the new, and d) If there were any similarities in the personal qualifications necessary for the participating individuals
