How Stands Collapse I

In this volume in honor of GianCarlo Ghirardi, I discuss my involvement with ideas of dynamical collapse of the state vector. 10 problems are introduced, 9 of which were seen following my initial work. 4 of these problems had a resolution in GianCarlo Ghirardi, Alberto Rimini and Tullio Weber’s Spontaneous Localization (SL) model (which added 1 more problem). This stimulated a (somewhat differe...

Bowen Ratio Estimates of Evapotranspiration for<i>Tamarix Ramosissima</i> Stands on the Virgin River in SouthernNevada

A Bowen ratio energy balance was conducted over a Tamarix ramosissima (saltcedar) stand growing in a riparian corridor along the Virgin River in southern Nevada. Measurements in two separate years were compared and contrasted on the basis of changes in growing conditions. In 1994, a drought year, record high temperatures, dry winds, and a falling water table caused partial wilt of outer smaller...

Fungicidal Treatments for Improving Sugarcan'e Stands

Another experiment was carried out in which the opposite environmental conditions were obtained, viz., those of waterlogging. In this a comparison was made between applying Ceresan on the cutting and on the soil. Co.290 was planted, and after planting, 11 inches of rain fell in 18 days; the field was under water for some considerable time. In a previous paperreference was made to the beneficial...

Evidence for biological L\'evy flights stands

Edwards et al. 1 revisited well-known studies reporting power-laws in the frequency distribution of flight duration of wandering albatrosses 2,3 , and concluded that no Lévy process 4,5 could model recent observations with higher resolution. Here we show that this re-analysis 1 suffers from a conceptual misunderstanding, and that the new albatross data remain consistent with a biological Lévy f...
