  1. 1. The Collapse of Decoherence : Can Decoherence Theory Solve The Problems of Measurement?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Karl Herlin; [2023]
    Keywords : quantum mechanics; quantum physics; philosophy of physics; interpretation of quantum mechanics; measurement problem; problem of preferred basis; problem of non-observability of interference; problem of definite outcomes; environment induced superselection rules; copenhagen interpretation; decoherence; irreducibility of classical concepts;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics and Low-Dimensional QFT

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Johanna Adbo; [2023]
    Keywords : QFT; path integrals; quantum mechanics; kvantfältteori; vägintegraler; kvantmekanik;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. Moving in the dark : Mathematics of complex pedestrian flows

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Meghashyam Veluvali; [2023]
    Keywords : Mathematical modelling of pedestrian dynamics; stochastic systems; evacuation time; random walk method; parabolic equation; finite difference method;

    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

  5. 4. Mathematical Modelling Of Cortisol Response To Exercise

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Arpitha Honnal Venkatesh; [2022]
    Keywords : Cortisol; Exercise; Mathematical model; CRH; ACTH; CORT; Cortisol model; HPA axis;

    Abstract : 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.

  6. 5. Advanced Footwear Technology, Are Ground Reaction Forces and Lower Extremity Loading Dependent on Shoe Energy Return Characteristics?

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Kalle Torniainen; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Running; Advanced FootwearTechnology; Running mechanics; Motion analysis; Biomekanik; Löpmekanik; Rörelseanalys;

    Abstract : In the long distance running community there is currently controversy as a result of the release of Advanced Footwear Technology (AFT) type of shoes. The AFT shoes with performance enhancing mechanical properties are currently used with great success. READ MORE
