This paper proves that every Parsons graph Tb(d, q) is connected except for T1(2, 2) and T2(2, 3), and the graph Tb(d, q) has a 1-factor except for T1(2, 2).

Talcot Parsons suggested in 1963 that there are basically three kinds of authority: utilitarian authority, coercive authority, and persuasive authority. In this paper, I show that the models developed by Gibbons and Rutten (1997), Hirshleifer (1991), Skaperdas (1992), Akerlof (1976) and Basu (1986) can be viewed as models where issues such as authority, power, influence and ideology, in the sen...

The freshman engineering program at the University of Tennessee consists of two 4 hour courses, Physics for Engineers I and II. Calculus I or higher is a co-requisite for Physics for Engineers I. The content of the Physics for Engineers courses is an introduction to engineering physics (approximately the first 20-25 chapters of an introductory engineering physics textbook), and an introduction ...
