description: Die Zunahme urbaner Lebensräume auf unserer Erde führt zu neuen und veränderten ökologischen Zonen und Beziehungsgefügen auch für Parasiten. Das Beispiel von drei verschiedenen Zeckenarten (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) zeigt, dass diese sich in unterschiedlichem Maße auf diese neuen Lebensräume adaptieren können und damit zu einem veränderten Risiko für die Übertragung von Pathogenen führen. Eine Generalisierung für einen Anstieg des Infektionsrisikos durch Zecken-übertragene Infektionen im Zuge der Urbanisierung ist damit nicht möglich. Jede in Frage kommende Zeckenart muss individuell aufgrund des jeweiligen Lebenszyklus betrachtet und eine Risikoeinschätzung der durch die Art übertragenen Pathogene vorgenommen werden. Tick species in the City: The increase in urban habitats causes new and changed ecological zones and systems. These changed new urban environments will be also used by new emerging and invading parasites. These changes will have a different impact for different tick species. The examples of three different tick species (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) show that each tick species may adapt in a different way to new urban habitats and may therefore cause changed risks of transmission of pathogens. A forecast of a generally increased risk of tick-transmitted infections is therefore non-reliable. The potential change of risk has to be evaluated individually for each tick species and its transmitted pathogens according to the respective tick life cycle.

description: We study the ground state properties of the interacting spinless fermions in the $p_{x,y}$-orbital bands in the two dimensional honeycomb optical lattice, which exhibit different novel features from those in the $p_z$-orbital system of graphene. In addition to two dispersive bands with Dirac cones, the tight-binding band structure exhibits another two completely flat bands over the entire Brillouin zone. With the realistic sinusoidal optical potential, the flat bands acquire a finite but much smaller band width compared to the dispersive bands. The band flatness dramatically enhanced interaction effects giving rise to various charge and bond ordered states at commensurate fillings of $n=\frac{i}{6} (i=1 \sim 6)$. At $n=1/6$, the many-body ground states can be exactly solved as the close packed hexagon states which can be stabilized even in the weak interacting regime. The dimerization of bonding strength occurs at both $n=1/2$ and 5/6, and the latter case is accompanied with the charge density wave of holes. The trimerization of bonding strength and charge inhomogeneity appear at $n={1/3},{2/3}$. These crystalline orders exhibit themselves in the noise correlations of the time of flight spectra.

description: As the size of software systems increases, the algorithms and data structures of the computation no longer constitute the major design problems. When systems are constructed from many components, the organization of the overall system -- the software architecture -- presents a new set of design problems. This level of design has been addressed in a number of ways including informal diagrams and descriptive terms, module interconnection languages, templates and frameworks for systems that serve the needs of specific domains, and formal models of component integration mechanisms. In this paper we provide an introduction to the emerging field of software architecture. We begin by considering a number of common architectural styles upon which many systems are currently based and show how different styles can be combined in a single design. Then we present six case studies to illustrate how architectural representations can improve our understanding of complex software systems. Finally, we survey some of the outstanding problems in the field, and consider a few of the promising research directions.

description: In recent years there have been multiple successful attempts tackling document processing problems separately by designing task specific hand-tuned strategies. We argue that the diversity of historical document processing tasks prohibits to solve them one at a time and shows a need for designing generic approaches in order to handle the variability of historical series. In this paper, we address multiple tasks simultaneously such as page extraction, baseline extraction, layout analysis or multiple typologies of illustrations and photograph extraction. We propose an open-source implementation of a CNN-based pixel-wise predictor coupled with task dependent post-processing blocks. We show that a single CNN-architecture can be used across tasks with competitive results. Moreover most of the task-specific post-precessing steps can be decomposed in a small number of simple and standard reusable operations, adding to the flexibility of our approach.

description: The reaction mechanisms for $KΣ(1385)$ photoproduction from the reaction $γp \to K^+Σ^{0}(1385)$ in the resonance energy region are investigated in a hadronic model. Both contributions from $N$ and $Δ$ resonances of masses around 2 GeV as given in the Review of Particle Data Group and by the quark model predictions are included. The Lagrangians for describing the decays of these resonances into $KΣ(1385)$ are constructed with the coupling constants determined from the decay amplitudes predicted by a quark model. Comparing the resulting total cross section for the reaction $γp \to K^+Σ^{0}(1385)$ with the preliminary data from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, we find that the most important contributions are from the two-star rated resonances $Δ(2000) F_{35}$, $Δ(1940) D_{33}$, and $N(2080) D_{13}$, as well as the missing resonance $N\frac32^-(2095)$ predicted in the quark model. Predictions on the differential cross section and photon asymmetry in this reaction are also given.

