We develop a semi-parametric state-space model for time-series data with latent regime transitions. Classical Markov-switching models use fixed parametric transition functions, such as logistic or probit links, which restrict flexibility…

The structure of exotic nuclei provides valuable tests for state-of-the-art nuclear theory. In particular electromagnetic transition rates are more sensitive to aspects of nuclear forces and many-body physics than excitation energies alone.…
In a quantum measurement, a coupling $g$ between the system S and the apparatus A triggers the establishment of correlations, which provide statistical information about S. Robust registration requires A to be macroscopic, and a dynamical…

We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We discuss the possibility for such transitions…
We explore the scaling description for a two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (MIT) of electrons in silicon. Near the MIT, $\beta_{T}/p = (-1/p)d(\ln g)/d(\ln T)$ is universal (with $p$, a sample dependent exponent, determined…

The half-life of \tsups{37}K has been measured to be $1.23651(94)~\mathrm{s}$, a value nearly an order of magnitude more precise than the best previously reported. The $\beta^+$ decay of \tsups{37}K occurs mainly via a superallowed branch…
