Abstract:
<p>This research intends to explore the experience of using brands in the past to increasingly love product brands through brand gravity-resonance capability, especially in the competition of the multi-business product sector. The novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of brand gravity variables, and brand resonance provides the proposed brand gravity-resonance capability variables of the resource-advantage theory of competition proposition results. Data were collected from 499 small and medium-sized business respondents through the dissemination of questionnaires and interviews. The SEM-PLS technique analyzes data with a path mediated by brand gravity-resonance capability on brand love. The results showed that brand gravity-resonance capability successfully mediated the brand experience relationship in brand love and the direct connection of brand experience in the past, and brand gravity-resonance capability in brand love managed to increase the sense of brand love. The practical implications of the novelty of this variable provide improvements to MSME managers or businesses to resonate the value of digital aggressiveness, configure science, integrate customer systems, and be oriented towards the creation of new markets. Conceptual implications contribute as new conceptual models that can bridge negative experiences to result in a dynamic and competitive comparative advantage in the market.</p>

Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the physical and microbiological qualities of whole powdered milk of six different brands (Kwality, NIDO, Diploma, Anchor, Farmland and Starship) available in retail market at Mymensingh town. Each brand was considered as treatment and three samples (replications) were taken for each brand. For this purpose, powdered milk samples were collected and analyzed to know the physical parameters mainly color, flavor, taste, solubility, appearance and specific gravity, and microbiological qualities such as total viable bacterial count and coliform count. In case of physical quality, all the six brands possessed the good quality grade and no significant difference was observed except that of specific gravity which varied significantly among the brands. Specific gravity was almost similar to the normal cow milk when the dried milk was reconstituted. Significant variations (p<o.o1) in total viable counts among different powdered milk brands was observed. No coliforms were detected which indicated that good sanitary measures were adopted during the manufacture and storage of the powdered milk samples. In conclusion, it can be said that all brands of powdered milk possessed the recommend suggested standard in terms of both physical and microbiological qualities.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v41i2.14125 Bang.

Abstract:
The Theory of Brand Reduction (TBR), or unbranding, genericizes an organizational brand in order to reduce or limit its impact within its category or brand group. Unbranding asserts a product is identified by its brand and is perceived by stakeholders based on the characteristics of that brand. For example, terror is a product of some organizations - a means to an end - usually political in natural. Unbranding posits the center of gravity (COG) of an extremist group or organization is its brand. Current and previous counter-terrorism efforts have addressed elements of products but not the source of power of the brand. Unbranding posits that terror is a product and terrorism is a franchise into which members ‘buy’ a brand of terror, establish a franchise of their own, using or adapting franchise ‘rules’ but relying on the franchise brand value and name to grow and expand. This paper explicates the core concept of unbranding and proposes six hypotheses for future research.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine the quality of selected Sri Lankan-marketed dairy products. Four brands of full cream milk powder (FCMP) (imported A and B; local C and D) and three brands of pasteurized milk (PM) attributed to the alphabetical identifies E, F, and G were tested, with raw cow’s milk (CM) as control. Fat, protein, ash, carbohydrate, moisture, and water percentage, total solids (TS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, specific gravity (SG), arsenic content, and total coliform count (TCC) were assessed. The average fat and ash content per serving of milk (SOM) of FCMP was significantly lower than the PM and CM. Highest (p>0.05) protein content (7.58 g ± 1.05) was recorded for CM. Carbohydrate and pH were not significantly different in three types of milk products. FCMP had a significantly lower (p<0.05) TA of, 0.18 ± 0.02 than the PM, 0.20 ± 0.02. Specific gravity in Brands D (1.033 ± 0.00) and E (1.033 ± 0.00) was significantly higher (p>0.05) compared to the CM (1.030 ± 0.00). All the abovementioned parameters between imported and locally produced FCMP brands were not significantly different from each other. In imported FCMP, mean moisture % was significantly higher (p>0.05) than local brands; however, in each FCMP, brand mean moisture % was statistically non-significant. Total solids in PM was significantly lower (p<0.05) than the CM. Every tested sample was free of arsenic. However, all PM brands and B of FCMP were contaminated with coliform. Total coliform count in B and E agreed with the Sri Lankan standard level. Nutritional value in SOM of PM and FCMP was less than CM, while the lowest value was recorded in FCMP. It can be concluded that all brands of powdered milk possess the recommend suggested standards in terms of both physicochemical and microbiological qualities. Though the physicochemical characteristics in PM brands agree with the standard levels, microbial hygiene is poor where coliform contamination was very high in Brand E.

