nonequilibrium statistical mechanics we focus on nonequilibrium corrections Δs to entropy and energy of the fluid in terms of the nonequilibrium density distribution function, f. We also evaluate coefficients of wave model of heat such as: relaxation time, propagation speed and thermal inertia. With these data a quadratic Lagrangian and a variational principle of Hamilton's type follows for a f...

In this paper, the flow-induced vibration and flutter instability of cantilever carbon nanotubes conveying fluid and modeled as a thin-walled Timoshenko beam are investigated. Analytically nonlocal theory, transverse shear and rotary inertia effects are incorporated in this study. The governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived through Hamilton's principle. Numerical analysis is...

In order to give an account of the ultra high energy asymptotics of quantized elds we propose a general relativistic kinetic approach. The possibility of this approach rests on an assumed persistence of a (state dependent) self-interaction of quantized elds in ultra small distances. In a kinetic approach the average structure of this interaction leads to the concept of local quantum inertia whi...

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics helps to estimate corrections to the entropy and energy of the fluid with heat flux in terms of the nonequilibrium distribution function, f. This leads to the coefficients of wave model of heat: relaxation time, propagation speed and thermal inertia. With these data a quadratic Lagrangian and a variational principle of Hamilton’s type follows for the fluid i...

This paper uses Gauss’ Principle of Least Constraint to derive the “natural” dynamic equations for redundant manipulators. This approach is the fastest way to the result that the operational space inertia matrix of the manipulator is the natural weighting matrix .for the projection used in solving the redundancy problem. Force-controlled robots form a special case of redundant robots, such that...

in which certain therapies have adequate, even overwhelming if not unequivocal, evidence of effectiveness.5 Clinical inertia occurs, for example, when the patient fails to attain a biomarker goal (e.g., blood pressure less than 140/90 millimeters of mercury [mm Hg]) due at least in part to failure to intensify pharmacotherapy through upward dosing and/or addition of drugs to the therapeutic reg...

A main obstacle for building large diagnosis systems is the problem of deciding when to use which inference pattern or representation. If diagnostic actions such as changing representations or applying specific inference patterns are understood in terms of change of working hypotheses, the control problem becomes a belief revision problem: when to adopt or drop beliefs. Our approach proceeds in...

In this paper I question the Inertial Theory of language change put forward by Longobardi (2001), which claims that syntactic change does not arise unless caused and that any such change must originate as an ‘interface phenomenon’. It is shown that these two claims and the contention that ‘syntax, by itself, is diachronically completely inert’ (Longobardi, 2001:278), if construed as a substanti...
