A mikroreszecskek onazonossaga es a Gibbs-hipotezis
Gibbs meg a XIX. szazad vegen empirikus alapon mondta ki azt a
hipotezist, hogy a statisztikus termodinamikai szamitasokban kulonbozo
banasmodot igenyelnek a megkulonboztetheto es a megkulonboztethetetlen
reszecskek. Evtizedekkel kesobb a kvantumelmelet szimmetriaposztulatuma
ezt a kulonbseget meg jobban kielezte azzal, hogy ramutatott: A
megkulonboztethetetlen reszecskek rendszereben az egyedek nem orzik az
onazonossagukat. Ma altalaban ugy gondoljak, hogy Gibbs hipotezise a
kvantumelmeleti szimmetriaposztulatum kovetkezmenye. Megmutathato
azonban, hogy ez nem lehet igy, mert a fizikusi gyakorlatban implicite
rendszeresen hasznaljak a Gibbs-hipotezist olyan korulmenyek kozott is,
amikor a szimmetriaposztulatum nincs ervenyben.

The Rise of Physicalism
Some philosophers have suggested that the recent rise of physicalism
owesmore to fashion than to argument. In response this paper maintains
thatphysicalism is rationally compelling once the causal completeness of
physicsis accepted. This premise is a highly empirical claim, however,
and indeedone widely rejected by scientists until relatively recently.
Good evidencein favour of the causal completeness of physics has emerged
only over thelast century. This paper recounts the history of the causal
completenessclaim, and shows how accumulating evidence, rather than
fashion, has been responsible for the philosophical movement towards
physicalism.

Non-classical logics and computational complexity
Most of the modal propositional logical systems are decidable. This is
true e.g. about K4, S4, S5 and GL, where GL is the Provability Logic - a
modal logical system where necessity is interpreted as formal
provability in some fixed axiomatic theory like Peano arithmetic.
However, the complexity of the decision procedures for these systems is
not the same. The differences can be explicated using some notions from
computational complexity, like NP or PSPACE-completeness. I will discuss
these notions and differences, putting an emphasis on intuitionistic
logic and Provability Logic.

Dekoherencia es disszipacio a kvantumkomputer
egy lehetseges modelljeben
Az altalunk vizsgalt problema ketnivosnak tekintheto atomok viselkedese
az atmenettel rezonans mikrohullamu uregben. Az elmult nehany evben
szamos latvanyos kiserletet vegeztek abban az esetben, amikor az uregben
egyszerre csak egyetlen atom tartozkodik. Megfeleloen preparalt
atomokkal letrehoztak a mezo olyan allapotait, amelyek Schrodinger
macskajanak modelljekent tekinthetok, azaz ket makroszkopikusan
megkulonboztetheto mezo-kvantumallapot szuperpoziciojat valositottak
meg, majd ellenoriztek, hogy milyen gyorsan tunik el ezek kozott az
interferencia, attol fuggoen, hogy mennyire engedik az - egyebkent
lehetoseg szerint zart - rendszert kolcsonhatni a kornyezettel.
Egy ilyen kiserlet inverze lenne az, ahol a mezo ket klasszikus
allapotanak nemklasszikus szuperpozicioja helyett sok atom nemklasszikus
szuperpoziciojanak viselkedeset vizsgaljuk. Egy lehetseges
kvantumkomputerben ezek az atomok valositanak meg a qubiteket, es a
szupravezeto ureg, ha eleg jo, csak kevesse engedne oket kolcsonhatni a
kulvilaggal. Ezt a rendszert ugy kellene kontroll alatt tartani, hogy az
atomok egymashoz kepest is tartsak a fazisukat vagyis maradjanak
lehetoleg minel hosszabb ideig kvantumos szuperpozicioban. Sajnos
azonban minel tobb atom van, ez annal nehezebb. Megmutatjuk, hogy egy
ilyen kiserletnel a dekoherenciat es a disszipaciot ugyanazon modell
kereteben lehet leirni. Megmutatjuk tovabba, hogy az altalaban nagyon
gyors dekoherencia mellett megis leteznek olyan makroszkopikus
szuperpoziciok, amelyek viszonylag hosszan megtartjak a koherens
viselkedest.

