Currents and Radiation from the large Black Hole Membrane
It has recently been demonstrated that black hole dynamics in a large number
of dimensions reduces to the dynamics of a codimension one membrane
propagating in flat space. In this paper we define a stress tensor and charge
current on this membrane and explicitly determine these currents at low orders
in the expansion in . We demonstrate that dynamical membrane
equations of motion derived in earlier work are simply conservation equations
for our stress tensor and charge current. Through the paper we focus on
solutions of the membrane equations which vary on a time scale of order unity.
Even though the charge current and stress tensor are not parametrically small
in such solutions, we show that the radiation sourced by the corresponding
membrane currents is generically of order . In this regime it
follows that the `near horizon' membrane degrees of freedom are decoupled from
asymptotic flat space at every perturbative order in the
expansion. We also define an entropy current on the membrane and use the
Hawking area theorem to demonstrate that the divergence of the entropy current
is point wise non negative. We view this result as a local form of the second
law of thermodynamics for membrane motion.Comment: 104 pages plus 69 pages appendix, 1 figure, Minor correction
Determining the Activation Energy of Glucose Syrup Using the Arrhenius Equation
This experiment finds the activation energy of corn syrup using the Arrhenius equation. This was done through a simple experiment of dropping a ball into corn syrup and measuring its terminal velocity. From this, the viscosity could be derived, through the use of rearrangement of Newton’s First Law. The temperature of the corn syrup was also varied through the use of a microwave by raising it to 50 degrees Celsius. It is known that the more viscous a liquid is, the greater the activation energy for the liquid, which is essentially the energy barrier that a molecule has to overcome to travel, and thus the slower the liquid travel. Through linearization of the equation, it can be seen that graphing the inverse of temperature against the natural log of the viscosity, the equation of the slope would be equivalent to the activation energy over the universal gas constant. After conducting the experiment, it was proven that corn syrup has a very high activation energy, and thus is a very viscous liquid

Study of correlation of gestational age estimation by new ballard score with inter mammary distance in new born
Background: It is important to recognise preterm babies as they have a different set of problems than term babies.Methods: Study was done over a period of 2 years.254 new-borns ranging in gestational age from 27 to 42 weeks were studied in MYH Hospital, Indore.Results: Intermammary distance and gestational age showed a positive correlation with a correlation coefficient of 0.9. SGA and AGA babies had correlation coefficient of 0.95 and 0.89 respectively.Conclusions: Intermammary distance of 69.60mm can be used to differentiate preterm and term babies. This simple measurement can be easily used by peripheral health workers at remote places to differentiate between term and preterm babies
Proof of Efficient Liquidity: A Staking Mechanism for Capital Efficient Liquidity
The Proof of Efficient Liquidity (PoEL) protocol, designed for specialised
Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus-based blockchains that incorporate intrinsic
DeFi applications, aims to support sustainable liquidity bootstrapping and
network security. This concept seeks to efficiently utilise budgeted staking
rewards to attract and sustain liquidity through a risk-structuring engine and
incentive allocation strategy, both of which are designed to maximise capital
efficiency. The proposed protocol serves the dual objective of: (i) capital
creation by attracting risk capital efficiently and maximising its operational
utility for intrinsic DeFi applications, thereby asserting sustainability; and
(ii) enhancing the adopting blockchain network's economic security by
augmenting their staking (PoS) mechanism with a harmonious layer seeking to
attract a diversity of digital assets. Finally, the protocol's conceptual
framework, as detailed in the appendix, is extended to encompass service fee
credits. This extension capitalises on the network's auxiliary services to
disperse incentives and attract liquidity, ensuring the network achieves and
maintains the critical usage threshold essential for its sustained operational
viability and progressive growth