Abstract:
Abstract. Waste cooking oil is oil that has been used repeatedly, up to 2-4 times in the frying pan. The large number of Indonesian people who often consume waste cooking oil due to economic factors. The use of oil repeatedly reduces the nutritional value and affects the quality and value of fried food ingredients. However, this waste is very useful, it can be processed into glycerol which is useful in the cosmetic industry. The objective of this research is to prove that the glycerol byproduct of waste cooking oil with various oil brands in the Indonesian market has similar functional groups to commercial glycerol. The research was carried out experimentally by making glycerol using waste cooking oil. Glycerol is made using a transesterification process. Transesterification (alcoholic reaction) is a vegetable fat or oil that is reacted with alcohol to produce an ester and glycerol as a byproduct with the help of an alkaline catalyst. Evaluation of glycerol includes organoleptic, specific gravity, viscosity, glycerol content, ash content, moisture content, and sugar content. The results of the study using FTIR showed that the commercial glycerol wave number was 3291cm-1, brand X at 3291cm-1, and brand Y at 3267cm-1, which indicated the presence of an OH (hydroxyl) group. Commercial glycerol absorption bands at 2931 and 2877 cm-1, brand X at 2933 and 2879 cm-1, and brand Y at 2931 and 2877cm-1, indicating the presence of aliphatic (alkyl) CH groups. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the glycerol byproduct of waste cooking oil using the Indonesian market brands X and Y has similar functional groups to commercial glycerol. However, glycerol is the byproduct of waste cooking oil brand X which has the most similarities with commercial glycerol.

Abstract:
Computational traceback methodologies are important tools for investigations of widespread foodborne disease outbreaks as they assist investigators to determine the causative outbreak location and food item. In modeling the entire food supply chain from farm to fork, however, these methodologies have paid little attention to consumer behavior and mobility, instead making the simplifying assumption that consumers shop in the area adjacent to their home location. This paper aims to fill this gap by introducing a gravity-based approach to model food-flows from supermarkets to consumers and demonstrating how models of consumer shopping behavior can be used to improve computational methodologies to infer the source of an outbreak of foodborne disease. To demonstrate our approach, we develop and calibrate a gravity model of German retail shopping behavior at the postal-code level. Modeling results show that on average about 70 percent of all groceries are sourced from non-home zip codes. The value of considering shopping behavior in computational approaches for inferring the source of an outbreak is illustrated through an application example to identify a retail brand source of an outbreak. We demonstrate a significant increase in the accuracy of a network-theoretic source estimator for the outbreak source when the gravity model is included in the food supply network compared with the baseline case when contaminated individuals are assumed to shop only in their home location. Our approach illustrates how gravity models can enrich computational inference models for identifying the source (retail brand, food item, location) of an outbreak of foodborne disease. More broadly, results show how gravity models can contribute to computational approaches to model consumer shopping interactions relating to retail food environments, nutrition, and public health.

Abstract:
This study presents a brand new concept in contrast to that of the conventional mechanical toy robots on the market. Conventional toy robots rely mainly on a large sole area to reduce wobble during walking. In this study walking stability is realized not by large sole areas but by a cam designed to automatically shift the center of gravity during walking. The biped toy robot proposed is driven by a single motor. As soon as the robot takes a forwards step, the center of gravity is changed by the cam module, and under the action of gravity, the trunk moves automatically to shift the center of gravity. Both walking and shifting the center of gravity is done by one motor. It was a goal of this study to develop a new type of walking toy robot by modifying traditional toy design. Experiment and simulation revealed that the rotation speed of the crank influences the walking of the biped toy robot, and the crank length influences both the length and height of the stride. In addition, counterbalance of the robot while walking is affected by the location of the center of gravity of the trunk and the distance between the feet. It became clear that the stability of the walking robot was determined by many factors, and difficulties may arise if any of these factors is changed.

