When action is not least
We examine the nature of the stationary character of the Hamilton action S for a space-time trajectory worldline x t of a single particle moving in one dimension with a general time-dependent potential energy function U x , t . We show that the action is a local minimum for sufficiently short worldlines for all potentials and for worldlines of any length in some potentials. For long enough worl...
متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
متن کاملForeign accent matters most when timing is wrong
This study aims to investigate native speakers’ perception of prosodic variation of Japanese utterances. The pitch contour above the word level is hard to determine due to individual variation or pragmatic and para-linguistic factors. Nevertheless, native speakers’ intonation is relatively consistent as long as the context and intention of the utterance is predetermined. On the other hand, L2 s...
متن کاملMotor neuronal activity varies least among individuals when it matters most for behavior.
How does motor neuronal variability affect behavior? To explore this question, we quantified activity of multiple individual identified motor neurons mediating biting and swallowing in intact, behaving Aplysia californica by recording from the protractor muscle and the three nerves containing the majority of motor neurons controlling the feeding musculature. We measured multiple motor component...
متن کاملWhen is the Critical Path Not the Most Critical Path?
This paper challenges the conventional thinking, by proposing a new way to understand and use the term critical-path. At stake is much more than a semantic discussion of terminology. Numerous surveys have confirmed that CPM schedules are used for two primary reasons: project management and dispute resolution. To support either use, the critical-path must be identifiable in a consistent, objecti...
