Thinkers and philosophers have constantly benefited from different         approaches of reasoning to explore and justify their ideas. Theses reasoning            approaches are considered as the principle instruments in speculative activities of the thinkers. To this end to achieve the procedure of thinking and the way philosophers achieve objectives, it is necessary to recognize their reasoni...

Series and parallel connections are usually first encountered in the study of electrical circuits. Our approach is to first examine a relevant class of partially ordered sets (posets) and then to define series-parallel networks by analogy [1]. Interesting asymptotic constants appear everywhere, similar to those associated with counting various species of trees [2]. We also talk briefly about th...

Earth’s climate sensitivity is often interpreted in terms of feedbacks that can alter the sensitivity from that of a no-feedback Stefan-Boltzmann radiator, with the feedback concept and algebra introduced by analogy to the use of this concept in the electronics literature. This analogy is quite valuable in interpreting the sensitivity of the climate system, but usage of this algebra and termino...

ABSTRACT – Flory’s model of a polymer deals with three characteristics lengths, namely: the monomer’s length, the chain’s length and the length of the radius of gyration. A first analogy can be established between this model and that of the electrical conductivity of good metals at the room temperature, by taking the Compton’s length, the electron mean free path and the Fermi’s length. A second...

Are you working to improve electrical safety? Some time ago, I provided an article titled “Electrical Safety Leadership From the ‘12th Man’” [A1] . The included analogy from football where only 11 men are allowed on field at one time. team was short of pl...

A scheme is presented that is based on the alloy analogy model and allows one to account for thermal lattice vibrations as well as spin fluctuations when calculating response quantities in solids. Various models to deal with spin fluctuations are discussed concerning their impact on the resulting temperature-dependent magnetic moment, longitudinal conductivity, and Gilbert damping parameter. It...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of differing modes of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) operation: synchronous, independent (asynchronous or pseudosynchronous) or counter pulsation (antisynchronous), on left atrial pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary blood flow and right ventricular work load, utilizing a previously published electrical analogy of the systemic and pulmonary ci...
