Uncertainty is ubiquitous in the natural, engineered, and social environments. Devising rationales for explaining it, strategies for its integration into scientific determinism and mitigating its consequences has been an active arena of rational endeavor where many scientific concepts have taken turn at fame and infamy. Far from being a static concept, uncertainty is the complement of knowledge...

Over years of evolution, Mother Nature is able to produce precise, differentiable and intriguing morphologies in biological systems. The mechanisms underpinning the formation of these fascinating shapes and patterns have evoked scientists’ interests for centuries. While there is no doubt that the biological and genetic factors significantly influence morphogenesis, the active role of physics an...

Till now, kinetic theory and statistical mechanics of either free or interacting point particles were well defined only in non-relativistic inertial frames in the absence of the long-range inertial forces present in accelerated frames. As shown in the introductory review at the relativistic level, only a relativistic kinetic theory of “world-lines” in inertial frames was known till recently due...

an attempt is made to show in a straightforward way how a body-fixed frame may be constructed in classical and hence in quantum mechanics for a polyatomic molecule with the aid of which the vibration-rotation behavior of the molecule may be described.

Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia and in the management of ulcerative colitis (UC) and to provide appropriate results in treatment. Dasatinib is significantly higher and faster than full cytogenetic and large molecular responses as compared to imatinib. In the recent study, using the NMR data, the frequency and thermochemical propertie...

This is the third seminar in our mini series detailing how Physics feeds into Geometry. In the first seminar I gave an introduction to Mechanics from a Mathematician’s point of view. In the second, Paul Cooper showed how some specific problems in Classical Mechanics give rise to problems in geometry. In this talk, I intend to do the same for Quantum Mechanics. What I would like to do is concent...

In the long version of his Ph.D. thesis, Hugh Everett III developed pure wave mechanics as a way of solving the quantum measurement problem faced by the standard von Neumann-Dirac collapse formulation of quantum mechanics. Pure wave mechanics, however, encounters problems of its own. I will brief review Everett‟s description in his thesis of the standard measurement problem, how pure wave mecha...
