Derivation In A Nonequilibrium Ensemble Formalism Of A Far-reaching Generalization Of A Quantum Boltzmann Theory [PDF]
, 2015 Within the framework of the nonequilibrium statistical ensemble formalism provided by the nonequilibrium statistical operator method, we derive a quantum Boltzmann-style transport theory of a broad scope.

Probability in physics: stochastic, statistical, quantum [PDF]
, 2013 I review the role of probability in contemporary physics and the origin of probabilistic time asymmetry, beginning with the pre-quantum case (both stochastic mechanics and classical statistical mechanics) but concentrating on quantum theory. I argue that

Full-field strain measurement and identification of composites moduli at high strain rate with the virtual fields method [PDF]
, 2010 The present paper deals with full-field strain measurement on glass/epoxy composite tensile specimens submitted to high strain rate loading through a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device and with the identification of their mechanical properties ...

cond-mat/9806359 STATISTICAL MECHANICS OF VOTING [PDF]
, 1998 Decision procedures aggregating the preferences of multiple agents can produce cycles and hence outcomes which have been described heuristically as `chaotic'.

Inferential vs. Dynamical Conceptions of Physics [PDF]
, 2013 I contrast two possible attitudes towards a given branch of physics: as inferential (i.e., as concerned with an agent's ability to make predictions given finite information), and as dynamical (i.e., as concerned with the dynamical equations governing ...

Geometrical aspects of a generalized statistical mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 We discuss here the use of generalized forms of entropy, taken as information measures, to characterize phase transitions and critical behavior in thermodynamic systems. Our study is based on geometric considerations pertaining to the space of parameters

Statistical properties of microbial phenotypes and colony growth [PDF]
, 2012 Cells are the fundamental units of which all life forms are composed. To understand the elementary organization of life, it is therefore meaningful to start the investigation on the single cell level.Modern microscopy permits the examination of both ...

Mechanics of inhomogeneous turbulence and interfacial layers [PDF]
, 2006 The mechanics of inhomogeneous turbulence in and adjacent to interfacial layers bounding turbulent and non-turbulent regions are analysed. Different mechanisms are identified according to the straining by the turbulent eddies in relation to the strength ...

Statistical Mechanics and Capacity-Approaching Error-Correcting Codes [PDF]
, 2001 I will show that there is a deep relation between error-correction codes and certain mathematical models of spin glasses. In particular minimum error probability decoding is equivalent to finding the ground state of the corresponding spin system.

A Nonlinear Quantum Transport Theory [PDF]
, 2015 A nonlinear quantum transport theory for many-body systems arbitrarily far away from equilibrium, based on the nonequilibrium statistical operator method, is discussed.
