Julian H. Webb

Webb scales fast-start maneuvers.

The aim of this classic paper by Paul Webb (Webb, 1976) was to investigate the effect of size on fast-start performance and to use the results in order to make some theoretical considerations on predator–prey interactions. Until the 1970s, most work on fish swimming had focused on steady conditions, with the goal of studying the relationship between the energetics, performance and kinematics of...

POWERS Julian

The Unitary Executive offers a powerful case for the historical pedigree of the unitary executive theory. Offering an account of presidential practice stemming from George Washington to George W. Bush, the book seeks to ground unitary executive theory with exhaustive historical evidence. Although the authors do not purport to present a history of the presidency, they do provide important and co...

Statement Julian

My mathematical research interests are in number theory and algebraic geometry. My thesis work concerns the arithmetic of a family of rational numbers known as multiple harmonic sums, which are truncated approximations of multiple zeta values. I explore new structures underlying relations involving multiple harmonic sums, p-adic L-values, Bernoulli numbers, and binomial coefficients. This is us...

Webb - Eros & Psychology

I would like in this essay to use the theme of "Eros" to explore some of the ways psychology and philosophy can illuminate the sources of our world views.(1) In view of the fact that Eros has been a major theme of philosophy as well as psychology and that attitudes toward it seem often to be both deeply rooted in world views and also generative of world views, it seems especially suited to an i...
