A Flea on Schrödinger’s Cat [PDF]

Foundations of Physics, 2013
We propose a technical reformulation of the measurement problem of quantum mechanics, which is based on the postulate that the final state of a measurement is classical; this accords with experimental practice as well as with Bohr's views. Unlike the usual formulation (in which the post-measurement state is a a unit vector in Hilbert space, such as ...

A reverse vaccinology approach to the identification and characterization of Ctenocephalides felis candidate protective antigens for the control of cat flea infestations

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Despite the abundance of the domestic cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché, 1835) and disease risks associated with them, flea control is difficult and requires the development of new control interventions such as vaccines. In this study, a

Relationships between functional alpha and beta diversities of flea parasites and their small mammalian hosts

Parasitology
We studied the relationships between functional alpha and beta diversities of fleas and their small mammalian hosts in 4 biogeographic realms (the Afrotropics, the Nearctic, the Neotropics and the Palearctic), considering 3 components of alpha diversity (

Investigating the Customer Journey in Second‐Hand Fashion Platforms: Implications for Luxury Brand Management

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 655-672, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Consumers' increasing environmental concerns are prompting a shift in fashion consumption, fueling the remarkable growth of the second‐hand market. Over the last decade, this trend has spurred the emergence of a plethora of online platforms dedicated to the resale of pre‐loved fashion items.

Little Fleas and Lesser Fleas

Microbiology, 1985
Summary: Ruder heads stand amazed at these prodigeous pieces of nature, whales, elephants, dromedaries, and camels; these, I confess, are the colossus and majestick pieces of her hand; but in these narrow engines there is more curious mathematicks; and the civility of these little citizens more easily sets forth the wisdom of their Maker.

Genome Mining Reveals a Novel Nephthenol‐Producing Diterpene Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity

Australia's lice treatment device regulation

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Before 2002, products for head lice were entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as Registered or Listed Medicines, depending on the active ingredients. Since 2002, the Australian definition of a medical device has been consistent with that of the European Union, allowing many lice treatments and prevention ...