description: This paper considers the problem of solving systems of quadratic equations, namely, recovering an object of interest $\mathbf{x}^{\natural}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ from $m$ quadratic equations/samples $y_{i}=(\mathbf{a}_{i}^{\top}\mathbf{x}^{\natural})^{2}$, $1\leq i\leq m$. This problem, also dubbed as phase retrieval, spans multiple domains including physical sciences and machine learning. We investigate the efficiency of gradient descent (or Wirtinger flow) designed for the nonconvex least squares problem. We prove that under Gaussian designs, gradient descent --- when randomly initialized --- yields an $ε$-accurate solution in $O\big(\log n+\log(1/ε)\big)$ iterations given nearly minimal samples, thus achieving near-optimal computational and sample complexities at once. This provides the first global convergence guarantee concerning vanilla gradient descent for phase retrieval, without the need of (i) carefully-designed initialization, (ii) sample splitting, or (iii) sophisticated saddle-point escaping schemes. All of these are achieved by exploiting the statistical models in analyzing optimization algorithms, via a leave-one-out approach that enables the decoupling of certain statistical dependency between the gradient descent iterates and the data.

description: In this paper, we propose a methodology for partitioning and mapping computational intensive applications in reconfigurable hardware blocks of different granularity. A generic hybrid reconfigurable architecture is considered so as the methodology can be applicable to a large number of heterogeneous reconfigurable platforms. The methodology mainly consists of two stages, the analysis and the mapping of the application onto fine and coarse-grain hardware resources. A prototype framework consisting of analysis, partitioning and mapping tools has been also developed. For the coarse-grain reconfigurable hardware, we use our previous-developed high-performance coarse-grain data-path. In this work, the methodology is validated using two real-world applications, an OFDM transmitter and a JPEG encoder. In the case of the OFDM transmitter, a maximum clock cycles decrease of 82% relative to the ones in an all fine-grain mapping solution is achieved. The corresponding performance improvement for the JPEG is 43%.

description: Time-delayed differential equations arise frequently in the study of nonlinear dynamics of lasers with optical feedback. Traditionally, one has resorted to numerical methods because the analytical solution of such equations are intractable. In this manuscript, we show that under some conditions, the rate equations model that is used to model semiconductor lasers with feedback can be analytically solved by using the Lambert W function. In particular, we discuss the conditions under which the coupled rate equations for the intra-cavity electric field and excess carrier inversion can be reduced to a single equation for the field, and how this single rate equation can be cast in a form that is amenable to the use of the Lambert W function. We conclude the manuscript with a similar discussion for two lasers coupled via time-delayed feedbacks.

Neutronic chain reactions in bismuth salts

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2023

description: The production of the industrially significant radionuclide polonium-210 from the neutron irradiation of bismuth metal and the subsequent beta decay of bismuth-210 is highly inefficient due to the small neutron capture cross section of bismuth-209. In this paper, we report a previously undescribed self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction involving self- propagating neutron multiplication in bismuth salts that allow for rapid and cost-effective production of polonium- 210. The reaction proceeds in a cycle of three alternating elementary steps – the capture of neutrons by bismuth-209 and the subsequent formation of polonium-210, the emission of high-energy alpha particles by polonium-210, and the production of more neutrons from (α,n) and (n,2n) reactions on light element and bismuth-209 nuclei respectively. Furthermore, the high hydrogen density of the compound also confers it intrinsic neutron moderation properties, increasing the neutron capture cross section of bismuth-209 at thermal neutron energies. The chain reaction was proven to have successfully occurred by irradiating a sample of the bismuth salt with a 80 μCi neutron source and monitoring the activity levels of the reaction. It was found that the activity of the reaction increased exponentially after an initial stable period following a derived formula for polonium production trends for the reaction, thus validating the occurrence of the reaction. Furthermore, alpha spectroscopy confirmed that polonium-210 had been produced by characterising the 5.30 MeV alpha emission peak of the reaction in addition to using beta spectroscopy to identify the parent nuclide bismuth-210, further proving that the reaction was successful. Hence, this paper reports the successful initiation and characterisation of a novel nuclear chain reaction, and its potential applications offered by a method of rapidly producing large quantities of polonium-210.