For the motivation behind the eprints.org initiative, see:
"How and Why to Free the Refereed Research Literature Online
Through Author/Institution Self-Archiving, Now"
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/resolution.htm
This is to announce that, to coincide with today's Open Meeting in
Washington announcing the release of OAI 1.0:
http://www.openarchives.org/DC2001/OpenMeeting.html
we at Southampton have simultaneously released the OAI 1.0-compliant
version of the eprints.org archive-creating software Eprints Version
1.1.1
http://www.eprints.org/
The eprints software is free, of course. Originally created by Matt
Hemus as CogPrints <http://cogprints.soton.ac.uk>, and then extensively
re-designed for OA-compliance and generality by Robert Tansley, and
recently upgraded to OAI 1.0 by Chris Gutteridge (all at Southampton
University), the software has been made as flexible and adaptable as
possible, so that all universities and research institutions can
immediately adopt and configure it with minimal effort for all
disciplines. Hence it complements centralised, discipline-based
archiving with distributed, institution-based archiving.
The generic version of eprints is fully interoperable with all other
OAI-compliant Open Archives. This means that it no longer matters where
papers are archived: The papers in all OAI-compliant Archives can be
harvested using the OAI protocol
<http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.htm>
into one global "virtual archive" by Open Archives Service Providers
<http://www.openarchives.org/sfc/sfc_services.htm>
such as the Cross Archive Searching Service
<http://arc.cs.odu.edu/>
Below are
(1) a testimonial from California Digital Libraries, one of the
early adopters of the eprints.org software
<http://eprints.cdlib.org/>,
(2) the most recent features of eprints 1.1.1
(3) some relevant chronology and URLs.
Note that all existing Eprints Archives can be upgraded to OAI
1.0-compliance with the new release. The eprints.org archive-creating
software is free, draws only on free software, and will shortly be
open-sourced.

EPRINTS 1.1
New features should be regarded as stable; they have been well
tested but they have not yet been extensively tested "in the
field".
Key Upgrades include:
OAI 1.0 compliance
support for MySQL not running on localhost
support for multiple instances of eprints running on
one mod_perl/apache server (1.0 claimed to do this
but had some problems)
new datafield "username" representing users to associate
the item with.
Bugfixes:
mod_perl namespace collisions with multiple eprints (mentioned
above).
removed GNU-only command options from installation scripts.
Please remember to use the online bug tracking system for reporting
problems: http://bugs.eprints.org
Note the new logo (symbolic of piecing together the global Eprint Archive
out of the individual OAI-compliant ones)

Subject: ePrints and eScholarship
Stevan,
Though we haven't met, I wanted to write you personally to thank you for
making ePrints available. Your software is a major contribution to our
mutual effort to transform the scholarly communication cycle. I am the CDL
director responsible for the eScholarship program, where we are making good
use of ePrints. Our repositories provide the foundation of the eScholarship
infrastructure.
We are providing the first three repositories to scholars in International
and Area Studies, Dermatology, and Tobacco Control Research beginning
tomorrow, Jan 19, 2001. We expect we will have some interesting findings
as they begin to actively test and use these prototype repositories. We
have some models for how the repositories will logically fit together with
the kind of wider sphere of surrounding scholarly products we envision
(e.g., DOJ as overlay journal), but there are many particular issues still
to be resolved which may have implications for how the software is
developed. We will try to report as much as we can what we learn in our
experiment with ePrints.
So, on behalf of the eScholarship team and the open archive community, I
thank you for this wonderful piece of code. You will be receiving a more
formal letter tomorrow, addressed to all eScholarship partners and
contributors, which will detail more of the CDL and eScholarship
activities. ePrints will be prominently featured in the letter.
Best regards,

Kogtarsak,
Bizonyara tobben eszrevettek, hogy szeptember ota uj szerveren es uj
szoftverrel fut a KOGLIST. Nehany evvel ezelott az elozo rendszeren mar
voltak problemak azzal, hogy a reply-to fejlecben a koglist cime szerepelt,
igy nehanyan a listara kuldtek magantermeszetu valaszaikat. Akkor ezt a
funkciot megszuntettuk, de az uj rendszerben megint ez volt a default. Most
ismet toroltem a reply-to sort a fejlecbol, hogy csak azok a valaszok
menjenek a listara, amelyeket szerzoik valoban oda is szannak. Az erre a
levelre kuldott valaszok default-kent hozzam lesznek cimezve, de a korabbi
lista-uznetek fejleceben meg ott van a "reply-to: koglist", vagyis nem art
az ovatossag.
