Conventional noise analysis in atomic-ensemble sensing assumes a continuous-medium approximation, thereby treating the atomic system as a deterministic dielectric. Here, we demonstrate that this assumption breaks down due to the discrete, particulate nature of the ensemble, giving rise to an intrins…
We study the equation of state, polarization and radiation properties for nonideal, strongly magnetized plasmas which compose outer envelopes of magnetic neutron stars. Detailed calculations are performed for partially ionized hydrogen atmospheres and for condensed hydrogen or iron surfaces of these…
In this paper, we propose to combine two promising research topics in accelerator physics, i.e., optical stochastic cooling (OSC) and steady-state microbunching (SSMB). The motivation is to provide a powerful radiation source which could benefit fundamental science research and industry applications…
In arXiv:1812.02482 Socas-Navarro (SN) provided multiple confirmation of the claimed 88 days melanoma periodicity. This greatly strengthens the observation by Zioutas and Valachovic (ZV). Here we comment on the work by SN, because it objects the interpretation of the observation by ZV. Notice that S…
Wound infections are a significant clinical and socioeconomic challenge, contributing to delayed healing and increased wound chronicity. To enable early infection detection and inform therapeutic decisions, this study investigated the design of pH-responsive collagen fibres using a scalable wet spin…
In arXiv:1812.02482 Socas-Navarro (SN) provided multiple confirmation of the claimed ~88 days melanoma periodicity [4] (which remarkably coincides with the orbital period of Mercury). This greatly strengthens the observation by Zioutas & Valachovic (ZV). Here we comment on the work by SN, because it…
The radiation-reaction problem of standard Lorentz electrodynamics with point charges is pathological, standing in contrast to Bopp--Landé--Thomas--Podolsky (BLTP) electrodynamics where it is in fact well-defined and calculable, as reported in a previous publication. To demonstrate the viability of…
Radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics is traditionally described by the Lorentz Abraham Dirac equation (LAD), whose point particle formulation leads to well known difficulties including runaway solutions, pre acceleration, and the ambiguous status of the Schott term. We analyze radiation r…
This paper constitutes a background to the paper 'Quantum mechanics as "space-time statistical mechanics"?', arXiv:quant-ph/0501133, presented previously by the author. But it is also a free-standing and self-contained paper. The purpose of this paper is to give the reader an increased and a deeper …
The phrase "negative squared rest mass" can sometimes be found in papers on neutrinos and frequently occurs in the tachyonic literature. Consequently, some authors say that "the rest mass of tachyons is imaginary". Besides, the statement "photons have zero rest mass" is almost common. In terms of re…
