Teaching about non-deterministic physics: an almost forgotten fundamental contribution of Marie Curie

The first historical steps of radioactivity research offer an excellent opportunity to teach a key concept of modern physics: non-deterministic phenomena. However, this opportunity is often wasted because of historical misconceptions and of the irrational ...

Disruption avoidance and investigation of the H-Mode density limit in ASDEX Upgrade

Alessandro Pau, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Bernhard Sieglin

In recent years a strong effort has been made to investigate disruption avoidance schemes in order to aid the development of integrated operational scenarios for ITER. Within the EUROfusion programme the disruptive H-mode density limit (HDL) has been studi ...

Gravitational causality and the self-stress of photons

Brando Bellazzini, Giulia Isabella

We study causality in gravitational systems beyond the classical limit. Using on-shell methods, we consider the 1-loop corrections from charged particles to the photon energy-momentum tensor - the self-stress - that controls the quantum interaction between ...

Stimulus evoked causality estimation in stereo-EEG

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Objective. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) has recently gained importance in analyzing brain functions. Its high temporal resolution and spatial specificity make it a powerful tool to investigate the strength, direction, and spectral content of brain ...

Conditional separable effects

Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet

Researchers are often interested in treatment effects on outcomes that are only defined conditional on a post-treatment event status. For example, in a study of the effect of different cancer treatments on quality of life at end of follow-up, the quality o ...

Electromagnetic fields in a time-varying medium: Exceptional points and operator symmetries

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Theodoros Koutserimpas

In this paper, we study the interactions of electromagnetic waves with a non-dispersive dynamic medium that is temporally dependent. Electromagnetic fields under material time-modulation conserve their momentum but not their energy. We assume a time-variat ...

The additive hazard estimator is consistent for continuous-time marginal structural models

Mats Julius Stensrud, Pal Christie Ryalen

Marginal structural models (MSMs) allow for causal analysis of longitudinal data. The standard MSM is based on discrete time models, but the continuous-time MSM is a conceptually appealing alternative for survival analysis. In applied analyses, it is often ...

Correlation vs. Causality in Other-Triggered Tower Flashes

Marcos Rubinstein

Upward lightning flashes from towers are sometimes preceded by other lightning activity in the vicinity of the tower. This observation has led to a classification of upward tower lightning into self-initiated, which are not preceded by nearby lightning act ...

Detection of Movement Related Cortical Potential: Effects of Causal vs. Non-Causal Processing

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

Movement Related Cortical Potentials (MRCP) have been the subject of numerous studies. They accompany many self-initiated movements and this makes them a good candidate for incorporation in BCI paradigms. In this work we propose a novel experimental protoc ...

On Synthesis for Unbounded Bit-vector Arithmetic

Viktor Kuncak, Andrej Spielmann

We propose to describe computations using QFPAbit, a language of quantifier-free linear arithmetic on unbounded integers with bitvector operations. Given a QFPAbit formula with input and output variables, we describe an algo- rithm that generates an effici ...
