A New Kind of Science
, 2002
"... “Somebody says, ‘You know, you people always say that space is continuous. How do you know when you get to a small enough dimension that there really are enough points in between, that it isn’t just a lot of dots separated by little distances? ’ Or they say, ‘You know those quantum mechanical amplit ..."

“Somebody says, ‘You know, you people always say that space is continuous. How do you know when you get to a small enough dimension that there really are enough points in between, that it isn’t just a lot of dots separated by little distances? ’ Or they say, ‘You know those quantum mechanical amplitudes you told me about, they’re so complicated and absurd, what makes you think those are right? Maybe they aren’t right. ’ Such remarks are obvious and are perfectly clear to anybody who is working on this problem. It does not do any good to point this out.” —Richard Feynman [1, p.161]
New Kinds of Acoustic Solitons
, 706
"... Abstract. We find that the modified sine–Gordon equation belonging to the class of the soliton equations describes the propagation of extremely short transverse acoustic pulses through the low-temperature crystal containing paramagnetic impurities with effective spin S = 1 2 in the Voigt geometry ca ..."

case. The features of nonlinear dynamics of strain field and effective spins, which correspond to the different kinds of acoustic solitons, are studied. PACS numbers: 05.45.Yv, 43.35.+d, 02.30.Ik The development of physical acoustics has led to the appearance of technical tools of producing
ON A NEW KIND OF NUMBERS
, 1988
"... Recently, properties of the sequence {L2n+\}, where L2n+i is a Lucas number of order 2n + 1, were studied [1]. In the present paper, we introduce a new class of numbers defined by (i.D /(*, k) = (- l r- ^. Y) ^ !, ..."

New Kinds of Entropy
, 2003
"... Two new entropies are offered in this paper. Neither belongs to the traditional conservative statistical mechanics. The first recognizes that the discovery that there are states of granular or glassy systems which can be restricted by an appropriate experimental pathway implies that an entropy can b ..."

A New Kind of Finance
"... Finance has benefited from the Wolfram’s NKS approach but it can and will benefit even more in the future, and the gains from the influence may actually be concentrated among practitioners who unintentionally employ those principles as a group. ..."

New Kinds of Learning Objects

This article describes two aspects of thinking about learning objects, their desired “standalone ” nature and certain best-practice recommendations regarding their production. The article disputes that a learning object can ever truly be “standalone ” and argues that the best way to get them produced is by the lone academic herself rather than the traditional managed production teams. To support this it cites the example of open-source software production and online collaborative enterprises such as Wikipedia which achieve their aims without any traditional management layer, but rather function on a volunteer basis. The author concludes with a case study where he attempted to put these methods into practice in producing materials for a Master’s multimedia course.
Indicates a New Kind of Magnetometer
"... Abstract: Cryptochrome, a blue-light photoreceptor which has high sequence homology to DNA photolyase, is supposed to be the most conceivable magnetoreceptor in avian’s magnetoreception. Its light-response mechanism is proposed to result from photoreduction of a protein-bound flavin chromophore thro ..."

New evidence and perspectives on mergers
- Journal of Economic Perspectives
, 2001
"... As in previous decades, merger activity clusters by industry during the 1990s. One particular kind of industry shock, deregulation, becomes a dominant factor, accounting for nearly half of the merger activity since the late 1980s. In contrast to the 1980s, mergers in the 1990s are mostly stock swaps ..."