description: Interactive user interfaces depend critically on underlying computing system facilities for input and output. However, most computing systems still have input-output facilities designed for batch processing. These facilities are not adequate for interfaces that rely on graphical output,interactive input, or software constructed with modern methodologies. This paper details the deficiencies of batch-style input-output for modern interactive systems, presents a new model for input-output that overcomes these deficiencies, and suggests software organizations to take advantage of the new model.

description: Single-Display Groupware (SDG) applications use a single display shared by multiple people. This kind of interaction has proven very useful for children, who often share a computer for games and educational software, and also for co-located meetings, where multiple people are in the same room discussing, annotating and editing a design or presentation which is shown on a computer screen. We have developed a number of SDG applications that use multiple 3Com PalmPilots and Windows CE devices to emulate a PC’s mouse and keyboard. All users can take turns sharing a single cursor to use existing applications like PowerPoint. We have also created other new applications where all users have their own independent cursors. This paper describes the architectural additions to the Amulet toolkit that make it easy for programmers to develop applications with multiple input streams from multiple users. Amulet supports shared or independent editing, and shared or independent undo streams. The implementation differs from other Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) architectures in that others have one Model and multiple Views and Controllers (one for each user), whereas we have one Model and one View, and multiple Controllers.

description: Verschmutzte Luft stellt weltweit das größte Umweltrisiko für die Gesundheit dar. Bezogen auf Deutschland sind es vor allem drei Luftschadstoffe, die die Gesundheit negativ beeinflussen: Feinstaub (PM), Stickstoffdi- oxid (NO2 ) und Ozon (O3 ). Luftschadstoffe treten in der Regel als Schadstoffgemisch auf und begünstigen primär das Auftreten von Atemwegs- und Herz-Kreislauferkrankungen. Zunehmend gibt es aber auch Hinweise darauf, dass Allergien, Diabetes mellitus Typ II, neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (z.B. Parkinson, Alzheimer) sowie verschiedene Einflüsse auf die Schwangerschaft (z.B. Dauer, Geburtskenngröße) im Zusammenhang mit der Exposition gegenüber Luftschadstoffen stehen. Effektive Maßnahmen zur Luftreinhaltung haben einen unmittelbaren Effekt und können die Belastung der Gesundheit deutlich reduzieren. Health relevance of air pollution: Air pollution is the greatest environmental risk to health worldwide. In Germany, three air pollutants in particular have a negative impact on health: particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) and ozone (O3 ). Air pollutants usually occur as a mixture of pollutants. They increase the likelihood of the occurrence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. However, there are also indications that allergies, diabetes mellitus type II, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Parkinson, Alzheimer) could be related to air pollution. Also the exposure to air pollutants could influence parameters of pregnancy (e.g. duration, birth parameters). Measures controlling air pollution have an immediate effect and can reduce the negative effects on health significantly.

The target system is MicroBlaze VanillaNet Platform running MicroBlaze uClinux operating system. The paper compares Register Transfer Level (RTL) Hardware Description Language (HDL) simulation speed to the simulation speed of several different SystemC models. It is shown that simulation speed of pin and cycle accurate models can go up to 150 kHz, compared to 100 Hz range of HDL simulation. Furthermore, utilising techniques that temporarily compromise cycle accuracy, effective simulation speed of up to 500 kHz can be obtained.

description: Abstract. Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 on Artificial Intelligence presents acomplex regulatory landscape, balancing AI governance with national securitypriorities. While the regulation enforces strict compliance measures for private-sector AI, it exempts military and defense applications, raising questions aboutaccountability and transparency. This paper critically examines the implicationsof these exemptions, particularly regarding their potential to reinforce state-controlled AI while limiting civilian innovation. By considering the AsilomarAI Principles, which emphasize safety, transparency, and alignment with humanvalues, this study explores whether the regulation effectively safeguards ethicalAI deployment. Historical parallels suggest that technological advancementsoften emerge from military applications before reaching civilian use, highlight-ing the importance of oversight in this transition. The analysis aims to con-tribute to the broader discourse on AI governance, examining whether currentregulatory approaches strike an equitable balance between security and societalprogress.This paper argues that while the AI Act claims to be human-centric, itfundamentally prioritizes military AI, creating a regulatory double standard thatundermines both ethical governance and human rights.

