Abstract An extraordinary, if circumscribed, positive shift has occurred since the mid‐twentieth century in perceived status of Hugh Everett III's 1956 theory universal wave function quantum mechanics, now widely called Many‐Worlds Interpretation (MWI). Everett's starkly new interpretation denied existence a separate classical realm, contending that experimental data can be seen as presenting s...

In this paper, I would like to outline what think is the most natural interpretation of quantum mechanics. By natural, simply mean that it requires least amount excess baggage and universal in sense can be consistently applied all observed phenomena, including universe as a whole. call “Everything Quantum Wave” Interpretation (EQWI) because more appropriate name than Many Worlds (MWI). The pape...

Drawing from the encouragement of Prof. Norman Uphoff to start SRI in Kenya, the first meeting to plan and introduce SRI was held at the Mwea Irrigation Scheme in July 2009, organized by Prof. Bancy Mati of JKUAT and Markus Moeller (then the Irrigation Specialist at the World Bank office in Kenya). The two drew together some like-minded individuals to form a collaborative team comprised of staf...

Myelin is important for the normal development and healthy function of the nervous system. Recent developments in MRI acquisition and tissue modeling aim to provide a better characterization and more specific markers for myelin. This allows for specific monitoring of myelination longitudinally and noninvasively in the healthy brain as well as assessment of treatment and intervention efficacy. H...

A number of alcohols, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids were oxidized under mild conditions (60-80°C, 3 M H2S04 in water) by Fe(II1) using a catalytic amount of Pt black to generate Fe(I1) and protons. The extent of oxidation depended on the structures of the organic reductant and on reaction conditions. A redox fuel cell that catalyzed the complete oxidation of ethylene glycol by dioxygen at 80°...

Protein structure analysis from DNA sequences is an important and fast growing area in both computeT science and biochemistry. Although interesting approaches have been studied, it is very dificult to capture the characteristics of protein, since even a simple protein are made of more than 100 amino acids, which makes biochemical experiments very dificult to detect functional components. For th...

This work investigated the characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) in stack-flue gases from six stationary emission sources in five types of incinerators: industrial waste incinerator (IWI), small-scale municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI), medical waste incinerator (MWI), cement kilns (CK), and crematories (CR). These characteristics were further inv...

Organic conjugated compounds containing various substituents 3-amino-2,4-dicyano-1-aryl-9H-fluorene and 1-dicyanomethylene-2-aryl-indone derivatives were successfully obtained. Various routes synthesis methods, such as one-pot, multi-step, microwave irradiation (MWI), explored for efficiency. Spectroscopic methods used to characterize of the synthesized compounds. Furthermore (E)-2-(2-(anthrace...

We developed a data assimilation method that incorporates the microwave imager (MWI) brightness temperatures (TBs) into the cloud-resolving model (CRM) developed by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMANHM). This method consisted of a displacement error correction scheme and an Ensemble-based variational assimilation scheme. In the displacement error correction scheme, we obtained the optimum di...
