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 ...

Asymptotic freedom, Haldane gap and edge states of SU(N) spin chains

Samuel Gozel

In this thesis we study various one-dimensional quantum spin systems with SU(2) and SU(N) symmetry. We investigate the short-distance behavior of the SU(2) Heisenberg model in the limit of large spin and show that there exists an extended regime where pert ...

DNA-protein interactions explored by atomic force microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas

DNA-protein interactions play an important role in all living organisms on Earth. The advent of atomic force microscopy permitted for the first time to follow and to characterize interaction forces between these two molecular species. After a short descrip ...

Between the Lines: On the Explicit and Implicit in Writing and Building

Matthew Skjonsberg

Narratives employed when writing about a place and building a place have a central theme in common: both weave between the human, personal and emotional experience of place and the physical, spatial and atmospheric place – a dialogue between the inner and ...

ECMA-407: A New 3D audio codec implementation up to NHK 22.2

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

ECMA-407, the first 3D audio standard worldwide, introduces a new concept of static models to lower bitrate coding, which may be equally applied with channels, channels and objects and Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA). Static models may either operate in time ...

Acoustic Echoes Reveal Room Shape

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu, Ivan Dokmanic, Reza Parhizkar, Andreas Walther

Imagine that you are blindfolded inside an unknown room. You snap your fingers and listen to the room’s response. Can you hear the shape of the room? Some people can do it naturally, but can we design computer algorithms that hear rooms? We show how to com ...

Equivalent Theories of Liquid Crystal Dynamics

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz, Cesare Tronci

There are two competing descriptions of nematic liquid crystal dynamics: the Ericksen-Leslie director theory and the Eringen micropolar approach. Up to this day, these two descriptions have remained distinct in spite of several attempts to show that the mi ...
