This is one of the text-books of Physical Chemistry edited by Sir Willam Ramsay. It views chemistry from the standpoint of the explanation of its phenomena by the physical laws which govern appreciable weights of substances, and it is shown that they operate equally in the changes which take place between individual mollecules during chemical reaction. It is pleasant to find that sharp distinct...

Graphic statics is undergoing a renaissance, with computerized visual representation becoming both easier and more spectacular as time passes. While methods of the past are revived, little emphasis has been placed on studying mathematics behind these methods. Due to considerable advances our mathematical understanding since birth graphic statics, we can learn lot by examining old from modern vi...

We present some of the results obtained during the last 8 years about complex networks. Starting with the collection of data in the form of networks or graphs, we proceed on the characterization at different scales: microscopic, macroscopic, and mesoscopic. We introduce also the basic models incorporating complexity in the pattern of connectivities. Finally we review some results on dynamical f...

Online Goal Babbling and Direction Sampling are recently proposed methods for direct learning of inverse kinematics mappings from scratch even in high-dimensional sensorimotor spaces following the paradigm of ”learning while behaving”. To learn inverse statics mappings – primarily for gravity compensation – from scratch and without using any closed-loop controller, we modify and enhance the Onl...

We develop and illustrate a methodology for obtaining robust comparative statics results for collusion models in markets with differentiated goods by analyzing the homogeneous goods limit of these models. This analysis reveals that the impact of parameter changes on the incentives to deviate from collusion and the punishment profits are often of different order of magnitude yielding comparative...

The Correspondence Principle is the relation, which exists in certain economic models, between comparative statics of equilibria and the properties of out-of-equilibrium dynamics. The Correspondence Principle (CP) implies that one obtains unambiguous comparative statics by selecting equilibria with desirable dynamic properties. Generally, the CP determines comparative statics in models with a o...
