The Debye series is developed for electromagnetic scattering by a spheroid in order to decompose the far-zone fields into various physical processes. The geometrical rainbow angle and supernumerary spacing parameter are determined from the Debye intensity by fitting the results to an Airy function and comparing them to their assumed values in ray optics and Airy theory, respectively. Eccentrici...

CIIPS Glory is using a local intelligence approach to solve the task of robot soccer. In this respect our system is much closer to the F-2000 league (mid-size) than other approaches in the F180 (small-size) league. We are using EyeBot controllers, the RoBIOS operating system and the EyeCam digital onboard camera systems (CMOS). Our robot family also comprises 6-legged and biped walking machines...

What is the scope of identity? The intuitive response is that it applies everywhere, since every object is identical to itself. In this sense, identity is a general concept. In this chapter, I argue for the generality of identity by critically examining some attempts at relativizing it. I argue that each alleged instance of relativization ultimately presupposes identity, and as a result, identi...
