Microwave spectroscopy experiments have been performed on two quantum levels of a macroscopic superconducting loop with three Josephson junctions. Level repulsion of the ground state and first excited state is found where two classical persistent-current states with opposite polarity are degenerate, indicating symmetric and antisymmetric quantum superpositions of macroscopic states. The two cla...

Reliable traffic information is essential for the development of efficient traffic control and management strategies for traffic networks in advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) and advanced traveler information systems (ATIS). Real-time traffic information is utilized for various purposes such as dynamic route guidance, incident detection, and control of variable message signs. Traffic i...

The aim of quantum mechanics is to explain macroscopic, objectively recorded phenomena. Microscopic objects are measured by enabling them to interact with a macroscopic measuring apparatus prepared in a metastable state. Macroscopic objects, such as cats, are not above the laws of quantum mechanics, but owing to their enormously dense level spectrum other aspects than single eigenvalues and eig...

The escape-rate formalism and the thermostating algorithm describe relaxation towards a decaying state with absorbing boundaries and a steady state of periodic systems, respectively. It has been shown that the key features of the transport properties of both approaches, if modeled by low-dimensional dynamical systems, can conveniently be described in the framework of multibaker maps. In the pre...

The goal of this research was to investigate the type and frequency of mandibular and maxillary lesions that could not be diagnosed relying solely on external macroscopic observation. The sample comprised of 189 maxillae and 182 mandibles from a late-medieval graveyard. The material was examined both macroscopically and radiologically, using traditional X-ray facilities, orthopantomographs, and...

aim : to assess the clinical characteristic of cd as well as correlation of symptoms and the degrees of intestinal mucosal lesions in iranian children. background : microscopic enteritis (marsh 0-ii) is associated with malabsorption. patients and methods : from august 2005 to september 2009, 111 cases with malabsorption and classical gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated. results : the mean ...

We construct new D-brane bound states using charged macroscopic type IIB string solutions. A generic bound state solution, when dimensionally reduced, carries multiple gauge charges. Starting with D = 9 charged macroscopic strings, we obtain solutions in D = 10, which are interpreted as carrying (F , D0, D2) charges as well as nonzero momenta. The masses and charges are also explicitly shown to...

One-way functions are functions that are easy to compute but hard to invert. Their existence is an open conjecture; it would imply the existence of intractable problems (i.e. NP-problems which are not in the P complexity class). If true, the existence of one-way functions would have an impact on the theoretical framework of physics, in particularly, quantum mechanics. Such aspect of one-way fun...

purpose : this study was performed to compare complications and clinical course of microscopic and macroscopic hyphema resulting from blunt ocular trauma methods : in a prospective observational case series during the period 21 march 2010 to 20 march 2011 all referred patient with traumatic hyphema to ophthalmic emergency ward of ahvaz, main city of southwest of iran that met inclusion criteria...
