1. The Collapse of Decoherence : Can Decoherence Theory Solve The Problems of Measurement?
University essay from Uppsala universitet/MaterialteoriAbstract : In this review study, we ask ourselves if decoherence theory can solve the problems of measurement in quantum mechanics. After an introduction to decoherence theory, we present the problem of preferred basis, the problem of non-observability of interference and the problem of definite outcomes. READ MORE

2. Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics and Low-Dimensional QFT
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : The focus of this thesis is to introduce the path integral and some of its applications. One interpretation of quantum mechanics is that a microscopic system which moves from an initial- to a final state moves through each possible intermediate state. READ MORE

3. Moving in the dark : Mathematics of complex pedestrian flows
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)Abstract : The field of mathematical modelling for pedestrian dynamics has attracted significant scientific attention, with various models proposed from perspectives such as kinetic theory, statistical mechanics, game theory and partial differential equations. Often such investigations are seen as being a part of a new branch of study in the domain of applied physics, called sociophysics. READ MORE

4. Mathematical Modelling Of Cortisol Response To Exercise
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknikAbstract : Exercise is widely recognized for its role in the health management and prevention of several chronic diseases. Exercise is considered as a stimulus in the form of physical stress to which a group of anatomical structures in the human body responds by generating a stress response that enables certain physiological modifications essential for restoring systemic homeostasis.