Abstract:
The following issue is addressed: How the addition of a Gauss–Bonnet term (generically coming from most fundamental theories, as string and M theories), to a viable model, can change the specific properties, and even the physical nature, of the corresponding cosmological solutions? Specifically, brand new original dark energy models are obtained in this way with quite interesting properties, which exhibit, in a unified fashion, the three distinguished possible cosmological phases corresponding to phantom matter, quintessence and ordinary matter, respectively. A model, in which the equation of state (EoS) parameter, w, is a function of time, is seen to lead either to a singularity of the Big Rip kind or to a bouncing solution which evolves into a de Sitter universe with w = −1. Moreover, new Gauss–Bonnet modified gravity models with bouncing behavior in the early stages of the universe evolution are obtained and tested for the validity and stability of the corresponding solutions. They allow for a remarkably natural, unified description of a bouncing behavior at early times and accelerated expansion at present.

Abstract:
The ore of the Novo-Shirokinskoye deposit is processed at the processing plant of JSC Novo-Shirokinskoye Mine according to the gravity-flotation scheme. The technological scheme for processing gold-containing lead-zinc ores consists of two nodes: 1 – gravity; 2 – flotation. The gravity node for the extraction of free gold (the extraction proportion of free gold into the gravity concentrate is not more than 30%) is realized with the help of jigging machines, screw separators and concentration tables. The flotation node includes: collective cycle, including the main, control and two partial operations; lead cycle, including the main, control and one recleaner operation; zinc cycle, which includes the main, control and three cleaning operations. The ore of the Novo-Shirokinskoye deposit belongs to the primary type, since the degree of its oxidation is 3 %. Final (marketable) products obtained at the factory during ore processing of the Novo-Shirokinskoye deposit are: combined lead concentrate of the LC-8 brand, corresponding to TU 1725-002-24722376-2011 "Lead concentrates"; zinc concentrate of the ZC-3 brand, corresponding to TU 1725-001-24722376-2011 "Zinc concentrate". Zinc flotation tailings are dump and stored in a tailings storage facility. Due to the tendency to reduce the lead content in the ore, the dependence of the reduction in the extraction of gold into the flotation concentrate is manifested. Considering the use of the traditional reagent of potassium butyl xanthogenate - C5H9OS2K (further BPX) as a collector, does not give the desired results, a search for combinations with new reagents is required. The object of research is gold–containing lead-zinc ores. The subject of the study is the modes of the flotation process of enrichment of gold–containing lead-zinc ores using the collector BPX and the new reagent Aeroflot BTF 15221 of the company "Kvadrat Plus". The main idea of the work is to increase the efficiency of flotation enrichment of gold–containing lead-zinc ores by determining the optimal combination of the known reagent of the collector BCC and the proposed Aeroflot BTF15221

Abstract:
The design of the biped toy robot in this study, presents a brand new concept compared to that of the conventional mechanical biped robots on the market. These conventional mechanical products rely mainly on a large sole area to stabilize the wobbling movement during walking. In this design walking stability is not achieved by large sole areas, but by having more degrees of freedom and automatically shifting the center of gravity as the robot walks. A single motor is used to drive the biped toy robot trunk so that the center of gravity is automatically shifted to achieve walking stability. The two feet are driven by four connecting rods for striding and leg-lifting action. More particularly, an equal parallel crank mechanism is provided that uses a single motor to drive the connecting rods, thereby swinging the center of gravity of the toy robot in time with striding frequency. In addition, the concept of the zero moment point is utilized in the shifting of the center of gravity allowing the biped robot to lift its legs, change step, and move forward in balance. This study also discusses the use of the four connecting rods, and the shifting of the center of gravity of the robot, as an alternative to the servomotors commonly used in conventional robots which are bulky, expensive and hard to control.

