Plasmas of Arbitrary Neutrality
… the first systematic studies of plasmas of arbitrary neutrality. The degree of neutralization of the plasma can be parameterized through the quantity η ≡ |n_e - Z n_i|/|n_e + Z n_i|. In CNT, η can be varied continuously from pure electron (η = 1) to quasi-neutral (η ≈ 0) by adjusting the …

Arbitrary Degree T-Splines
<p>T-Splines is a freeform surface type similar to NURBS, that allows partial rows of control points. Up until now, T-Splines have only been formally defined for the degree three case. This paper extends the definition to support all odd, even, and mixed degree T-Spline surfaces, making T-Splines a …

The Indistinguishability Between the Arbitrary and Non-Arbitrary Nature of Things in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit
… there is an indistinguishability between the arbitrary and the non-arbitrary nature of things. We argued that this position has its origins in Hegel’s Phenomenology once the three skeptical discoveries are realized. These skeptical discoveries are 1) That what is universal is compatible with …

Autonomous Space Surveillance for Arbitrary Domains
<p>Space is becoming increasingly congested every day and the task of accurately tracking satellites is paramount for the continued safe operation of both manned and unmanned space missions. In addition to new spacecraft launches, satellite break-up events and collisions generate large amounts of …

Plane Algebroid Curves in Arbitrary Characteristic
… the study of germs of plane curves defined over arbitrary algebraically closed fields. Classically, this was performed over the field of complex numbers, by using as a main tool the Newton-Puiseux parametrization, related to the normalization of the curve. The theory was then adapted to arbitrary …

An Arbitrary Formation of Unspecified Value
<p><em>An Arbitrary Formation of Unspecified Value </em>is a collection of photographs, letterpress, and a book-length essay concerned with notions of decay. The concept of decay is interrogated through meditations on memory, place, and body. Decay is examined through the different forms it takes; …

Quantization of Fields of Arbitrary Spin
… field equations for elementary particles of arbitrary spin is a long standing problem of Quantum Field Theory. Although much work has been done on relativistic field theories describing fields with various mass-spin spectra, little has been done on picking out those theories which are …

Outliers and influence under arbitrary variance
… statistic is obtained in closed form. For an arbitrary outlier pattern, and for the problem of outliers in the generalized multivariate regression model, three versions of the EM-algorithm corresponding to three types of outlier are used to obtain maximum likelihood estimates iteratively. A …

Scheduling algorithms for arbitrary communication networks
… designing scheduling schemes for networks with arbitrary topology and scheduling constraints. We address the optimality of scheduling schemes for packet networks in terms of throughput, delay and fairness. Specifically, we design two scheduling schemes. The first one achieves simultaneous …

Fluctuating surface currents : a new algorithm for efficient prediction of Casimir interactions among arbitrary materials in arbitrary geometries
… energies, forces, and torques between bodies of arbitrary shapes and materials in terms of interactions among effective electric and magnetic surface currents flowing on the surfaces of the objects. We demonstrate that the master equations of the FSC approach arise as logical consequences of …

Ultrafast Atomic Dynamics in Arbitrary Light Fields
… atoms and atomic ions in light fields of arbitrary complexity.<br/><br/>An ab initio R-matrix with time-dependence (RMT) theory for ultrafast atomic processes in arbitrarily polarised laser fields is described. The theory is applicable to multielectron atoms and atomic ions subject to …

Competing Arbitrary and Non-Arbitrary Stimulus Relations in Adults, Normally Developing Children and Children with a Diagnosis of Autism
… Smeets (2002) who reported that competing non-arbitrary stimulus relations disrupted equivalence-consistent responding in adult humans. Chapter 1 provides a review of research into stimulus equivalence, derived relational responding, and notes that the Colour-Test condition presented in the …
