Spacetime Quantization, Elementary Particles, and Cosmology
Relativistic quantum mechanics is generalized to account for a universally constant quantum of length a. Its value depends on the total convertible energy content of our universe: Eu = hc/2a. The eigenvalues of a...

Optical Excitation of Quadrupole Plasma Oscillations in Ellipsoidal Particles
The optical properties of thin granular films and colloids are usually described by means of the “dipole approximation”, assuming that the light acts on ellipsoidal particles of extremely small dimensions comp...

Spacetime quantization, generalized relativistic mechanics, and Mach's principle
The introduction of an “elementary length”a representing the ultimate limit for the smallest measurable distance leads to a generalization of Einstein's energy-momentum relation and of the usual Lorentz transform...

Kinetic properties of electrostatic pores with orientable dipoles, for Na+ and K+ transport through biological membranes
The model, used previously to account for the transport of K+ ions through squid axon membranes under steady-state conditions, is extended to the description of the kinetic behavior of Na+ and K+ currents, for su...

The role of proteins in a dipole model for steady-state ionic transport through biological membranes
The steady-state current-voltage characteristics of biological membranes are analyzed by means of an application of the electrodiffusion theory to the passage of ions through “dielectric pores”, with orientabl...

Surface dipoles, surface charges and negative steady-state resistance in biological membranes
A theoretical expression for the steady-state current-voltage characteristic of biological membranes is given, justifying various assumptions which are usually made in the framework of the electrodiffusion the...

Quantization of free fields defined on a space-time lattice
The ultimate limit for the smallest measurable distance should be considered as an unknown quantity, whose valuea could be finite as well as zero. This implies that the usual concept of a space-time continuum has...

A simple non-linear theory of color perception and contrast effects
Evidence is presented for a simple model of the visual system, assuming that information processing is performed by Fechner type responses at all levels of neural interconnections. Red-green, yellow-blue and whit...
