Local approach to quantum entanglement
… in quantum entanglement by introducing a new approach to the analysis of entanglement, especially in continuous-variable states, and shows that it leads to the first systematic quantification of the (local) entanglement in arbitrary bipartite non-Gaussian states. By applying this local …

An Indeterminacy-based Local Approach and Ontology for Quantum Theory
… theories, it has the great benefit of being a local, non-relational, and non-superdeterministic/non-retrocausal "interpretation" of quantum theory, or quantum theory (QT). EnDQT has the benefit of being conservative, not modifying the fundamental equations of QT, and, in principle, allowing …

Development of a Global/Local Approach and a Geometrically Non-linear Local Panel Analysis for Structural Design
… this effort, a new method for performing global/local design optimization of large complex structures (such as aircraft wings or fuselages) was developed. A simple and flexible interface between the global and local design levels was constructed using response surface methodology. The interface …

Optimization of composite box-beam structures including effects of subcomponent interaction
… in the optimal design process. Two different approaches are used to impose the buckling constraints. When the global approach is used, buckling constraints are imposed on the global structure via a linear eigenvalue analysis. This approach allows the subcomponent panels to interact in a …

Evaluation of efficiency of partial hybrid finite element method using composite laminates with crack
The efficiency of the global/local approach using partial hybrid finite elements is examined by the determination of interlaminar stress fields around interior delamination crack tips in composite laminates subjected to out-of-plane loading. The stress field consisting of both in-plane and …

Odd characterizations of almost simple groups - 3-local and character theoretic methods
… a particular hypothesis related to the 3-local structure of finite groups of local characteristic 3 and characterize two almost simple proper extensions of \(\Omega\)\(_8\) (2) as examples of the local approach to group recognition. We also give a 3-local characterization of the sporadic …

Classifying complex topics using spatial-semantic document visualization: An evaluation of an interaction model to support open-ended search tasks
… relevance. In particular we hypothesise that the locality of any given aspect exemplar will tend to comprise a sufficient proportion of same-aspect documents to support a visually guided strategy for focused, same-aspect searching that we term the aspect cluster growing strategy. We examine …

Theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of contact fatigue and surface damage in prealloyed and diffusion bonded sintered steels
… that crack nucleation is preceded either by local plastic deformation (contact fatigue and surface plastic deformation) or local brittleness (brittle surface cracks ) of the metallic matrix. With reference to the mean yield strength of the matrix (mean approach) or the yield strength of soft …

Developing resilience through local food
… the way its production is disconnected from the local environment and the people it serves, creates instability and uncertainty in that which we depend on for our survival. Following the discussion on the unstable nature of the industrial model and its impact on our well-being, is a portrait of …

The reconstruction of late quaternary vegetation and climatic patterns on the Cape West Coast, using a charcoal sequence from Elands Bay Cave
… species-climate relationships. This quantitative approach in predicting past climates is novel in the western Cape. Two scales of study were used, a local and a regional scale. The study area used in the local approach was a block of land in the surrounds of the cave where the present-day …

Distributed optimization of traffic delay on a periodic switched grid network
… on how one can analyze big networks by taking a local approach and determining bounds in smaller networks that are part of the big picture.

A Methodology for Autonomous Navigation and Mapping in an Unknown Unstructured Dynamic Indoor Environment
… such environments is addressed by Simultaneous Localization and Mapping approach (SLAM) in either local or global scan matching approaches. SLAM approaches that utilize laser rangefinders depend on a scan matching method of the successive scans. The local approaches suffer from high time …

Thermomechanical and Vibration Analysis of Stiffened Unitized Structures and Threaded Fasteners
… The former problem was analyzed using a global/local approach using the commercial finite element software ANSYS while a fully functional code using isogeometric analysis was developed from scratch for the latter. For the threaded fasteners, a global simplified 3D model is built to evaluate the …

The New Local Governance of Immigration in Canada: Local Immigration Partnerships and their role in Immigrant Settlement and Integration in Small- and Medium-sized Ontarian Cities
This research undertakes a policy analysis of the Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) program. Initiated in Ontario in 2008, this national policy takes a local approach to the settlement and integration of immigrants. An objective of the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement, the LIP is a …

Dry sliding and contact fatigue behavior of different high density Ni-Cu-Mo PM Steels
… expected to decrease wear resistance, due to a localized plastic deformation which reduces the load bearing capacity of the surface. Once the effect of the presence of Ni has been assessed, in the second part of the work dry sliding wear resistance of two Ni-alloyed sintered steels, differing …

Interactions between global and local performance incentives on decision-making and categorization
… has shown that the regulatory fit between global approach/avoidance goals and the local approach/avoidance mechanisms of goal pursuit influence cognition and behavior in predictable ways. A regulatory fit leads to an increase in motivation and engagement relative to a regulatory mismatch. The …

Constraint and Ductile Tearing Effects on the Cleavage Fracture of Ferritic Steel
… with the Weibull stress model, i.e ., the ""local approach"" for fracture at the micro-scale. The E1921 procedures assume that uniform, small-scale yielding (SSY) conditions exist at fracture along the full crack-front. Plasticity induced constraint loss (crack-front triaxiality) frequently …

Euclidean network information theory

The effect of pre-strain on the fracture toughness of line pipe steel
… on fracture toughness was derived using the local approach to fracture. The effect of pre-strain is expressed in terms of the ratio of the fracture toughness of the pre-strained material to that of the virgin material. The HRR singularity was used to describe the stress and strain field …

Reciprocal classes of continuous time Markov Chains
… The first one is based on a pathwise approach and the second one on short time asymptotic. With the first approach one produces a family of functional equations whose only solutions are precisely the elements of the reciprocal class. These equations are integration by parts on path …
