The article describes the background of Roman Ingarden's 1922 review Leon Chwistek's book Wielość rzeczywistości (The Plurality Realities), and back-and-forth that followed. Despite differences, two shared some interesting similarities. Both authors had important ties to intellectual happenings outside Poland were not considerd mainstream at home. In end, however, it is these connections allowe...

Rats gathered pellets from the tops of 15.5-cm-tall poles. In a matrix of poles, bait was located on the tops of poles arranged in either a square (Experiment 1) or linear (Experiment 2) configuration. The specific locations of baited poles varied unpredictably from trial to trial. The data show that the rats' choices were controlled by the spatial configuration of baited locations. This indica...

(2) HV def = −∂ x + V (x), on R, or on [0,∞) with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The resonances or scattering poles of HV are defined as the poles of the meromorphic continuation of the resolvent, RV (λ) = (HV − λ ), from Imλ > 0, to C. Except for the poles at λ for which λ are eigenvalues of HV , RV (λ) is bounded on L 2 for Imλ > 0. Its Schwartz kernel, that is the Green function, ...

Finite element analyses using ANSYS were conducted on orthotropic, polygonal, wood laminated composite poles subjected to a body force and a concentrated load at the free end. Deflections and stress distributions of small-scale and full-size composite poles were analyzed and compared to the results obtained in an experimental study. The predicted deflection for both small-scale and full-size co...

In this paper, the matrix pencil method has been utilized for estimating the natural resonances from different transient responses recorded along multiple look directions as a function of time after the incident field has passed the structure. The novelty of this article is that a single estimate for all the poles are done utilizing multiple transient waveforms emanating from the structure alon...

The prologue of new High Voltage (HV) transmission mains into the community necessitates earthing design to ensure safety compliance of the system. Concrete poles are widely used within HV transmission mains; many retired transmission mains with timber poles are being replaced with concrete ones, green transmission mains are deploying concrete poles. The earthing arrangement of the concrete pol...
