On the exclusion of the excluded middle law and quantum mechanics

We argue that limitations arise when using non-constructive mathematics (NCM) as a foundation for quantum mechanics, since the Boolean logical substrate of NCM fits a distributive propositional structure, but fits less naturally into the non-distributive lattice of quantum propos...

Drone-measured canopy spectra can be a complementary predictor of belowground arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi variations in urban community gardens

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form essential symbioses with plant roots, improving nutrient uptake, plant health, and soil function. However, assessing AMF abundance in urban ecosystems remains challenging. Drone-based multispectral imaging can estimate canopy functional tra...
