Lyra's geometry and cosmology: A Review
The Lyra's geometry, which is a generalization of Weyl's geometry (removing the defect of non-integrability of length transfer) and the gravitational theory and cosmology based on this geometry have been reviewed. Further, cosmological models with both constant and time dependent displacement field have been discussed. Some of these models solve the singularity, entropy and horizon problems. Finally some possibilities of further problems and their investigations have been pointed out.

Liouville space-time in general projective relativity
Vacuum field equations of general projective relativity have been solved for Liouville space-time. Finally harmonic coordinate condition and singular behaviour of Kretschmann scalar for the solution is discussed.

Some cosmological models with constant deceleration parameter
SummaryBerman (1983) presented a law of variation of Hubble’s parameter that yields constant deceleration parameter models of the Universe. In this paper, Robertson-Walker models have been studied in Einstein’s theory with cosmological term and in cosmological theory based on Lyra’s geometry. Some simple models have been obtained. The necessary relations in each model have been derived, considering a perfect fluid.

A unified approach to charged-fluid distributions in general relativity
SummaryThe exact solutions for a charged perfect fluid are derived. The general analytical solution obtained depends on an arbitrary function of one of the space coordinates. As an illustration of the proposed method, the solution for a charged infinite plane has been obtained.

Cosmological models in generalized scalar-tensor theory with cosmological term and bulk viscosity
Exponential and power law solutions for homogeneous cosmological modelshave been discussed in a generalized scalar-tensor theory where both thecosmological term Λ and coupling parameter ω are taken tobe functions of the scalar field φ, along with the bulk viscousstress of the cosmic fluid. Assuming simple relationships of the scalarfield with the cosmological term and the coupling parameter, all thesolutions are studied in Dicke's revised units. By use of a conformaltransformation, the solutions are also expressed in atomic units.

String cosmology with electromagnetic fields in Bianchi-type-II, -VIII and -IX space-time
SummaryA new class of physically relevant exact cosmological solutions for massive strings in the presence of electromagnetic fields has been obtained in Bianchi-type-II, -VIII and -IX space-time. The physical and the kinematical behaviour of these models have been discussed.

K-shell fluorescence yield of Cs
A new technique has been developed in the measurement of the K-shell fluorescence yield of cesium from the analysis of the sum peaks observed with a high resolution intrinsic Ge detector. The value found is ..omega../sub k/(Cs) = 0.896(16), which is in good agreement with the fitted value of Bambynek et al.

Anomalous behavior of the level density parameter in neutron and charged particle evaporation
The compound nucleus $^{76}\mathrm{Kr}*$ was populated at the excitation energy of $75\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{MeV}$ and angular momentum of $39\ensuremath{\hbar}$ in fusion reactions with two complementary, mass-symmetric $(^{31}\mathrm{P}+^{45}\mathrm{Sc})$ and mass-asymmetric $(^{12}\mathrm{C}+^{64}\mathrm{Zn})$ entrance channels. The neutron evaporation spectra were measured and compared with the predictions of statistical model calculations using the transmission coefficients for the spherical nuclei in the inverse absorption channel, the rotating liquid drop model moment of inertia, and the normal systematic value of $A∕8$ for the level density parameter $a$. The results for the mass-asymmetric reaction are found to be consistent with the predictions of the statistical model calculations. However, for the mass-symmetric reaction $(^{31}\mathrm{P}+^{45}\mathrm{Sc})$, the experimental spectra are found to be harder than the theoretical neutron spectra and the statistical model calculations require a lower value of $A∕10$ for the parameter $a$ to reproduce the shape of the experimental spectra, indicating the neutron to be evaporated at higher temperature for the same excitation energy and angular momentum in symmetric system. According to the dynamical model, the formation time $(37\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}22}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{sec})$ of the compound nucleus for the symmetric $^{31}\mathrm{P}+^{45}\mathrm{Sc}$ system is significantly higher than that $(29\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}22}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{sec})$ for the asymmetric $^{12}\mathrm{C}+^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$ system. This may probably lead to the formation of a temperature-equilibrated dinuclear complex that may be responsible for neutron emission at higher temperature in the case of the symmetric system.

Measurement of neutron multiplicity from fission of {sup 228}U and nuclear dissipation
Pre- and post-scission neutron multiplicities are measured at different excitation energies of the compound nucleus {sup 228}U populated using the {sup 19}F+{sup 209}Bi reaction. The measured yield of pre-scission and total neutrons are compared with the statistical model calculation for the decay of a compound nucleus. The statistical model calculations are performed using the Bohr-Wheeler transition state fission width as well as the dissipative dynamical fission width due to Kramers. Comparison between the measured and the calculated values shows that, while the Bohr-Wheeler fission width grossly underestimates the pre-scission neutron yield, a large amount of dissipation is required in the Kramers width to fit the experimental pre-scission multiplicities. Various factors contributing to the large excitation energy dependence of the fitted values of the dissipation coefficient are discussed.

Montage: a grid portal and software toolkit for science-grade astronomical image mosaicking
Montage is a portable software toolkit to construct custom, science-grade mosaics that preserve the astrometry and photometry of astronomical sources. The user specifies the dataset, wavelength, sky location, mosaic size, coordinate system, projection, and spatial sampling. Montage supports massive astronomical datasets that may be stored in distributed archives. Montage can be run on both single- and multi-processor computers, including clusters and grids. Standard grid tools are used to access remote data or run Montage on remote computers. This paper describes the architecture, algorithms, performance, and usage of Montage as both a software toolkit and a grid portal.
