The mathematical formalisms for classical and quantum physics look nothing alike. This is surely one reason why physics students find it difficult to learn quantum mechanics. It is surely also one of the reasons why QM fascinates philosophers — because its formalism seems to resist comparison with the formalism of classical physics. Our goal: We want to overcome this situation of apparent Kuhni...

In this work, we have tested 30 different adsorption situations in several coverage scenarios for the 1-amino-3-cyclopentene (ACP) molecule on the Si(100) surface. We have used a five-spot testing zone inserted in the high-level part of a quantum-mechanical/quantum-mechanical study performed in a big cluster. By defining several different scenarios, each one with a typical adsorption energy, we...

The effect of Mg2+ on the thermal inactivation and unfolding of rabbit muscle creatine kinase has been studied for various temperatures and Mg2+ concentrations. Increasing the Mg2+ concentration in the denatured system significantly enhanced the inactivation and unfolding of creatine kinase during thermal denaturation. The analysis of the kinetic course of substrate reaction during thermal inac...

This paper presents a WiFi-aided magnetic matching (MM) algorithm for indoor pedestrian navigation with consumer portable devices. This algorithm reduces both the mismatching rate (i.e., the rate of matching to an incorrect point that is more than 20 m away from the true value) and computational load of MM by using WiFi positioning solutions to limit the MM search space. Walking tests with Sams...