Abstract:
The observation of gravitational wave enables human to explore the origin, formation and evolution of universe governed by the gravitational interaction and the nature of gravity beyond general theory of relativity. The groundbreaking discovery of Gravitational Wave by Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory provides a brand-new observation way. While detecting gravitational wave on ground is limited by noises and test scale, space detection is an optimized alternative to learn rich sources in range of 0.1 mHz–1 Hz. Considering the great significance of space gravitational wave detection, ESA proposed LISA project, CAS also proposed Taiji project. Due to the extremely weak gravitational wave signal and high measurement accuracy requirement, the spaceborne GW observation antenna is accomplished by three spacecrafts constitute isosceles triangle formation intersatellite interferometer. The arm length of the interferometer reaches millions of kilometers between them, and the measurement accuracy reaches pico-meter magnitude. There are many key technologies including pm magnitude space laser interferometer metrology, drag-free control using TM of Gravity Reference Sensor, [Formula: see text]N micro thruster, ultra-clean & ultra-stable spacecraft, etc. This paper focuses on key technologies of the ultra-clean & ultra-stable spacecraft, analyzing the design of mechanical, thermal control and magnetic clean. Moreover, it reports the preliminary results of the technological breakthrough.

Abstract:
Pablo Picasso’s words, "Without great solitude, no serious work is possible” rightly points to the gravity of Solitude. The glory of Solitude finds a place in the receptacle of literature. In American Literature, Solitude has been the bedrock for the movement of Transcendentalism and the ideology of Individualism. Solitude, rather than an essentially distraction free peaceful environment, is a serene disposition of the mind, where a person separates himself/ herself from his/her usual community attachment to discover the self. It is real powerful that it can give a person his/ her predicament in this universe. Mental Detox is moving past trauma caused by thoughts, emotions and the external world to a brand-new reshaped identity. These ideas have been well supported in the selected poetry of Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost with the application of Thoreauvian Philosophy and Roger’s Self-theory of Personality. This study elaborates how Solitude can function as an avenue for Mental Detox to Reconfigure the Self by applying Thoreauvian Philosophy, Roger’s Self-theory of Personality and the concept of Mental Detoxification to the analysis of selected American Poetry.

Abstract:
Purpose: To evaluate parameters that influence the amount of movement of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tips regarding upper limb movement. Methods: In a prospective 12-month observational study, 200 PICCs were implanted in 162 patients (mean age 56.8 ± 15.2 years) by interventional radiologists into the basilic vein of the mid-aspect of the upper arm. Three PICC tip positions were documented with a chest x-ray: patient supine with an abducted (90°), an adducted arm, and in an upright position with an adducted arm. Multivariable analyses were performed, based on the three positions: body mass index (BMI), number of lumens, age, gender, side of the implantation, and brand. Results: Up to 88% of the PICCs dislocated in a mean of 19 mm cephalad when the patient was positioned from a supine in an upright position. The greatest influence upon dislocation was the position change from supine to upright. The side of the implanted PICC (left vs. right) had no influence. Conclusions: Cephalad dislocations of mean 19 mm regularly occur in the upright position induced by gravity. This needs to be taken in account and the PICC should be safely positioned one vertebra lower in the superior vena cava superior with a last confirmation of the PICC placement in an upright position.

Abstract:
Geographical indications (GIs) represent the intellectual property rights, which protection could play a significant role in the increasing regional and national trade. The paper reveals the impact of protected GIs on international trade and provides certain recommendations for Russia. There is an evident gap in the study of the GIs effect on the development of trade links, especially for Russian enterprises. The paper applies the gravity model of trade and tests three hypotheses, whether the more protected geographical indications both exporting and importing countries have, the higher the volume of export of GI protected goods going out of this particular country and whether the existence of a trade agreement with specific provisions on the GIs protection increases trade between its members. The findings support one hypothesis that the more protected GIs the exporting country has, the higher the volume of exports of GI protected goods. Based on this result, we analyse the current situation of the GIs protection in Russia and indicate the positive trends in development of the national legislation and modern challenges in the implementation of GIs protection for the national development. The federal and regional support as well as the changes in the business strategies could lead to an increase in the Russian competitiveness. GIs could encourage the brand origin and promote the Russian products on the foreign markets.

