Strong interactions and the ÄI = 1/2 rule in weak nonleptonic decay
TL;DR: The possible importance of the two-quark operator which appears in the Wilson expansion of the non-leptonic Hamiltonian in models with right-handed currents is examined in this article.

The Quantum Theory of General Relativity at Low Energies
TL;DR: In quantum field theory there is a well developed technique, effective field theory, which allows one to obtain low energy quantum predictions in non-renormalizable theories, using only the degrees of freedom and interactions appropriate for those energies as mentioned in this paper.

Spatial variation of fundamental couplings and Lunar Laser Ranging
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the millimeter-precision Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation provides a very sensitive probe of such variation that has the capability of detecting a cosmic gradient of the ratio between the quark masses and the strong interaction scale at the level with the gradient of ln (m_quark/Lambda_QCD) ~ 2.6 x 10^-6 Glyr^-1.