description: In contrast to standard critical phenomena, disordered systems need to be treated via the Functional Renormalization Group. The latter leads to a coarse grained disorder landscape, which after a finite renormalization becomes non-analytic, thus overcoming the predictions of the seemingly exact dimensional reduction. We review recent progress on how the non-analytic effective action can be measured both in simulations and experiments, and confront theory with numerical work.

They require both the flexibility of upgradeable devices (traditionally software based) and a powerful computing engine (typically hardware). In this context, programmable HW and dynamic reconfiguration allow novel approaches to the migration of algorithms from SW to HW. Thus, in the frame of the Symbad project, we propose an industrial design flow for reconfigurable SoC's. The goal of Symbad consists of developing a system level design platform for hardware and software SoC systems including formal and semi-formal verification techniques.

description: Die Luftqualität in Städten wird bei fortschreitendem Klimawandel auch überwiegend von den anthropogenen Primäremissionen abhängen. Eine Vielzahl von Städten in der Welt leidet unter stark verschmutzter Luft, wofür vornehmlich Emissionen aus den Sektoren Verkehr, Industrie und Hausbrand verantwortlich sind. Der Klimawandel wird die Konzentration der Schadstoffe verändern. Besonders zu erwähnen ist das bodennahe Ozon, das bei ansteigenden Temperaturen deutlich höhere Konzentrationen erreichen kann. Bei den Feinstaubkonzentrationen ist die Lage nicht ganz klar. In Regionen mit erhöhter Niederschlagsaktivität ist mit einem Anstieg der nassen Deposition zu rechnen. Erweiterte grüne Infrastrukturen können zu zusätz- liche BVOC-Emissionen und zu Einschränkungen der Ventilation in Städten führen. Urban air quality under Climate Change: The air quality will under future climate change also predominantly depend on primary anthropogenic emissions. Many cities in the world suffer from severe air pollution caused mainly by emissions from the sectors traffic, industry and residential heating. Among the air pollutants it will be especially ground-level ozone for which higher concentrations are expected due to increased temperatures. For particulate matter the overall effect of climate change is more complex to disentangle. In regions with a projected increase in precipitation amounts an increase in wet deposition is expected. Adaptation measures by employing urban trees should be aware of possible additional BVOC emissions and negative effects on ventilation.

description: In this work, we provided a proof-of-principle of efficient production of maximally entangled states using charged quantum dots coupled to vibrational modes. The physical system consists of two pairs of quantum dots, each pair with a single electron able to tunnel between the dots, thus encoding a qubit. The electrons, initially not coupled, interact with two bosonic vibrational modes. It is demonstrated that the electron-vibrational mode coupling drives to an effective electron-electron interaction, which is the main mechanism behind the formation of maximally quantum entangled electronic states. The effect of this coupling follows a non-monotonic behavior, which is explained through an effective hamiltonian which takes into account high order transition processes.

description: We study simple interacting particle systems on heterogeneous networks, including the voter model and the invasion process. These are both two-state models in which in an update event an individual changes state to agree with a neighbor. For the voter model, an individual "imports" its state from a randomly-chosen neighbor. Here the average time T_N to reach consensus for a network of N nodes with an uncorrelated degree distribution scales as N mu_1^2/mu_2, where mu_k is the kth moment of the degree distribution. Quick consensus thus arises on networks with broad degree distributions. We also identify the conservation law that characterizes the route by which consensus is reached. Parallel results are derived for the invasion process, in which the state of an agent is "exported" to a random neighbor. We further generalize to biased dynamics in which one state is favored. The probability for a single fitter mutant located at a node of degree k to overspread the population--the fixation probability--is proportional to k for the voter model and to 1/k for the invasion process.

