The measurement problem concerns an apparent conflict between the two fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, namely Schrödinger equation and postulate. These describe inconsistent behavior for systems in so-called “measurement contexts.” Many theorists have thought that can only be resolved by proposing a mechanistic explanation (genuine or apparent) wavefunction collapse avoids explicit ...

Currently economic growth in a New York City watershed is limited due to phosphorus concentrations exceeding standards. The phosphorus concentration in the Cannonsville reservoir in New York State must be reduced to safeguard New York City’s drinking water supply, and to enable economic growth to continue in the reservoir’s watershed. In Delaware County, where the reservoir is located, the prob...

Because hydrologic responses of an agricultural watershed are influenced by many natural and man-made factors including pond/reservoir, management practices, and/or irrigation/drainage, strategies of hydrological modeling for the watershed must be case-dependent and thus carefully designed to effectively reflect their roles as critical hydrologic components in simulation processes. In this stud...
