Lessons from Toy-Models for the Dynamics of Loop Quantum Gravity

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012
We review some approaches to the Hamiltonian dynamics of (loop) quantum gravity, the main issues being the regularization of the Hamiltonian and the continuum limit.

Powers That Be: An Adventure in Metaphysics

open access: yesPhilosophical Investigations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum

Tudor England and Stewart Scotland Through Spanish Eyes: A Complete Transcription and Translation of Pedro de Ayala's Letter of 1498 to King Ferdinand of Castile and Queen Isabella of Aragon

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Pedro de Ayala served as a diplomat for King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile at the courts of Henry VII, King of England, and James IV, King of Scots. In July 1498, he wrote a letter, partly in cipher, to report to his king and queen on such matters as Spain's interests in international diplomacy; the characters and ...

Effects of underlying topology on quantum state discrimination

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In this work, we show that quantum state discrimination can be modified due to a change in the underlying topology of a system. In particular, we explicitly demonstrate that the quantum state discrimination of systems with underlying discrete topology ...

Noncommutative scalar fields: Quantum symmetries and braided BV quantization [PDF]

open access: yesKragujevac Journal of Science
It is strongly believed that the fully consistent quantum gravity theory should lead to a quantum spacetime. The continuous description of spacetime in terms of differential manifolds is no longer adequate at the quantum gravity energies.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

A quantum reduction to spherical symmetry in loop quantum gravity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
Based on a recent purely geometric construction of observables for the spatial diffeomorphism constraint, we propose two distinct quantum reductions to spherical symmetry within full 3+1-dimensional loop quantum gravity.

Explainable Machine Learning With Hybrid Feature Selection for Thyroid Disease Classification: A Case Study in Bangladesh

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our research establishes a hybrid feature selection and ensemble machine learning pipeline for the classification of euthyroid, hyperthyroid, hypothyroid, and subclinical hypo‐ and hyperthyroid disorders. Variance Threshold with Backward Feature Elimination attained nearly 100% accuracy, while SHAP and LIME clarified the significance of features and ...
