Recently, a new optical effect was observed by Goulon, Rogalev, Goulon-Ginet, Benayoun, Paolasini, Brouder, Malgrange & Metcalf [Phys. Rev. Lett. (2000), 85, 4385-4388] using linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. The authors have correctly analysed the effect using the mathematical framework of Buckingham and Barron. A brief review is given with the underlying simplicity discussed from a sy...

The nondimensional groups which characterize dynamically equivalent single exible link (SFL) ma-nipulators are determined using the Buckingham Pi method of dimensional analysis. Scaling laws for continuous-time and discrete-time linear rational controllers are developed for dynamically equivalent SFL systems. These theoretical scaling laws are veriied experimentally for a discrete PD control law.

The Internet plays a pivotal role in accommodating and often shaping communication to fit changing economic and socially hectic circumstances in our lives (Das & Sahoo, 2012). In the present study we examine the effect of online social networks on voluntary engagement, giving behavior and online money contributions. We seek to test whether the internet and social media are effective platforms f...

The Lennard-Jones(12-6) and the Exponential-6 potential functions are commonly used in computational softwares for describing the van der Waals interaction energy. Some softwares allow switching between these two potentials under prescribed condition(s) that attempt to connect the parameter relationship between the two functions. Here we propose a technique by which the parameter relationship b...
