Could Only Fermions Be Elementary?

In standard Poincare and anti de Sitter SO(2,3) invariant theories, antiparticles are related to negative energy solutions of covariant equations while independent positive energy unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of the symmetry group are used for describing both a particle and its antiparticle. Such an approach cannot be applied in de Sitter SO(1,4) invariant theory. We argue that it...

What if we could prevent heart failure?

a r k a p D a e c o a d i i a c t fi At 40 years of age, American men and women have a 1 in 5 lifetime risk of the development of heart failure (HF); by the latest estimates, there are 5,700,000 people in the United States who already have a diagnosis of the disease.

What if Machines Could be Creative?

Computational creativity is the field of research that is concerned with making computers creative. In this paper, we focus on a particular subfield of this domain, combinatorial creativity. This subfield is concerned with combining components of existing concepts into new concepts. For example, we can combine the concept of a watch with the capabilities of a smartphone – and obtain a smartwatc...
