Physical acceptability of isolated, static, spherically symmetric, perfect fluid solutions of Einstein's equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the exact solutions to Einstein's equations are compared to the field associated with an isolated static spherically symmetric perfect fluid source, and the candidate solutions are subjected to the following elementary tests: (i) isotropy of the pressure, (ii) regularity at the origin, (iii) positive definiteness of the energy density and pressure at the beginning, vanishing of pressure at some finite radius, and (iv) monotonic decrease of the EE with increasing radius.

Paradise Is a Bazaar? Greed, Creed, and Governance in Civil War, 1989-99*

TL;DR: Some prominent recent studies of civil war argue that greed, not grievance, is the primary motivating factor behind violence, basing their conclusions on a strong empirical association between primitives and greed as discussed by the authors.

Beyond ΛCDM: Problems, solutions, and the road ahead

TL;DR: There is a persistent interest in extending cosmology beyond the standard model, ΛCDM, motivated by a range of apparently serious theoretical issues, involving such questions as the cosmological constant problem, the particle nature of dark matter, the validity of general relativity on large scales, the existence of anomalies in the CMB and on small scales, and the predictivity and testability of the inflationary paradigm as mentioned in this paper.

Beyond $\Lambda$CDM: Problems, solutions, and the road ahead

TL;DR: There is a persistent interest in extending cosmology beyond the standard model, $\Lambda$CDM as discussed by the authors, motivated by a range of apparently serious theoretical issues, involving such questions as the cosmological constant problem, the particle nature of dark matter, the validity of general relativity on large scales, the existence of anomalies in the CMB and on small scales, and the predictivity and testability of the inflationary paradigm.
