1571 A multi-heat addition turbine engine (MHATE) incorporates a plurality of heat addition devices to transfer energy to air and a plurality of turbines to extract energy from the air while converting it to work. The MHATE provides dry power and lower fuel consumption or lower combustor exit temperatures. 2,501.181 4/1950 Constant ............................ 60/226.1 2 Claims, 4 Drawing Sheet...

How often will elections end in landslides? What is the probability for a head-to-head race? Analyzing ballot results from several large countries rather anomalous and yet unexplained distributions have been observed. We identify tactical voting as the driving ingredient for the anomalies and introduce a model to study its effect on plurality elections, characterized by the relative strength of...

This note characterizes the ‘inverse plurality rule’, where voters specify only their least preferred alternative. This rule is characterized by a new minimal veto condition (MV) and the four well known conditions that characterize scoring rules; namely, Anonymity (A), Neutrality (N), Reinforcement (RE) and Continuity (C). Our new characterization result is related to the characterizations of a...

The plurality of models of ultimate reality is a central problem for religious philosophy. This essay sketches what is involved in mounting comparative inquiries across the plurality of models. In order to illustrate what advance would look like in such a comparative inquiry, an argument is presented to show that highly anthropomorphic models of ultimate reality are inferior to a number of comp...

Uniting Allah swt is one of the obligatory foundations in Islam. Therefore, Islamic scholars flocked to look for a valid concept oneness when faced with plurality things that can be sensed by humans, it sun, moon, mountains, trees, animals, humans themselves. As colors Islam, Sufism was also present develop monotheism. Which filled debates between pros and cons this day. His understanding looks...

We theoretically and experimentally study voter behavior in a setting characterized by plurality rule and mandatory voting. Voters choose from three options. We are interested in the occurrence of strategic voting in an environment where Condorcet cycles may occur and focus on how information about the preference distribution affects strategic behavior. We also vary the relative importance of t...

Previous studies have shown that false recognition decreases with study repetition for young but not for older adults, suggesting a deficit in recollection but not familiarity in old age. It is unclear, however, precisely how false recognition changes over a series of presentation frequencies for young and older adults. The present study examined this issue using a plurality discrimination task...

An opt ica l imaging sys tem provides automatic co-registration of a plurality of multi spectral images of an object which are generated by a plurality of video cameras or other optical detectors. The imaging system includes a modular assembly of beam splitters, lens tubes, camera lenses and wavelength selective filters which facilitate easy reconfiguration and adjustment of the system for vari...

How should groups make decisions? The authors provide an original evaluation of 9 group decision rules based on their adaptive success in a simulated test bed environment. When the adaptive success standard is applied, the majority and plurality rules fare quite well, performing at levels comparable to much more resource-demanding rules such as an individual judgment averaging rule. The plurali...
