The Oulipo and Modernism: Literature, Craft and Mathematical Form
The Oulipo is known primarily for the use of formal constraints in writing. The constraint is an arbitrary application of rigorously defined formal demands (often drawn from mathematics) in the process of literary or poetic composition. The group was founded in 1960, and their remit was limited to …

Static and dynamic modelling of the South African real sector
… has been in a straightforward and, if possible, mathematical form. Chapter One provides an introduction to the application of econometric methods to economic model building. Chapters Two, Three and Four consider the theory and application of various economic models to the South African case. …

Numerical simulation of forward combustion in a radial system
<p>"A generalized mathematical model is described for the thermal recovery of oil in a radial system in which there are conductive heat losses to the surrounding formations, three phase fluid flow, conductive-convective heat transfer within the producing formation, combustion, and aqueous-phase …

Dimensional Inconsistencies in Orthogonal Transformations of Onsager's Phenomenological Equations
… in which to see the relationship between a mathematical form and the physical occurrence. The acceleration of a car on a curve can be felt, the eye records the trajectory of a football in the air. Classical mechanics has been formulated in great detail and serves as a cornerstone in the …

On the Nature of Weak Intermolecular Forces: a First Principles Approach to Hydrogen Bonding and Pi-Type Interactions
… this field, chemical phenomena is represented in mathematical form and computers are used to provide numerical solutions to rigorous mathematical equations. Through this medium, the properties of atoms and molecules are calculated with high accuracy. Chapter 1 opens with a general discussion of …

Rough surface scattering under Gaussian beam illumination and the Kirchhoff approximation
… mean squared field is presented, as well as the mathematical form of the fourth moment of the scattered field. As a further study, the NRCS of a rough surface under a Gaussian tapered plane wave illumination is presented. The interplay of the beam spot and correlation length for such illuminated …

Generative Bayesian Optimization for Structured Design
… real-valued objective function. Typically, no mathematical form is available for this objective function, and it may be expensive to evaluate, making it a black-box. Many practical scientific discovery problems can be framed as black-box optimization. For example, in drug discovery one might …

Thermal stability criteria embedded in avanced control systems for batch process intensification
… exothermic batch reactors due to the general mathematical form. The effect of parametric uncertainty for process control is of utmost importance for industrial application. It is shown that the use of scenario-based MPC and worst case MPC, together with criterion $\mathcal{K}$ and Lyapunov …

A Computerized Marketing Model for Population Projections
… in the past required days or weeks of rigorous mathematical calculations to solve, can now be simulated in minutes through the use of the computer. This is accomplished by developing a computer model. Essentially, this involves expressing in mathematical form a given set of circumstances which …

Agency and incentive contract in private investment of transport project : an exploration of fundamental relationships
… efficiency gains (or minimizing loses). In the mathematical form, we uniquely integrated multitask agency and common agency into our modeling. The outcome could be simplified as: the equilibrium with n principals is exactly as if there is just one hypothetical principal with an objective …

A dynamic model of competition
… conceptual and descriptive - lacking a definite mathematical form of the interaction that can accommodate the suggested variations and the specific implication of those variations. This thesis presents a specific form of the competition coefficient that depends on the cost and benefit of the …

Harmonious Screen Interface Design Principles from Chinese Calligraphy
… in Chinese culture. It is reflected in many forms, e.g. painting and garden design. However, calligraphy gives a straight forward insight into harmony in two dimensions. The main hypothesis was that the principles for building a harmonious calligraphic character could be converted from …

Revealed Preference Analysis Under Nontransitive Preferences
… because it does not require assuming a specific mathematical form for consumers' underlying preferences. Rather than imposing a predetermined model, we let the data inform our analysis. Our work presents a direct parallel to Varian's theorem on nonparametric tests for homothetic utility …

Design Optimization Techniques for Time-Critical Cyber-Physical Systems
… well-established optimization frameworks such as mathematical programming; 2) New system models and timing analysis are being developed in a way that is increasingly unfriendly to optimization. Due to these difficulties, existing practice for optimization mostly relies on meta or ad-hoc …

Modeling of sheet metal fracture for shell finite elements with component level validation
… causing premature failure of parts during forming and crash has become an important factor limiting design of car bodies. The increasing usage of advanced high strength steels and other lightweight materials to meet ever-stringent standards on passenger safety and gas emissions makes …
