We show that the empty five-dimensional solutions of Davidson-Sonnenschtein-Vozmediano, Phys. Rev. D32 (1985)1330, in the " old " Kaluza-Klein gravity, under appropriate interpretation can generate an ample variety of cosmological models in 4D, which include the higher-dimensional modifications to general relativity predicted by " modern " versions of noncompactified 5D gravity as, e.g., induce...

Most structural Binding Theories predict a complementary distribution between reflexives and pronouns in picture noun phrases containing possessors (e.g. "Ken's picture of himself/him"). In two head-mounted eye-tracking experiments, listeners frequently violated Binding Theory predictions for reflexives, often interpreting the reflexives as taking an antecedent outside of the binding domain, an...

The logic–linguistic structure of quantum physics is analysed. The role of formal systems and interpretations in the representation of nature is investigated. The problems of decidability, completeness, and consistency can affect quantum physics in different ways. Bohr’s complementarity is of great interest, because it is a contradictory proposition. We shall see that the flowing of time preven...

There exists great interest and considerable effort to explain quark confinement in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) from the string theory viewpoint. The ideas of ’t Hooft, Polyakov, Witten, and others, and recent glueball spectrum or QCD string tension calculations in AdS theories are some illustrative examples of these activities. In a somewhat complementary approach, the search for a microscopi...

An analog phase discriminator, based on the two complementary CMOS switches, was proposed to measure the initial phase of the sinusoidal wave. The circuit structure of the phase discriminator and its principle were presented, and the phase computational formula was derived through a series of circuit theories. So the initial phase was acquired directly from the circuit, which covered a wide fre...

Abstract Censure, blame and harms are central concepts in sentencing that have evolved over the years to take into account social context experiential knowledge. Flexibility, however, remains limited as current analysis focuses on offender while failing engage with state's contribution creating wrongs harms. This risks giving rise defective practices of responsibility since state can also contr...
