We study four expressions involving the integrals of Jacobi’s theta functions. From Poisson’s summation formula, we write the integrals of the functions θi, (i = 1,2,3,4) in terms of modified Bessel functions of the second kind. For the integrals of θ1 , θ2 and θ3, we get expressions with real arguments, but for the integral of θ4 , we find an expression with imaginary argument. In addition, we apply our results to the description of two kinds of interacting quantum systems: boson gas and fermion gas both under a thermal bath and an external magnetic field. PACS numbers:
我们研究了涉及雅可比函数积分的四种表达式。从泊松求和公式出发，用第二类修正贝塞尔函数表示函数θi， (i = 1,2,3,4)的积分。对于θ1， θ2和θ3的积分，我们得到了实参数的表达式，但是对于θ4的积分，我们找到了虚参数的表达式。此外，我们将我们的结果应用于两种相互作用量子系统的描述:在热浴和外磁场下的玻色子气体和费米子气体。pac数字:

Ether Model
I am a retired physician who has developed a theoretic model alternative to the present standard physics model. It is based on two main propositions: (1) that the universe originated according to a creational design, by an Entity(ies) billions of years ago (rather than being the result of random chance processes) and (2) that the quantum/atomic forces we are familiar with operate in conjunction with, and are secondary to, etheric forces we still have yet to detect.

Recent images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of objects thought to be near the origin of the cosmos show complete, full-sized, massive, brilliant galaxies. However, standard astronomy, based on gravitational interactions, had suggested that full galaxies would take about one to two billion years to form. While some of these JWST data need verification or are disputed, there is the perception that we may be facing a crisis in cosmology. While some are doing their best to save the standard approach, others have suggested that a new approach to galaxy formation and cosmology may be needed. If this suggestion is followed through, it is possible that plasma physics applied to astronomy might, potentially, have some answers. That possibility is briefly explored here.

In 1900, Planck presented an equation that became fundamental to quantum physics and paved the way for interpreting the nature of radiation. However, in a 1911 article where he attempted to theoretically justify this equation, some errors might have been introduced. In this paper, Planck proposed that the central concept in quantum physics is the quantum of action, which diminished the significance of the energy quantum. Many researchers argue that this approach was flawed, as it contradicted the foundational ideas he introduced in 1900, termed the “quantum hypothesis.”

One key topic in astronomy is the redshift of light from distant galaxies. Currently there are two main models for what is observed, but discrepant data reveal that neither approach gives an adequate answer to the matter. In 1985 a suggestion was made that the answer to this problem may be found in the light emitted from the atoms within the galaxies themselves, rather than something happening to light in transit. That suggestion is examined with a more complete understanding of the vacuum Zero Point Energy (ZPE) that has emerged recently, since, on one view, it controls the electromagnetic properties of space. A review is undertaken of both the redshift and its problems and also the way our understanding of the ZPE has developed. The facts emerging from these reviews are then applied to suggest a different cause for the redshift, and a concordant reason for redshift quantization.

Why is there an under-representation of women in physics? What can teachers encourage women to learn about physics? We want to analyze the motivations behind studying physics at pre-university educational levels. 69 high school students who learned with a Brain-Based Teaching Approach (BBTA) methodology (Socratic-Maieutic style) were compared to a sample of the same N who had learned in a masterclass style. The BBTA group learned through four main steps: establishment of affective bonds between the student and the subject, argumentative class as a tool to judge (maieutic style), contextualization, and experimentation. Both groups were analyzed using the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS). The t-test and U Mann-Whitney analysis suggest that amotivation (lack of motivation) is the same in both groups, but extrinsic motivations (related to external rewards) are higher in the classic style group, while intrinsic motivations (related to internal rewards) are higher in the Socratic style, especially for women (p < 0.032). Learning physics reinforces intrinsic motivation if we consider the way the brain works.

Applying the laws of dynamics to discern future motion is not an easy thing to do, for there are cases where these laws fail to predict what’s really measured. Inertial frames are thought to provide a stable platform of reference frames from which to solve this failure of dynamics, but current fundamental definitions related to dynamics are often incomplete, in conflict or just illogical. Adopting a credible definition of inertial frames and applying it to frames of reference in constant relative motion leads to a surprising discovery, challenging the scientific wisdom of the last five centuries and raising far-ranging and deep questions that spill over into modern worldviews and religion. As usual the epistemology is based on the scientific method’s dependence on testing and the rationality of philo-realism.