description: Visual servoing is a manipulation control strategy that precisely positions objects using imprecisely calibrated camera-lens-manipulator systems. In order to quickly and easily integrate sensor-based manipulation strategies such as visual servoing into robotic systems, a system framework and a task representation must exist which facilitates this integration. The framework must also be extendable so that obsolete sensor systems can be easily replaced or extended as new technologies become available. In this paper, we present a framework for expectation-based visual servoing which visually guides tasks based on the expected visual appearance of the task. The appearance of the task is generated by a model of the environment that uses texture-mapped geometric models to represent objects. A system structure which facilitates the integration of various configurations of visual servoing systems is presented, as well as a hardware implementation of the proposed system and experimental results using a stereo camera system.

description: We report a survey for nitrogen sulfide (NS) toward regions of massive star formation. NS was observed by means of its 2Π1/2, J = 3/2 → 1/2, J = 5/2 → 3/2, and J = 7/2 → 5/2 transitions at 69, 115, and 161 GHz, respectively, and was detected toward 12 of 14 giant molecular clouds (GMCs) observed. Analysis of the hyperfine component relative line strengths suggests that NS emission is optically thin toward these sources, with the possible exception of Sgr B2(M). The fractional abundance of NS relative to molecular hydrogen is best defined for the Orion molecular cloud, where it is typically (1-4) × 10-10, which is about an order of magnitude larger than found by some recent gas-phase chemistry models developed for quiescent clouds. Toward OMC-1, the NS integrated intensity is strongly peaked toward KL, but also extends all along the Orion ridge, resembling the distribution of SO and CH3OH. We have identified a spectral feature seen toward several sources as the ortho-NKK = 404 → 313, J = 3 → 2, fine-structure component of methylene (CH2; cf. Hollis, Jewell, & Lovas). We also report the first detection of the SO+2Π1/2, J = 3/2 → 1/2, parity-e transition toward W51(MS) and L134N.

description: Die Zunahme langer Episoden extremer Hitze in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten hat einen Anstieg hitzeassoziierter Morbidität und Mortalität zur Folge, insbesondere in Verbindung mit den Charakteristika des städtischen Klimas, die zur Ausbildung urbaner Hitzeinseln führen. In Städten und Kommunen steht daher zunehmend neben dem Klimaschutz die gesundheitsbezogene Klimaanpassung im Fokus. Gemäß den Empfehlungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) spielt dabei die Entwicklung von Hitzeaktionsplänen eine wichtige Rolle. Urban Heat as a health burden: The characteristics of cities are generating urban heat islands. The increase of episodes of extreme heat during the last decades is a major health burden. Heat waves in populated areas are accompanied by an increase of morbidity and mortality. Preparedness for climate change includes mitigation as well as health-related adaptation. Heat-Health Action Plans as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) play an important role.

description: Neuronal diversity is crucial in the nervous system, which gives us the ability to respond to the environment, express emotions, and form ideas. One mechanism to achieve neuronal diversity is through neuronal asymmetry across the left-right axis of the brain. The stagging complexity poses challenges for us to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neuronal asymmetry differentiation. Many aspects related to neuronal asymmetry remain to be elucidated. Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system has been proven to be a powerful tool to address complex problems in neuronal development. This thesis presents two mechanisms in the establishment of asymmetry differentiation in the pair of AWC olfactory neurons in C. elegans. After general AWC identity is determined, they are specified into two functionally distinct subtypes AWCOFF and AWCON through a series of stochastic and coordinated events. The HMX/NKX transcription factor MLS-2 and a homothorax/Meis/TALE homeodomain protein UNC-62 specify the general AWC identity during early embryogenesis. Then in late embryogenesis, they function cell autonomously to promote the AWCON subtype. A mutation in apical junction molecule ajm-1 was identified from a non-biased forward genetic screen for the modifier of SLO BK potassium channel. It is sufficient and required to function in non-neuronal cells such as hypodermal and glial cells to regulate AWC asymmetry, possibly via its regulation on a mechanosensitive ion channel. Mechanisms described here may be conserved in mammalian systems and shed light on further understanding of neuronal diversity.

description: Formal verification techniques have been playing an important role in pre-silicon validation processes. One of the most important points considered in performing formal verification is to define good verification scopes; we should define clearly what to be verified formally upon designs under tests. We considered the following three practical requirements when we defined the scope of formal verification. They are (a) hard to verify (b) small to handle, and (c) easy to understand. Our novel approach is to break down generic properties for system into stereotype properties in block level and to define requirements for Verifiable RTL. Consequently, each designer instead of verification experts can describe properties of the design easily, and formal model checking can be applied systematically and thoroughly to all the leaf modules. During the development of a component chip for server platforms, we focused on RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) features and described more than 2000 properties in PSL. As a result of the formal verification, we found several critical logic bugs in a short time with limited resources, and successfully verified all of them. This paper presents a study of the functional verification methodology.

