Testing Ecological Theory with Lianas [PDF]

, 2018
Lianas constitute a diverse polyphyletic plant group that is advancing our understanding of ecological theory. Specifically, lianas are providing new insights into the mechanisms that control plant distribution and diversity maintenance.

Testing the Paradigm of Nuclear Many-Body Theory

Particles, 2023
Nuclear many-body theory is based on the tenet that nuclear systems can be accurately described as collections of point-like particles. This picture, while providing a remarkably accurate explanation of a wealth of measured properties of atomic nuclei ...

Testing Quantum Theory by Generalizing Noncontextuality

Physical Review X, 2023
It is a fundamental prediction of quantum theory that states of physical systems are described by complex vectors or density operators on a Hilbert space.

Testing nucleation theory in two dimensions [PDF]

, 1999
We calculate bubble-nucleation rates for (2+1)-dimensional scalar theories at high temperature. Our approach is based on the notion of a real coarse-grained potential.

Judging competing theoretical accounts by their empirical content and parsimony: Reply to Myrseth and Wollbrant (2015)

Judgment and Decision Making, 2015
Myrseth and Wollbrant (2015) offer an alternative theoretical explanation for our finding that defection entails more cognitive conflict than cooperation (Kieslich & Hilbig, 2014).

Testing Theories of Happiness [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
AbstractLatter-day researches based on reported subjective well-being have improved the understanding of utility. The concept of utility has acquired a psychological content, and has proved to be operational in researches on income, unemployment, inflation, inequality, and democratic institutions in their relations with happiness. The authors plead for

Testing the heating method with perturbation theory [PDF]

, 1995
The renormalization constants present in the lattice evaluation of the topological susceptibility can be non-perturbatively calculated by using the so-called heating method.

Laser excited super resolution thermal imaging for nondestructive inspection of internal defects

Scientific Reports, 2020
A photothermal super resolution technique is proposed for an improved inspection of internal defects. To evaluate the potential of the laser-based thermographic technique, an additively manufactured stainless steel specimen with closely spaced internal ...

Axiomatic Testing of Structure Metrics [PDF]

, 1994
Axiomatic testing of software metrics is described, based on axioms from representational measurement theory. In a case study, the axioms are given for the formal relational structure and the empirical relational structure.