Abstract:
The present article seeks to validate Bulawayo's We Need New Names as a credible alternative to the official national historiography. It attempts to achieve this feat by obtaining answers to two key questions. The first is whether Bulawayo is fair to indict everyone (even perceived victims) for the general malaise that bedevils her nameless dystopian republic. The second question seeks insights on whether the novelist's sex guarantees women some exemption from the finger pointing that Darling otherwise executes with the candor of a death-row judge, albeit in her naive gravity-defying buoyancy. In search for answers to these questions, the researchers first analyze the portrayal of white people in Bulawayo’s unnamed postcolonial state. It then juxtaposes the presentation of the post-independence rulers of the fictional state with that of the suffering masses with the intention to justify, or otherwise, why both perceived victims and culprits are held culpable to the malaise that obtains. Finally, the research examines how women in Africa (and of Africa) are juxtaposed to women in the west. This last part encapsulates problematizing the brand of Darling’s cosmopolitanism as a possible commentary on both the home she abandons and the one she adopts. Since the underlying objective of the study is to test Bulawayo’s We Need New Names as a credible alternative to the metanarrative, parallels are drawn between events and narratives in Bulawayo’s nameless republic and those in the milieu from which her text emerges in its trans-continental settings.

We propose a unimodular version of the Brans–Dicke theory designed with a constrained Lagrangian formulation. The resulting field equations are traceless. The vacuum solutions in the cosmological background reproduce the corresponding solutions of the usual Brans–Dicke theory but with a cosmological constant term. A perturbative analysis of the scalar modes is performed and stable and unstable configurations appear, in contrast with the Brans–Dicke case for which only stable configurations occur. On the other hand, tensorial modes in this theory remain the same as in the traditional Brans–Dicke theory.

Abstract:
We study the fluctuation spectrum of linearized gravity around non-fine-tuned branes. We focus on the case of an AdS 4 brane in AdS 5. In this case, for small cosmological constant, the warp factor near the brane is essentially that of a Minkowski brane. However, far from the brane, the metric differs substantially. The space includes the AdS 5 boundary, so it has infinite volume. Nonetheless, for sufficiently small AdS 4 cosmological constant, there is a bound state graviton in the theory, and four-dimensional gravity is reproduced. However, it is a massive bound state that plays the role of the four-dimensional graviton.

Abstract:
In a world of attention scarcity, cause-related marketing strategies generate a substantially greater impact. The neurophysiological mechanisms that support favorable consumer attitudes toward cause-related marketing messages are, however, rather little understood. This study attempts to comprehend how a marketer may employ cause-related marketing initiatives to improve the company’s reputation as well as how program, company, and product identities affect consumers’ attitude toward the corporate image. Following the classical experimental design, this study uses four stimuli to investigate the effects of cause type and cause category on attitude toward corporate image. The four different stimuli used in this study are exposure to a negative corporate image of a fictitious brand, exposure to a negative corporate image with exposure to cause-related marketing message on Save Amazon Rainforest, exposure to a negative corporate image, and exposure to cause-related marketing message on Educate Homeless Children project, and exposure to a negative corporate image and exposure to cause-related marketing message on feeding the hungry homeless children with a description about the gravity of hunger among the poor homeless children of India. For this study, 1,171 urban Indian consumers were used as the sample. The study suggests that empathy-embedded cause-related marketing communications are characterized by primary need-based humanitarian causes. This study thus validates the mirror neuron hypothesis, which confirms that customer-centricity increases with the degree to which the communication content is similar to that of the respondent. A higher degree of customer-centricity results in a better advertisement attitude, which improves consumer attitude toward the corporate image.

Abstract:
Reinforced cement concrete structure are the most common structures in India. The strength of structure depends mainly on two components i.e. concrete and steel rebar. One of the main constituent i.e. steel, changes its strength along with the changes in property of steel rebar irrespective of the types of steel, mainly due to rusting of iron i.e. formation of iron oxide by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. In the present study, experimental investigation has been done as to find the property of steel for the bright new rebar as well as for the old rusted rebar of a particular brand of steel rebar. The experimental result showed that the new bright rebar has ~ 50% higher yielding strength as compared to the old rusted rebar strength. The ductility of new bright rebar is having ~125% higher than the old rusted rebar. The material property of steel extracted from the experiment has been incorporated in Finite Element modelling of a particular building using SAP 2000. The building has been designed under the gravity load as well as uniform lateral load. The performance of building is found out through push over analysis in terms of load vs displacement. The ultimate strength of building using new rebar is around 60% higher than the strength of building with old rebar. The displacement capacity of building also differs significantly i.e. building with new rebar is having ~60% higher than building with old rebar’s. Overall, the steel rebars need to be protected from corrosion for the construction of structures.

