Approaching Asymptote

Asymptote is a relatively new tool to make graphics that is integrated with the TEX family. On its website its developers, Andy Hammerlindl, John Bowman, and Tom Prince, characterize it as “a powerful descriptive vector graphics language inspired by METAPOST that features robust floating-point numerics, automatic picture sizing, native three-dimensional graphics, and a C++/Java-like syntax enha...

Approaching Avoidance

Craving is only one component of the mental processes that influence drinking behavior. Alcohol-related cues (ARCs) can set in motion a dynamic competition between inclinations to approach drinking and inclinations to avoid drinking. Craving can thus be integrated into a comprehensive model of decisionmaking in which ambivalence or conflict is a key element. The relative strength of each compon...

That they should stand at some distance is inevitable and no bad thing, but to keep them too far apart for too long has, among other bad effects, the rather paradoxical one of making both parties con...

Generalized Self-Approaching Curves

We consider all planar oriented curves that have the following property depending on a xed angle '. For each point B on the curve, the rest of the curve lies inside a wedge of angle ' with apex in B. This property restrains the curve's meandering, and for ' 2 this means that a point running along the curve always gets closer to all points on the remaining part. For all ' < , we provide an upper...
