Quantum Geometrodynamics Creates New Problems

The development of last years in quantum geometrodynamics highlights new problems which were not obvious in its first formulation proposed by Wheeler and DeWitt. At the first stage the main task was to apply known quantization schemes to gravitational field or a certain cosmological model. This way has led to the realization of the fact that a quantum description of the Universe is impossible w...

How e-learning creates new opportunities in hospital settings? Innovations in a low resource setting

Background: E-learning and telemedicine have become common methods in changing and developing medical education and clinical processes. The purpose of this study was to describe the innovations of blending e-Learning into the educational and medical processes of hospital services Methods: The process of action research included plan, act, observation and reflection was followed. Implementation,...

Chemistry in a One-Dimensional World

Figure 1: Periodic table in 1D. numbers of electrons have significant dipole moments and are thus reactive species [1]. Alternatively, atoms with even numbers of electrons are inert and do not have any dipole moment due to their symmetry. Based on these results, we have built the 1D version of the Mendeleev’s periodic table which only consists of two groups: alkali metals and noble gases, as sh...

RBN-World - A Sub-symbolic Artificial Chemistry

We describe an approach based upon composable dynamical systems which uses the emergent properties of linked random Boolean networks (RBNs) as a basis for a sub-symbolic artificial chemistry. The approach shows potential for open-ended and emergent properties, and may lead to a basis for artificial life.
