Scattering a quantum particle on the potential step: Characteristic times for transmission and reflection [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We present a new model of scattering a quantum particle on the potential step, which reconstructs the prehistory of the subensembles of transmitted and reflected particles by their final states. Unlike the conventional one this model predicts the existence of a transitional spatial region behind the potential step where the probability to find ...

Large fluctuations and irreversibility in nonequilibrium systems. [PDF]
, 1999 Large rare fluctuations in a nonequilibrium system are investigated theoretically and by analogue electronic experiment. It is emphasized that the optimal paths calculated via the eikonal approximation of the Fokker-Planck equation can be identified with

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.Pessimistic empirical evidence about the reformatory and deterrent effects of punitive treatment poses a challenge for all justificatory theories of punishment. Yet, the dominant progressive view remains that punishment is required for the most serious crimes.

A quick guide to ordinary state-dependent delay differential equations [PDF]
arXivWe review $H^{1}$-well-posedness for initial value problems of ordinary differential equations with state-dependent right-hand side. We streamline known approaches to infer existence and uniqueness of solutions for small times given a Lipschitz-continuous prehistory.

Geologic Life: Prehistory, Climate, Futures in the Anthropocene
, 2013 The diagnostic of the Anthropocene proposes a new geological epoch that designates humans as beings capable of geomorphic force, shaping Earth systems on a par with inhuman forces.

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Northwest Arabia is marked by tens of thousands of monumental burial structures, most of which appear to have been built during the Bronze Age. These funerary features range from simple cairns and tower tombs through to large ‘pendant’ burials with elaborate tail constructions.
