Investigations into bodily motion and space through centripetal force
… explored the limits and effects of the centripetal force resulting for the orbital motion of the object on the central body. This system serves both to extend the rotation of the body further out into space and to amplify the wobble of the spinning body.

A centripetal formula for Turkey : a multiculturalist proposal for the resolution of the republic’s long-running Kurdish question
Like consociationalism and territorial pluralism, centripetalism is a multiculturalist way of managing ethno-cultural diversity. Many scholars have examined how a consociational or territorial pluralist formula might help Turkey to resolve its long-running Kurdish problem. To date, no one has paid …

Centripetal Bias in the Federal Fiscal Relations in India, Growing Regional Disparity and Feeling of Discrimination : A Case Study of West Bengal
Die Republik Indien ist ein Bundesstaat, doch ihr Föderalismus hat einen stark unitarischen Charakter. Dies kommt auch in den finanziellen Beziehungen zwischen Bund und Ländern sehr deutlich zum Ausdruck. Es gibt hierzu bereits eine sehr reichhaltige Literatur. Viele Kommissionen haben sich mit …

Technique and Performance Level Comparisons of Male and Female Hammer Throwers
… velocity at release, timing components, and centripetal force were different between sexes. The separation between the shoulders and hips and between the shoulders and the hammer at particular positions during the throw, radius changes at certain phases of the throw, and generation of large …

Inclusion behaviour in steel flows through convergent nozzles.
… move towards the nozzle wall by the action of centripetal force. A mathematical model has been developed which takes account of centripetal, gravitational, and drag forces. A computer programme has been written to predict particle behaviour in nozzle flows.</p> <p>To study the behaviour of …

Reading V.S. Naipaul : fiction and history 1967-1987
… based on the idea of opposing centrifugal and centripetal tendencies in reading. In chapters 4-6 this theory is tested with three sets of readers, using two of Naipaul's books from the late 1960s, a novel (The Mimic Men) and a history (The Loss of El Dorado). In chapter 4 the readers are …

Insiders and Outsiders: Global Social Movements, Party Politics, and Democracy in Europe and North America
… While domestic targets appear to exert some centripetal forces facilitating cooperation between insiders and outsiders, issue consensus or issue discord on grievances can create either centripetal forces that unite or centrifugal forces that unleash conflict. Grievances have the power to …

Design, and characterisation of impact based and non-contact piezoelectric harvesters for rotating objects
… piezoelectric harvesters. In this work, the centripetal force is used as the main acting force that causes the piezoelectric harvesters to produce output power. In order to achieve this, the harvesters are mounted in a horizontal position while the rotational forces are applied. The impact …

Information and Communications Technologies and Urban Environment: Empirical Analysis of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Region
… analyses suggest that ICT function as a centripetal force, and provide evidence of the interdependence between ICT and urban form. The findings also point out that geographic location still matters for ICT, despite the ""death of geography"" premise. Therefore, this dissertation has …

A Choreography of Water, Light, and Space Interplay
… modulates centrifugal (outward-directed) and centripetal (inward-directed) experiences, crafting a dynamic interplay between the individual and the surrounding space.

“Assimulation” in the Land of Ten-Thousand Iranian Communities: Public Assimilation Strategies, Private Preservation Identities
… A waning sense of identity incites a centripetal “fusion phase” of institutional life, uniting Iranians through the public celebration of pre-Islamic heritage, privately with extended family, and attempts to teach Persian, a critical tool to navigate the complexities of communication …

Análise de vibração de uma haste sob a ação de forca centrifuga e de Coriolis
… analysis of motion of a bar under the action of centripetal and Coriolis acceleration is investigated. A simplified one degree of freedom model is used for the cases of a rigid and a flexible bar. The equations of motion may be established by Lagrangian or Newtonian Mechanics and result in …

Semi-Analytical Model to Study Vibrations of High-Speed, Rotating Axisymmetric Bodies Coupled to Other Rotating/ Stationary Structures
… or rotating. The model includes Coriolis and centripetal effects. The prestress (or geometric) stiffness matrix that arises from external forces and constant centripetal acceleration has additional terms compared to the literature, and these terms can significantly change the natural …

Opposing Actin Networks Modulate the Mechano-Activation of the Integrin LFA-1 During Immunological Synapse formation
… at the periphery of the contact site followed by centripetal flow of the network towards the center of the IS. While it is well known that this F-actin flow is required for the maintenance of signaling at the IS, the mechanism behind this observation has remained elusive. Recent evidence has …

Single Unit and Population Analysis of Saccade-related Fastigial Nucleus Activity in the Alert Monkey
… saccades, (2) if there is a difference between centripetal and centrifugal saccades, and (3) if FOR neurones influence acceleration and deceleration of a saccade and, if so, in what way. For this purpose, a 9-point horizontal starting position training paradigm was applied, using a 3x3 square …

The Politics of Choice and Institutional Development in Global Environmental Regimes
… to pursue institutional change. Yet there are centripetal forces that can bias regime development towards the status quo. The ways in which these forces of change and stability interact result in variations of institutional development and regime complexity. From the distributive historical …

Mixed convection and heat management in the Mars gravity biosatellite
… a habitable environment for the mice. The centripetal acceleration due to rotation creates the tendency for heated air to move by free convection toward the axis of rotation. Dominance of forced convection throughout the payload module will ensure nearly isothermal air and effective heat …

Projecting the uncanny : the intersection of visuality and architecture
… imbued with artificial gravity generated by centripetal force. Human experience in outer space is tied to feelings of disorientation and distortion. This project seeks to understand these perceptual changes in order to adapt the human body to a new way of seeing. The visualization of movement …

The development of a dynamically coupled axial-torsional-lateral point transfer matrix for a whirling eccentric mass
… The inertial forces contained the effects of; centripetal acceleration, acceleration relative to a moving reference frame, Coriolis acceleration and a disguised form of tangential acceleration. The transfer matrix which resulted from this derivation was verified. To verify the lateral motion …
