Some behavioral aspects of energy descent: How a biophysical psychology might help people transition through the lean times ahead
We may soon face biophysical limits to perpetual growth.Energy supplies may tighten and then begin a long slow descent while defensive expenditures rise to address problems caused by past resource consumption.The outcome may be significant changes in daily routines at the individual and community level.It is difficult to know when this scenario mig
Laser Cooling beyond Rate Equations: Approaches from Quantum Thermodynamics
Solids can be cooled by driving impurity ions with lasers, allowing them to transfer heat from the lattice phonons to the electromagnetic surroundings.This exemplifies a quantum thermal machine, which uses a quantum system as a working medium to transfer heat between reservoirs.We review Quercetin the derivation of the Bloch-Redfield equation for a
Paranormal Belief, Thinking Style and Delusion Formation: A Latent Profile Analysis of Within-Individual Variations in Experience-Based Paranormal Facets
