We conjecture on the structure of the quark vacuum from a viewpoint somewhat different from, but perhaps supplementary to, standard philosophies. Using a rather simple dynamical Hamiltonian model, vacuum excitations carrying helicities 0 and +/-1 are discussed in connection with the dynamical stability of solutions.

In seinem Anderen bei sich selbst zu sein: Toward a Recuperation of Hegel’s Metaphysics of Agency [PDF]
This essay argues for a distinctly post-Kantian understanding of Hegel’s definition of freedom as “being at home with oneself in one’s other.” I first briefly isolate the inadequacies of some dominant interpretations of Hegelian freedom and proceed to ...

Measuring specialty crop grower willingness to pay for genetic modification and genetic editing
Abstract In contrast to the widespread adoption of agricultural commodities modified using biotechnology, the adoption rate of bioengineered specialty crops by growers remains low. The use of bioengineered crops has been controversial since their introduction in the 1990s due to concerns about their potentially harmful effects to human health, the ...

Leibniz, Information, Math and Physics [PDF]
The information-theoretic point of view proposed by Leibniz in 1686 and developed by algorithmic information theory (AIT) suggests that mathematics and physics are not that different. This will be a first-person account of some doubts and speculations about the nature of mathematics that I have entertained for the past three decades, and which have now

The gauge-string duality and heavy ion collisions [PDF]
I review at a non-technical level the use of the gauge-string duality to study aspects of heavy ion collisions, with special emphasis on the trailing string calculation of heavy quark energy loss. I include some brief speculations on how variants of the trailing string construction could provide a toy model of black hole formation and evaporation. This

Abstract Straw returning is important for rural ecological management and sustainable agricultural development. Using farm survey data for Anhui Province, China, in 2020, we applied the double‐hurdle model to investigate the impact of agricultural machinery services and land fragmentation on farmers' straw‐returning behavior, and to explore the ...

Quentin Meillassoux´s philosophical project aims at challenging some of the most fundamental assumptions of contemporary philosophy. His polemic against “correlationism”, which he understands as the main paradigm of philosophy from Kant onwards, is ...
