Chandrasekhar–Kendall functions in astrophysical dynamos

Some of the contributions of Chandrasekhar to the field of magnetohydrodynamics are highlighted. Particular emphasis is placed on the Chandrasekhar–Kendall functions that allow a decomposition of a vector field into rightand left-handed contributions. Magnetic energy spectra of both contributions are shown for a new set of helically forced simulations at resolutions higher than what has been av...

Influence functions of the Spearman and Kendall correlation measures

Nonparametric correlation estimators as the Kendall and Spearman correlation are widely used in the applied sciences. They are often said to be robust, in the sense of being resistant to outlying observations. In this paper we formally study their robustness by means of their influence functions and gross-error sensitivities. Since robustness of an estimator often comes at the price of an incre...

Jayanthi Kumar, Elizabeth Kendall

This paper outlines a new approach to determining the effect of part complexity on the cost of manufacturing a composite part. It also describes a methodology for predicting cost based on complexity that uses the techniques of Method Time Measurement (MTM). The proposed methodology offers a relatively simple method to predict the fabrication time of a complex component. It is based on the theor...

Edward Calvin Kendall.

E Kendal l was b o r n o n 8 t h M a r c h 1886 in South Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Kendall obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1908, Master of Science in 1909, and Ph. D. in Chemistry in 1910. From 1910-1911 he worked as a research chemist with Parke Davis where his main task was to isolate thyroid hormones.1 He continued to work on thyroid harmones till 1914 while working at St. Lu...
