In the popular FOX TV reality show, American Idol, the judges, who are presumably experts in evaluating singing effort, have no voting power when the field is narrowed to the top 24 contestants. It is only the votes of viewers that count. In the 2007 season of the show, one of the judges, Simon Cowell, threatened to quit the show if a contestant, Sanjaya Malakar, who was clearly a low-ability c...

We investigate /xpoint operators for domain equations. It is routine to verify that if every endofunctor on a category has an initial algebra, then one can construct a /xpoint operator from the category of endofunctors to the category. That construction does not lift routinely to enriched categories, using the usual enriched notion of initiality of an endofunctor. We show that by embedding the ...

in this study, a numerical computational fluid dynamics study is conducted in order to predict the aerodynamic forces on the np car. the turbulent air flow around the car is modeled using the realizable k-ε model. first, results are validated against those presented for the ahmed’s body. next, the fluid flow around the car is simulated for different car speeds ( to mph) and flow directions ( to...

Signal variation caused by motions along the lift shaft in a campus environment and on board a ship is compared. The guiding effect is common for both lift shafts, and the variation in amplitude of the guided signals is more significant for the lift shaft with larger dimensions. Unlike the lift shaft within the campus, the ship with its lift shaft forms a ‘waveguide within waveguide’ structure....

Non-programmed aging theories suggest that in general symptoms of aging are independent of each other. We can find treatments for highly age-related conditions like cancer, different treatments for heart disease, yet different treatments for Alzheimer’s, and so forth, but aging is itself an untreatable condition. “Anti-aging medicine” is confined to cosmetically delaying the appearance of aging...

will have noticed a number of cosmetic changes made to the journal since it received its last major facelift at the beginning of 1999. Most of these changes have been designed to make the journal a more attractive “read”. But the real changes go more than skin deep. The Editorial Board has been implementing structural changes to the way that the journal is produced and disseminated, with the ai...
