It has been speculated that gravity could be an emergent phenomenon, with classical general relativity as an effective, macroscopic theory, valid only for classical systems at large temporal and spatial scales. As in classical continuum…
A common assumption in the spatial analysis of agricultural field trials is stationarity. In practice, however, this assumption is often violated due to unaccounted field effects. For instance, in plant breeding field trials, this can lead…
