Scaled Boolean algebras are a category of mathematical objects that arose from attempts to understand why the conventional rules of probability should hold when probabilities are construed, not as frequencies or proportions or the like, but rather as degrees of belief in uncertain propositions. This paper separates the study of these objects from that not entirely mathematical problem that moti...

Results from the analysis of data collected at the Tevatron pp collider at center of mass energies p s = 630 and 1800 GeV collected by the DD and CDF experiments are presented. Measurements of the inclusive production jet cross section, the inclusive dijet mass spectrum, the triple diierential dijet cross section, and the dijet angular distribution are compared to order 3 s QCD predictions.

In this paper, the δ-hyperbolic concept, originally developed for infinite graphs, is adapted to very large but finite graphs. Such graphs can indeed exhibit properties typical of negatively curved spaces, yet the traditional δ-hyperbolic concept, which requires existence of an upper bound on the fatness δ of the geodesic triangles, is unable to capture those properties, as any finite graph has...

In this paper, we present a mesoscopic–macroscopic model of self–consistent charge transport. It is based upon an asymptotic expansion of solutions of the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). We identify three dimensionless parameters from the BTE. These parameters are, respectively, the quotient of reference scales for drift and thermal velocities, the scaled mean free path, and the scaled Deby...

Walking is a commonly available activity to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Accurately tracking and measuring calories expended during walking can improve user feedback and intervention measures. Inertial sensors are a promising measurement tool to achieve this purpose. An important aspect in mapping inertial sensor data to energy expenditure is the question of normalizing across physiological pa...

Experiments were carried out to study the similarity of H-mode (High confinement mode) physics on the Alcator C-Mod [1] and DIII-D [2] tokamaks comparing plasmas with matched local edge dimensionless parameters (β, ρ∗, ν∗, q95) and shape (ε, κ, δ). It was observed that matching local values of the dimensionless parameters on top of the H-mode pedestals produces similar Te and ne profiles across...

improvements in the two-step synthesis of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2- (fluoromehoxy)propane (sevoflurane) that result in the product cost reduction, safety level enhancement and positive environmental impacts are described. this process consists of chloromethylation reaction of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (hfip) followed by a halogen-exchange fluorination. this is the first synthesis of sev...

the present work examines leaching of lipoxygenase-1 from soybean flour employing stirred tank vessel. the effect of operating parameters, impellers speed, operational period, temperature, ph and scale-up were considered.the acetic acid ph: 5.2 increased the leaching of lipoxygenase- 1.the sensitivity of agitator speed and geometrical-scale-up on the enzymeleaching has been conducted. the effec...

In this work, I address a primary issue with adapting categorical and algebraic concepts to functional analytic settings, the lack of free objects. Using a “normed set” and associated categories, I describe constructions of normed objects, which build from a set to a vector space to an algebra, and thus parallel the natural progression found in algebraic settings. Each of these is characterized...