description: Motivated by the fact that many physical landscapes are characterized by long-range height-height correlations that are quantified by the Hurst exponent H, we investigate the statistical properties of the iso-height lines of correlated surfaces in the framework of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). We show numerically that in the continuum limit the external perimeter of a percolating cluster of correlated surfaces with H between -1 and zero is statistically equivalent to SLE curves. Our results suggest that the external perimeter also retains the Markovian properties, confirmed by the absence of time correlations in the driving function and the fact that the latter is Gaussian distributed for any specific time. We also confirm that for all H the variance of the winding angle grows logarithmically with size.

description: It has been shown that one can accommodate data (Bayes) and constraints (MaxEnt) in one method, the method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME) (Giffin 2007). In this paper we show a complex agent based example of inference with two different forms of information; moments and data. In this example, several agents each receive partial information about a system in the form of data. In addition, each agent agrees or is informed that there are certain global constraints on the system that are always true. The agents are then asked to make inferences about the entire system. The system becomes more complex as we add agents and allow them to share information. This system can have a geometrical form, such as a crystal structure. The shape may dictate how the agents are able to share information, such as sharing with nearest neighbors. This method can be used to model many systems where the agents or cells have local or partial information but must adhere to some global rules. This could also illustrate how the agents evolve and could illuminate emergent behavior of the system.

description: Little research exists measuring the effectiveness of privacy legislation as compared to self-regulation. As policy makers, advocates and industry groups debate new privacy legislation, empirical research on the effectiveness of existing privacy legislation is needed to help inform the debate. We conducted a longitudinal study of the privacy policies posted online between 1999 and 2005 for 50 companies in the US financial industry. We analyzed these policies to determine how they changed over this time period and what changes were likely prompted by compliance requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) privacy rule. We also conducted a similar analysis of the privacy policies from 10 retailers over the same time period. The retailers were not subject to US privacy regulation and thus serve as a control group. Our research shows that since the GLB Act has gone into effect, financial privacy notices are more complete, however we have not found a significant change in the privacy choices offered to consumers. We observed that large banks and credit card companies minimally comply with GLB. While complying with the regulation, they are still able to collect large amounts of information about customers and share the information extensively with affiliates. They also take advantage of the exceptions provided by the law to share with third parties without giving consumers choices. Finally, we observe that choices about third party sharing offered by financial institutions tend not be as good as those available from retailers.

description: We study interlayer exchange interaction in magnetic tunnel junctions with ferroelectric barrier. We focus on the influence of image forces on the voltage dependence of the interlayer magnetic interaction (magneto-electric effect). The influence of the image forces is twofold: 1) they significantly enforce magneto-electric effect occurring due to the surface charges at the interface between ferroelectric and ferromagnets; 2) in combination with voltage dependent dielectric constant of the ferroelectric barrier image forces cause an additional contribution to the magneto-electric effect in magnetic tunnel junctions. This contribution can exceed the one coming from surface charges. We compare the interlayer exchange coupling voltage variation with spin transfer torque effect and show that for half-metallic electrodes the interlayer exchange coupling variation is dominant and defines the magnetic state and dynamics of magnetization in the tunnel junction.

Four Physics Puzzles Viewed Ontologically: Duality, Collapse, Probability and Nonlocality

description: Wave-particle duality, wave function collapse, objective probability and nonlocality constitute four prominent puzzles in modern physics. Although these four topics may appear unrelated, a closer examination reveals that they do share some common assumptions at the foundational level that have characterized physics for the last 100 years. Progress can be made on these four topics only if we understand and possibly revise some long-held assumptions. This essay examines physics from the ontological perspective. Are quantized matter and quantized energy both entities and if so what does that imply? Does matter reside in space and progress in time whereas energy (radiation) resides in time and progresses in space? If so, what does this tell us? Energy has two identities, potential and kinetic. Does mass have two identities and if not why not? The expectation is that answers to these and similar questions will help us understand the connections between the four puzzles listed above.
