What Can Consciousness Anomalies Tell Us About Quantum Mechanics? [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, I explore the link between consciousness and quantum mechanics. Often explanations that invoke consciousness to help explain some of the most perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics are not given serious ...

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Research based on embodied cognition has demonstrated that physical posture, particularly an upright seated posture, can influence emotions and cognition. However, although students spend most of the day sitting in classrooms, intervention research on upright seated postures suitable for learning environments is limited.

URBAN MICRO CLIMATE MODELLING USING DIFFERENT URBAN PHYISCS SCHEMES AND HIGH RESOLUTION LULC WITH WRF MODEL [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Urban areas are treated as a single entity by mesoscale urban canopy models (UCM) for assessing the influence of urban morphology on climate. Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) coupled with UCM along with urban physics options to describe the ...

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

Demand Shocks, Export Diversification, and Firm Performance During the Great Trade Collapse
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the impact of external demand shocks from the 2008 to 2009 Great Trade Collapse on the performance of Chinese exporters and examines how export diversification mitigates these effects. Using Chinese Customs data merged with financial data from all listed Chinese firms, we construct firm‐specific demand shocks based on pre ...
