Nonperturbative Physics at Short Distances [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement, 2007
There is accumulating evidence in lattice QCD that attempts to locate confining fields in vacuum configurations bring results explicitly depending on tha lattice spacing (that is, ultraviolet cut off). Generically, one deals with low-dimensional vacuum defects which occupy a vanishing fraction of the total four-dimensional space.

Physical distancing and the perception of interpersonal distance in the COVID-19 crisis [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been mandated to keep enlarged distances from others. We interviewed 136 German subjects over five weeks from the end of March to the end of April 2020 during the first wave of infections about their preferred interpersonal distance (IPD) before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
