Among the many telling episodes included in John Carson's account of efforts to measure merit is one concerning the Société d'Anthropologie de Paris, founded in 1859. In order to discuss the comparative weights of brains or the prehistoric use of hatchets, Paul Broca and his followers had to agree to allow a police spy to attend all their meetings, for, as the government saw it, such science wa...

we derive whole series of new integral inequalities of the hardy-type, with non-conjugate exponents. first, we prove and discuss two equivalent general inequa-li-ties of such type, as well as their corresponding reverse inequalities. general results are then applied to special hardy-type kernel and power weights. also, some estimates of weight functions and constant factors are obtained. ...

Attempts to apply methods of statistical thermodynamics to turbulent flows have usually been based on wave number decomposition of an Eulerian velocity field. ' Intermittency, which involves spatially localized phenomena and hence phase correlations, is notoriously difficult to treat in this way. An essential feature of turbulence is the randomization of positions of fluid elements, in the sens...

This document describes the design and implementation of the ADAMS Storage Management System. The system consists of a server that manages connections with multiple clients and passes storage requests to I/O-dedicated processes. The communication channels between clients and the server are implemented through sockets, the basic interprocess communication facility in BSD UNIX†. The interface pro...

In recent work, various algebras of stable degree zero operations in p-local K-theory were described explicitly [5]. The elements are certain infinite sums of Adams operations. Here we show how to make sense of the same expressions for MU(p) and BP , thus identifying the “Adams subalgebra” of the algebras of operations. We prove that the Adams subalgebra is the centre of the ring of degree zero...

In this paper, the effects of roll center height of McPherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle are first studied, and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual Class A vehicle. ADAMS/Car software was used for the analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center. Next, optimization...

Recently, a segment of the Adams-Shuswap sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) population initiated freshwater migration several weeks earlier than historically recorded, resulting in high mortality rates. The comigrating Chilko population maintained their historic river entry timing and did not experience elevated mortality. To test the hypothesis that population-specific differences in physiolo...
