Brane-world creation and black holes

An inflating brane world can be created from ``nothing'' together with its anti-de Sitter (AdS) bulk. The resulting space-time has compact spatial sections bounded by the brane. During inflation, the continuum of KK modes is separated from the massless zero mode by the gap m=(3/2)H, where H is the Hubble rate. We consider the analogue of the Nariai solution and argue that it describes the pair production of ``black cigars'' attached to the inflating brane. In the case when the size of the instantons is much larger than the AdS radius, the 5-dimensional action agrees with the 4-dimensional one. Hence, the 5D and 4D gravitational entropies are the same in this limit. We also consider thermal instantons with an AdS black hole in the bulk. These may be interpreted as describing the creation of a hot universe from nothing or the production of AdS black holes in the vicinity of a pre-existing inflating brane world. The Lorentzian evolution of the brane world after creation is briefly discussed. An additional ``integration constant'' in the Friedmann equation-accompanying a term which dilutes like radiation-describes the tidal force in the fifth direction and arises from the mass of a spherical object inside the bulk. In general, this could be a 5-dimensional black hole or a ``parallel'' brane world of negative tension concentrical with our brane-world. In the case of thermal solutions, and in the spirit of the AdS/CFT correspondence, one may attribute the additional term to thermal radiation in the boundary theory. Then, for temperatures well below the AdS scale, the entropy of this radiation agrees with the entropy of the black hole in the AdS bulk.

Tintype of Man Smoking a Cigar [n.d.]

This small black and white tintype photograph shows a young Black gentleman smoking a cigar. No date or location is provided. This tintype was in the possession of Iris Sloman Bell, of St. Catharines, Ontario. Relatives of the Sloman - Bell families are descended from former slaves from the United States who settled in Canada."Tintypes were the invention of Prof. Hamilton Smith of Ohio. They begin as thin sheets of iron, covered with a layer of black paint. This serves as the base for the same iodized collodion coating and silver nitrate bath used in the ambrotype process. First made in 1856, millions were produced well into the twentieth century. When tintypes were finished in the same sorts of mats and cases used for ambrotypes, it can be almost impossible to distinguish which process was used without removing the image to examine the substrate."

Detection of tobacco mosaic tobamovirus in cigarettes through RT-PCR

TMV was tried to recover from a variety of branded cigarettes and cigars. Tobacco from six different brands of cigarettes and cigar were processed and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was employed for the detection of TMV. RTPCR confirmed the presence of TMV in tobacco from one brand of cigarette and one brand of cigar. Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were inoculated manually with tobacco sap of cigarettes resulting in the production of localized disease lesions. Together, these results showed that tobacco used to make cigarettes and cigars can function as an effective disease vector, potentially aiding the movement of infectious TMV between countries. This is an important finding prompting a need to test smoking tobacco for other virus particles that infect tobacco plants and survive processing as well as considering biosecurity measures to limit virus transmission
