This is a detailed study of Niels Bohr's work on an epistemological foundation for 20th century physics. The connections he drew between physics, language, and philosophy, are traced historically and their validity is analyzed in the light of contemporary science. (Philosophy)
This handbook explains the theory of local nonequilibrium thermodynamics that is constructed from microscopic particle statistical mechanics. Each thermodynamic quantity is based on a particle analog.

This paper presents a critical survey of the labour/leisure choice frame-work and its usefulness in analyzing behavioural response to tax and social policy legislation. Micro simulation, once it moves beyond simplistic incidence analysis, must consider the behavioural response of individuals to changes which legislation induces in the constraints which individuals face. Due to its analytical simplicity, the labour/leisure framework offers a useful "first step" in modeling such behavioural response. The paper surveys the existing literature on labour supply elasticities and suggests some working assumptions. It concludes, however, on a note of caution - namely that the single period labour/leisure choice model may be a very poor guide to the behaviour of the "working poor" when confronted with changes tax and social policy legislation -- more elaborate models of lifecycle behaviour are clearly required.
