Interference, reduced action, and trajectories

Instead of investigating the interference between two stationary, rectilinear wave functions in a trajectory representation by examining the two rectilinear wave functions individually, we examine a dichromatic wave function that is synthesized from the two interfering wave functions. The physics of interference is contained in the reduced action for the dichromatic wave function. As this reduced action is a generator of the motion for the dichromatic wave function, it determines the dichromatic wave function's trajectory. The quantum effective mass renders insight into the behavior of the trajectory. The trajectory in turn renders insight into quantum nonlocality.Comment: 12 pages text, 5 figures. Typos corrected.

The high energy limit of the trajectory representation of quantum mechanics

The trajectory representation in the high energy limit (Bohr correspondence principle) manifests a residual indeterminacy. This indeterminacy is compared to the indeterminacy found in the classical limit (Planck's constant to 0) [Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 15, 1363 (2000)] for particles in the classically allowed region, the classically forbiden region, and near the WKB turning point. The differences between Bohr's and Planck's principles for the trajectory representation are compared with the differences between these correspondence principles for the wave representation. The trajectory representation in the high energy limit is shown to go to neither classical nor statistical mechanics. The residual indeterminacy is contrasted to Heisenberg uncertainty. The relationship between indeterminacy and 't Hooft's information loss and equivalence classes is investigated.Comment: 12 pages of LaTeX. No figures.

Welcher Weg? A trajectory representation of a quantum Young's diffraction experiment

The double slit problem is idealized by simplifying each slit by a point source. A composite reduced action for the two correlated point sources is developed. Contours of the reduced action, trajectories and loci of transit times are developed in the region near the two point sources. The trajectory through any point in Euclidian 3-space also passes simultaneously through both point sources.Comment: 12 pages LaTeX2e, 9 figures. Typos corrected. Author's final submission.

An Evaluation of the Effect of Discharging a High Quality Effluent into a Small Ozark Mountain Stream

Recently the newly constructed Fayetteville wastewater treatment plant went on line and directed a portion of its discharge to a point in the Mud Creek drainage basin that had previously not received any effluent. Prior to the discharge, a background study had been performed to establish the water quality in the basin. The background data, when compared to the data collected by this study, allowed any alteration of the stream water quality to be evaluated. Also the modeling procedure used to set the effluent limits for the treatment plant was analyzed. All stream data were compared to the limits set forth for surface water quality by the Department of Pollution Control and Ecology. The new discharge had some effect on the receiving stream, however, the stream still meets Arkansas water quality standards for all parameters

Contribution Among Antitrust Violators: A Question of Legal Process

El objetivo fue determinar el nivel de satisfacción percibida por los usuarios atendidos en los servicios de consulta externa del hospital “Lucio Aldazabal Pauca” de Huancané en el período agosto a diciembre 2017. El tipo de investigación fue descriptivo, de diseño no experimental, la muestra utilizada fue el muestreo probabilístico, de 120 usuarios que acuden a los consultorios externos del hospital, para el recojo de la información se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta y el instrumento fue el SERVPERF, este cuestionario contiene 22 preguntas dividido en 5 dimensiones fiabilidad (5 ítems), capacidad de respuesta (4 ítems), seguridad (4 ítems), empatía (5 ítems), finalmente aspecto tangibles (4 ítems). Se obtuvo como resultados que el 33.48% de usuarios estuvieron satisfechos con la atención percibida, un 47.66% insatisfechos, en fiabilidad el 47.48% conformes, un 34.7% inconforme, en capacidad de respuesta el 32.25% satisfechos, y un 46.93% insatisfechos, en seguridad el 38.55% satisfechos y 37.5% insatisfechos, respecto a la empatía el 31% satisfechos, y un 48.5% se encuentran insatisfechos con la atención del personal de salud, finalmente en aspectos tangibles el 18.11% están satisfechos con los equipos y el ambiente donde fueron atendidos, y el 70.65% insatisfechos. Se concluye que el nivel de los usuarios fue insatisfecho de manera general y en capacidad de respuesta, empatía, aspectos tangibles, y con nivel satisfecho en fiabilidad, seguridad
