Unreasonable and ` ` Unreasonable ’ ’ in Quantum Mechanics ?
The particles of quantum mechanics (QM) are discrete undulatory entities which are described in terms of the complex state vectors of the theory in full agreement with experiment. The wave± particle paradox stems from the fact that undulation and discreteness are inconsistent within the classical theory which was historically the point of departure for the canonical foundation . The author desc...
متن کاملUnreasonable Care
This paper examines “doctrinal feedback” in negligence law, and specifically in medical malpractice. Doctrinal feedback is an organic, reiterative process that causes inadvertent and inadvisable changes in both law and practice. It occurs when: (1) the ambiguity of the applicable legal standard prompts those it governs to behave overcautiously, so as to avoid the gray areas of liability; (2) th...
متن کاملFast Fencing
We consider very natural “fence enclosure” problems studied by Capoyleas, Rote, and Woeginger and Arkin, Khuller, and Mitchell in the early 90s. Given a set S of n points in the plane, we aim at finding a set of closed curves such that (1) each point is enclosed by a curve and (2) the total length of the curves is minimized. We consider two main variants. In the first variant, we pay a unit cos...
متن کاملPaul Workman: Drugging the Cancer Genome
What challenges exist, even for cancer prevention approaches that have been shown to be effective? Cancer prevention, in the form of chemoprevention, has had major successes, demonstrated in Phase III randomized clinical trials (RCTs). The Breast Cancer Prevention Trial showed that tamoxifen reduced the risk of breast cancer in women at high risk by Gail model criteria by 50%, even more for est...
متن کاملThe unreasonable effectiveness of martingales
Proof. Consider p-bond percolation on an an infinite dregular tree T rooted at ρ and write CT (ρ) for the component containing ρ. Write CG(v) for the component of v in Gp. It is clear that we can couple such that |CG(v)| ≤ |CT (ρ)|. Recall the exploration process on T : At time t = 0 only ρ = v1 is active, other vertices neutral. At time t ≥ 0 if the number of active vertices Mt > 0, then set t...
