This is an attempt at reviving Kneale's version of the description theory of names, which says that a proper name is synonymous with a definite description of the form 'the individual named so-and-so'. To begin with, I adduce a wide range of observations to show that names and overt definites are alike in all relevant respects. I then turn to Kripke's main objection against Kneale's proposal, a...

This paper investigates the validity of azimuthal averaging 3D temperature fields in analysis lateral heat transfer dense particle packings. is conducted by synthetic generation packing surrogates spheres, cylinders and Raschig rings with tube-to-pellet diameter ratio, 3 < N 6, using an in-house Rigid Body Dynamics algorithm, followed detailed discrete pellet CFD simulations from wall to bed fo...

Abstract A ring mesh is a large-scale manufacturable structure with versatile applications in architecture and for protective systems. However, the static dynamic numerical simulation of resource-intensive task due to many nonlinear contact points between individual rings. To characterize rigid body behavior mesh, this paper, representative volume element loaded under different in-plane directi...

This paper aims to provide support for the view that individual concepts are basic to natural language semantics. First, the use of constant individual concepts allows us to maintain Kripke’s view of proper names as nondescriptional rigid designators in the face of problems created by so-called “empty names.” And second, the distinction between constant and variable individual concepts can func...

We give a partial positive answer to a conjecture of Tyurin ([28]). Indeed we prove that on a general quintic hypersurface of P every arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay rank 2 vector bundle is infinitesimally rigid.

We show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. Hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. As aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. This generalizes and simplifies a result of  Dung and   Smith. As another consequen...

Rigidity theory has helped in our understanding of the properties of network glasses. We analyze the connection between rigidity and various non-random features in the network structure. Lack of small rings in the network can lead to a sharper rigidity transition. We review a model of network self-organization that we have proposed, in which the existence of an intermediate phase that is rigid,...
