An argument for psi-ontology in terms of protective measurements [PDF]
, 2014 The ontological model framework provides a rigorous approach to address the question of whether the quantum state is ontic or epistemic. When considering only conventional projective measurements, auxiliary assumptions are always needed to prove the ...

Clausius versus Sackur-Tetrode entropies [PDF]
, 2013 Based on the property of extensivity (mathematically, homogeneity of first degree), we derive in a mathematically consistent manner the explicit expressions of the chemical potential $\mu$ and the Clausius entropy $S$ for the case of monoatomic ideal ...

Advantages of studying history and philosophy of science for pre-service physics teachers
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract The purpose of this exploratory case study was to investigate the views of four undergraduate physics pre-teacher students about the nature of Science (NOS). The students completed an History and Philosophy (HPS) course during the first semester of 2017 at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Sul-rio-grandense (

String Theory and General Methodology; a Reciprocal Evaluation
, 2011 String theory has been the dominating research field in theoretical physics during the last decades. Despite the considerable time elapse, no new testable predictions have been derived by string theorists and it is understandable that doubts have been ...

Explaining Leibniz-equivalence as difference of non-inertial appearances: dis-solution of the Hole Argument and physical individuation of point-events [PDF]
, 2006 "The last remnant of physical objectivity of space-time" is disclosed in the case of a continuous family of spatially non-compact models of general relativity (GR). The {\it physical individuation} of point-events is furnished by the intrinsic degrees of
