Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Christian Sachse, Adrien Christophe Doerig

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...

Building perception block by block: a response to Fekete et al.

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Is consciousness a continuous stream, or do percepts occur only at certain moments of time? This age-old question is still under debate. Both positions face difficult problems, which we proposed to overcome with a 2-stage model, where unconscious processin ...

High Influence of Potassium Bromide on Thermal Decomposition of Ammonia Borane

Andreas Züttel

The present paper presents a thorough experimental investigation of mechanistic pathways of thermal decomposition of ammonia borane (AB) and its mixture with KBr. A comparative detection and temperature-dependent in situ monitoring of the decomposition pro ...

Influence of prestressing on the punching strength of post-tensioned slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, António Manuel Pinho Ramos, Thibault Clément

Previous researches on punching of post-tensioned slabs have shown a number of phenomena significantly influencing their strength and behaviour. However, no general agreement is yet found on a physical theory (either in codes of practice or in design model ...

Punching shear design in MC2010: incorporating new knowledge and grounding design expressions on physical models

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Model Code 2010 (MC2010) has presented a deep review on punching shear design with respect to previous versions of Model Code (1978, 1990). These changes have been motivated by the fact that MC2010 is grounded on a physical theory rather than on empirical ...

A comment on the construction of the maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy development

Willie Wai Yeung Wong

Under mild assumptions, we remove all traces of the axiom of choice from the construction of the maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy development in general relativity. The construction relies on the notion of direct union manifolds, which we review. The con ...

Physical realizability of small-world networks

Paolo De Los Rios, Thomas Petermann

Supplementing a lattice with long-range connections effectively models small-world networks characterized by a high local and global interconnectedness observed in systems ranging from society to the brain. If the links have a wiring cost associated with t ...
