Ideas and Innovations: Which should be subsidized?

The Bayh-Dole Act allows universities to commercialize their research. University laboratories therefore have two sources of funds: direct grants from the government and funds from commercialization. In addition to giving direct subsidies to university laboratories, the government also subsidizes the commercial sector, for example, through tax credits. Subsidies to commerce contribute indirectl...

Some ideas from thermodynamics

The branch of physics called thermodynamics deals with the laws governing the behavior of physical systems at finite temperature. These laws are phenomenological, in the sense that they represent empirical relations between various observed quantities. These quantities include pressure, temperature, density and other measurable parameters that define the state of a given system. Thus, in discus...

Some Quick Ideas

Sashka’s Technique applied to pFBP The key step in Sashka and Russel’s technique to prove lower bounds for pFBT was to prove that for each path p of length l, PrI [S(I) ⊢ PSp | I ⊢ PIp] ≤ 1 f . We extend this to a technique for pFBP. The key step is to prove that for each node v at depth l, PrI [S(I) ⊢ PSv | I ⊢ PIv] ≤ 1 f . My intuition was that PrI [S(I) ⊢ PSv | I ⊢ PIv] ≤ maxp∈v PrI [S(I) ⊢ ...

Neutrino Oscillations: Some Theoretical Ideas

Over the years, and especially since the discovery of the large mixing of νμ seen in atmospheric neutrino experiments, there have been numerous models of neutrino masses proposed in the literature. In the last two years alone, as many as one hundred different models have been published. One of the goals of this talk is to give a helpful classification of these models. Such a classification is p...