Abstract:
We review the results of arXiv:hep-th/0703190, on brane induced gravity (BIG) in 6D. Among a large diversity of regulated codimension-2 branes, we find that for near-critical tension branes live inside very deep throats which efficiently compactify the angular dimension. In there, 4D gravity first changes to 5D, and only later to 6D. The crossover from 4D to 5D is independent of the tension, but the crossover from 5D to 6D is not. This shows how the vacuum energy problem manifests in BIG: instead of tuning vacuum energy to adjust the 4D curvature, generically one must tune it to get the desired crossover scales and the hierarchy between the scales governing the 4D → 5D → 6D transitions. In the near-critical limit, linearized perturbation theory remains under control below the crossover scale, and we find that linearized gravity around the vacuum looks like a scalar–tensor theory.

Abstract:
Purpose Twenty-first century online retailing has reshaped the retail landscape. Grocery shopping is emerging as the next fastest growing category in online retailing in the UK, having implications for the channels we use to purchase goods. Using Sainsbury’s data, the authors create a bespoke set of grocery click&collect catchments. The resultant catchments allow an investigation of performance within the emerging channel of grocery click&collect. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The spatial interaction method of “Huff gravity modeling” is applied in a semi-automated approach, used to calculate grocery click&collect catchments for 95 Sainsbury’s stores in England. The catchments allow investigation of the spatial variation and particularly rural-urban differences. Store and catchment characteristics are extracted and explored using ordinary least squares regression applied to investigate “demand per day” (a confidentiality transformed revenue value) as a function of competition, performance and geodemographic factors. Findings The findings show that rural stores exhibit a larger catchment extent for grocery click&collect when compared with urban stores. Linear regression finds store characteristics as having the greatest impact on demand per day, adhering to wider retail competition literature. Conclusions display a need for further investigation (e.g. quantifying loyalty). Originality/value New insights are contributed at a national level for grocery click&collect, as well as e-commerce, multichannel shopping and retail geography. Areas for further investigation are identified, particularly quantitatively capturing brand loyalty. The research has commercial impact as the catchments are being applied by Sainsbury’s to decide the next 100 stores and plan for the next five years of their grocery click&collect offering.

Full text
Abstract:
The existence of exact coherent structures in stably stratified plane Couette flow (gravity perpendicular to the plates) is investigated over Reynolds–Richardson number ($Re$–$Ri_{b}$) space for a fluid of unit Prandtl number $(Pr=1)$ using a combination of numerical and asymptotic techniques. Two states are repeatedly discovered using edge tracking – EQ7 and EQ7-1 in the nomenclature of Gibson & Brand (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 745, 2014, pp. 25–61) – and found to connect with two-dimensional convective roll solutions when tracked to negative $Ri_{b}$ (the Rayleigh–Bénard problem with shear). Both these states and Nagata’s (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 217, 1990, pp. 519–527) original exact solution feel the presence of stable stratification when $Ri_{b}=O(Re^{-2})$ or equivalently when the Rayleigh number $Ra:=-Ri_{b}Re^{2}Pr=O(1)$. This is confirmed via a stratified extension of the vortex wave interaction theory of Hall & Sherwin (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 661, 2010, pp. 178–205). If the stratification is increased further, EQ7 is found to progressively spanwise and cross-stream localise until a second regime is entered at $Ri_{b}=O(Re^{-2/3})$. This corresponds to a stratified version of the boundary region equations regime of Deguchi, Hall & Walton (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 721, 2013, pp. 58–85). Increasing the stratification further appears to lead to a third, ultimate regime where $Ri_{b}=O(1)$ in which the flow fully localises in all three directions at the minimal Kolmogorov scale which then corresponds to the Osmidov scale. Implications for the laminar–turbulent boundary in the ($Re$–$Ri_{b}$) plane are briefly discussed.

