Lucky To Be Alive, Luckier to Breed: Lifetime Reproduction in Weddell Seals
In our analysis we obtained the distribution of LRS following a theoretical and an empirical approach and compared outcomes. Our theoretical LRS distribution was strikingly similar to the empirical distribution estimated from females experiencing natural intrinsic trait variability and extrinsic environmental variability.

Investigating Bell’s Theorem on Correlated Systems Utilizing Monte Carlo Methods [PDF]
Bell’s inequality is an expression which can be employed in order to test for the existence of hidden variables in a correlated system. The idea of hidden variables was introduced as a potential explanation for the quantum mechanical phenomenon of non ...

Connecting extended Wigner's friend arguments and noncontextuality [PDF]
The Local Friendliness argument is an extended Wigner's friend no-go theorem that provides strong constraints on the nature of reality – stronger even than those imposed by Bell's theorem or by noncontextuality arguments. In this work, we prove a variety

Estimating Interaction Effects With Panel Data
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes how interaction effects can be consistently estimated under economically plausible assumptions in linear panel models with a fixed T$$ T $$‐dimension. We advocate for a correlated interaction term effects (CITE) estimator and show that it is consistent under conditions that are not sufficient for consistency of the ...

Against the 'No-Go' Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
In the area of the foundations of quantum mechanics a true industry appears to have developed in the last decades, with the aim of proving as many results as possible concerning what there cannot be in the quantum realm. In principle, the significance of

Relating Wigner's Friend Scenarios to Nonclassical Causal Compatibility, Monogamy Relations, and Fine Tuning [PDF]
Nonclassical causal modeling was developed in order to explain violations of Bell inequalities while adhering to relativistic causal structure and $faithfulness$---that is, avoiding fine-tuned causal explanations.

Exotic Plant Pathogen Reduces Habitat and Foraging Activities of a Digging Mammal
The invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi causes extensive damage to Australian ecosystems and likely degrades the habitats of many animals. This study investigated the impact of P. cinnamomi invasion on habitat and foraging of a bandicoot species.

Bell’s theorem and the issue of determinism and indeterminism [PDF]
The paper considers the claim that quantum theories with a deterministic dynamics of objects in ordinary space-time, such as Bohmian mechanics, contradict the assumption that the measurement settings can be freely chosen in the EPR experiment.

A didactic reconstruction of the original presentation of Bell’s Theorem : on the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen Paradox [PDF]
A desigualdade de Bell, foi uma das discussões que mais gerou controvérsias em torno dos fundamentos da Teoria Quântica, pois envolvia aspectos físico-matemáticos e, também, discussões filosóficas sobre a realidade.

A paradox in the quantum-mechanical treatment of destructive measurements on photons
Measurements on photons are frequently cited as confirmations of predictions of quantum mechanics (QMs), in particular in the context of Bell’s theorem. In this paper we show, however, that we cannot ever claim to have measured a property of a photon if ...
