Gender gaps and gendered action in a first-year physics laboratory [PDF]
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016 [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] It is established that male students outperform female students on almost all commonly used physics concept inventories.

Effective average action in statistical physics and quantum field theory [PDF]
, 2001 An exact renormalization group equation describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. It interpolates between the microphysical laws and the complex macroscopic phenomena.

Developing an action concept inventory
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016 We report on progress towards the development of an Action Concept Inventory (ACI), a test that measures student understanding of action principles in introductory mechanics and optics.

A tmQCD mixed-action approach to flavour physics
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018 We discuss a mixed-action approach in which sea quarks are regularised using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions, while a fully-twisted tmQCD action is used for valence quarks.

Decoding the physics of observed actions in the human brain
eLife, 2023 Abstract Recognizing goal-directed actions is a computationally challenging task, requiring not only the visual analysis of body movements, but also analysis of how these movements causally impact, and thereby induce a change in, those objects targeted by an action.

Equivariance, Variational Principles, and the Feynman Integral [PDF]
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2008 We argue that the variational calculus leading to Euler's equations and Noether's theorem can be replaced by equivariance and invariance conditions avoiding the action integral.

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 In dynamic (social) environments, an affective state of “stress” can be adaptive and promote agent wellbeing, but maladaptive if not appropriately regulated.

Causality in Discrete Time Physics Derived from Maupertuis Reduced Action Principle
Entropy, 2021 Causality describes the process and consequences from an action: a cause has an effect. Causality is preserved in classical physics as well as in special and general theories of relativity.