Abstract:
We discuss the possibility of quintessence in the dilatonic domain walls including the Randall–Sundrum brane world. We obtain the zero mode effective action for gravitating objects in the dilatonic domain wall. First we consider the four-dimensional (4D) gravity and the Brans–Dicke graviscalar with a potential. This can be further rewritten as a minimally coupled scalar with the Liouville-type potential in the Einstein frame. However this model fails to induce the quintessence on the dilatonic domain wall because the potential is negative. Second we consider the 4D gravity with the dilaton. In this case we also find a negative potential. Any negative potential gives us negative energy density and positive pressure, which does not lead to an accelerating universe. Consequently it turns out that the zero mode approach of the dilatonic domain wall cannot accommodate the quintessence in cosmology.

Abstract:
The most remarkable and interesting feature of brane world scenario is the use of bulk's curvature to localize gravity on the brane, albeit with fine tuning of the brane and bulk parameters. For FRW expanding universe on the brane, it is a moving hypersurface in Schwarzschild anti de Sitter bulk spacetime. We show that zero mass gravitons have bound state on the brane for suitable values of brane and bulk parameters. There occur various cases giving rise to different cosmological models, in particular we discuss a model with positive cosmological constant on the brane.

Abstract:
Following our recent work on braneworld mimetic gravity, in this paper, we study an extension of braneworld mimetic gravity to the case that the gravitational sector on the brane is modified in the spirit of [Formula: see text] theories. We assume the physical 5D bulk metric in the Randall–Sundrum II braneworld scenario consists of a 5D scalar field (which mimics the dark sectors on the brane) and an auxiliary 5D metric. We find the 5D Einstein’s field equations and the 5D equation of motion of the bulk scalar field in this setup. By using the Gauss–Codazzi equations, we obtain the induced Einstein’s field equations on the brane. Finally, by adopting the FRW background, we find the Friedmann equation on the brane in this [Formula: see text] mimetic braneworld setup.

Abstract:
This paper aims to investigate the existence and properties of anisotropic quark stars in the context of the self-interacting Brans–Dicke theory. In this theory, the gravitational constant in general relativity is replaced by a dynamical massive scalar field accompanied by a potential function. Researchers believe that strange stars may evolve from neutron stars when neutrons fail to endure the extreme temperature and pressure in the interior region. As a consequence, they breakdown into their constituent particles, known as quarks. In order to construct a well-behaved quark star model under the influence of a massive scalar field, we formulate the field equations by employing the MIT bag model. The MIT bag model (strange quark matter equation of state) is the most suitable choice for quark stars as it has successfully described the compactness of certain stellar bodies. Furthermore, the estimates of mass of quark stars based on the data from the cosmic events GW170817 and GW190425 support the choice of MIT bag model. The model is developed by considering three types of quark matter: strange, up, and down. The bag constant involved in the model differentiates between false and true vacuum. We consider a static sphere with anisotropic fluid and employ the observed masses and radii of the strange star candidates (RXJ 1856-37 and PSR J1614-2230) in the matching conditions at the boundary to evaluate the value of the bag constant. Further, we evaluate the impact of the massive scalar field on state parameters and investigate the viability (via energy conditions) as well as stability (through the speed of sound constraints) of the self-gravitating objects. It is found that the obtained values of the bag constant lie within the accepted range (58.9 MeV/fm3 ≤ B ≤ 91.5 MeV/fm3). Moreover, the anisotropic structure meets the necessary viability and stability criteria.

Abstract:
In the frame of brane world theory the effects of torsion fields are examined. Considering a five dimensional Non-Riemannian bulk with a noncompact extra dimension, we derive the modified Einstein field equations in a four dimensional (3-brane) arbitrary manifold embedded in this bulk. The necessary matching conditions are investigated assuming that the torsion in the bulk is continuous. In this context the extrinsic curvature is connected to the matter content restricted to the brane and the torsion components of the bulk. As a final result we observe that the corrections – due to torsion fields – in the modified field equations depend crucially on the embedding that is taken. Therefore, by considering a simple embedding, we develop a cosmological model that describes a flat FLRW embedded in a 5-dimensional de Sitter (or Anti de Sitter) spacetime, where a 5-dimensional cosmological constant emerges from the torsion components of the bulk.
