Housing Stigmatization: A General Theory

General practice on a new housing estate.

The estate is situated about 15 miles from the centre of London and was built by the London County Council between the years 1948 and 1952 as. part of the post-war housing programme. It comprises just over 4,000 houses, with the necessary shops, schools, etc. Almost all the families on the estate came from Greater London. About twothirds of them were rehoused from the Council's waiting list, pr...

A Contextualised General Systems Theory

A system is something that can be separated from its surrounds, but this definition leaves much scope for refinement. Starting with the notion of measurement, we explore increasingly contextual system behaviour and identify three major forms of contextuality that might be exhibited by a system: (1) between components; (2) between system and experimental method; and (3) between a system and its ...

A General Waveguide Circuit Theory

This work generalizes and extends the classical circuit theory of electromagnetic waveguides. Unlike the conventional theory, the present formulation applies to all waveguides composed of linear, isotropic material, even those involving lossy conductors and hybrid mode fields, in a fully rigorous way. Special attention is given to distinguishing the traveling waves, constructed with respect to ...

A General Small Cancellation Theory

In this article a generalized version of small cancellation theory is developed which is applicable to specific types of high-dimensional simplicial complexes. The usual results on small cancellation groups are then shown to hold in this new setting with only slight modifications. For example, arbitrary dimensional versions of the Poincaré construction and the Cayley complex are described.
