Compression therapy in venous diseases: physical assumptions and clinical effects. [PDF]
Postepy Dermatol Alergol, 2020 Compression therapy (CT) is an established treatment method in chronic venous disease. Despite years of clinical experience, choosing the optimum compression therapy, including grade and pressure distribution, which determine the efficacy of treatment poses a challenge.

Special Theory of Relativity without special assumptions and tachyonic motion [PDF]
Condensed Matter Physics, 2010 The most general form of transformations of space-time coordinates in Special Theory of Relativity based solely on physical assumptions is described. Only the linearity of space-time transformations and the constancy of the speed of light are used as ...

The Effect of Physical Assumptions on the Calculation of Microwave Background Anisotropies [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1995 As the data on CMB anisotropies improve and potential cosmological applications are realized, it will be increasingly important for theoretical calculations to be as accurate as possible.

Semi-device-independent framework based on natural physical assumptions [PDF]
Quantum, 2017 The semi-device-independent approach provides a framework for prepare-and-measure quantum protocols using devices whose behavior must not be characterized nor trusted, except for a single assumption on the dimension of the Hilbert space characterizing ...

Physical Randomness Extractors: Generating Random Numbers with Minimal Assumptions [PDF]
, 2014 How to generate provably true randomness with minimal assumptions? This question is important not only for the efficiency and the security of information processing, but also for understanding how extremely unpredictable events are possible in Nature ...

Information capacity of quantum communication under natural physical assumptions [PDF]
QuantumThe quantum prepare-and-measure scenario has been studied under various physical assumptions on the emitted states. Here, we first discuss how different assumptions are conceptually and formally related.

A Pedagogical Reinforcement of the Ideal (Hard Sphere) Gas Using a Lattice Model: From Quantized Volume to Mechanical Equilibrium [PDF]
EntropyDue to their simplicity and ease of visualization, lattice models can be useful to illustrate basic concepts in thermodynamics. The recipe to obtain classical thermodynamic expressions from lattice models is usually based on invoking the thermodynamic ...

Reply to Andreotti: Consistent saltation height measurements and physical assumptions [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2008 In response to the comments of Andreotti (1), first, we do not maximize the flux; instead we calculate the saturated sand flux (2). Thus, no “criterion” is adopted, because the value of sand flux is a result of the calculations and not an assumption.

When Bad News Become Good News
Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, 2022 Hard physical learning problems have been introduced as an alternative option to implement cryptosystems based on hard learning problems. Their high-level idea is to use inexact computing to generate erroneous computations directly, rather than to first

Reverse Physics: From Laws to Physical Assumptions
Foundations of Physics, 2022 We introduce an approach to the foundations of physics that is more in line with the foundations of mathematics. The idea is to examine current theories and find a set of starting physical assumptions that are sufficient to rederive them, which is the physical equivalent of the reverse mathematics program.
