How Fast Is the Sessile Ciona?

Genomewide analyses of distances between orthologous gene pairs from the ascidian species Ciona intestinalis and Ciona savignyi were compared with those of vertebrates. Combining this data with a detailed and careful use of vertebrate fossil records, we estimated the time of divergence between the two ascidians nearly 180 My. This estimation was obtained after correcting for the different subst...

How fast is the wave function collapse ?

Using complex quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formulation, a new kind of non-linear equations is proposed that have almost classical structure and extend the Schrödinger equation to describe the collapse of the wave function as a finite-time process. Experimental bounds on the collapse time are of order 0.1 ms to 0.1 ps and the areas where sensitive probes of the possible collapse dynamics can be done ...

Rapid Visual Flow: How Fast Is Too Fast?

It is becoming increasingly common for user interfaces to use zooming visual effects that automatically adapt to user actions. The MacOs X ‘dock’ icon panel, for instance, uses a fisheye distortion to assist users in targeting items. Another example is ‘speed-dependent automatic zooming’, which has been shown to improve scrolling by automatically varying zoom level with scroll speed—when scroll...
