The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

We argue that recent advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in the domain art (e.g., music, painting) pose a profound ontological threat to anthropocentric worldviews because they challenge one last frontiers human uniqueness narrative: artistic creativity. Four experiments (N = 1708), including high-powered preregistered experiment, consistently reveal pervasive bias against AI-made artworks...

[1] Water scarcity may appear to be a simple concept, but it can be difficult to apply to complex natural-human systems. While aggregate scarcity indices are straightforward to compute, they do not adequately represent the spatial and temporal variations in water scarcity that arise from complex systems interactions. The uncertain effects of future climate change on water scarcity add to the ne...

Anthropocentric biocybernetic computing uses machine learning to provide a heightened level of understanding of human perceptions of complex systems. In this chapter, such processes are the catalyst for the development of two new methods for architectural and urban analysis and the revision and expansion of a third, existing method. The two new methods rely on, respectively, the ‘Hough transfor...

Abstract Can the main methods of social welfare analysis be extended to cover multiple species? Following a non-anthropocentric approach, we examine pros and cons various objective subjective well-being comparisons across species. We argue against normalizing by specific capacities but in favor taking account individual preferences specializations. While many conceptual practical difficulties r...

Whilst the fundamental laws of physics are time-reversal invariant, most macroscopic processes are irreversible. Given that the fundamental laws are taken to underpin all other processes, how can the fundamental time-symmetry be reconciled with the asymmetry manifest elsewhere? In statistical mechanics, progress can be made with this question; what I dub the Zwanzig-Zeh-Wallace framework can be...
