We construct extinction curves based on Mie's theory for spherical dust grain with size distributions between 50-2500 A and composed by elements found in meteorites. We explore the issue of whether the observed spectral energy distribution might be...
The current attempt is aimed to honor the first centennial of Johannes Diderik van der Waals (VDW) awarding Nobel Prize in Physics. The VDW theory of ordinary fluids is reviewed in the first part of the paper, where special effort is devoted to the e...
Notions of compatible and almost compatible pseudo-Riemannian metrics, which are motivated by the theory of compatible (local and nonlocal) Poisson structures of hydrodynamic type and generalize the notion of flat pencil of metrics, are introduced...
*This is a [Gods of Terror theory post][Terror], which correlates between the gods of A Song of Ice and Fire and their inspiration in the Cthulhu Mythos. It's quite long, as it's important to cover th...
Scrum, the most popular agile method and project management framework, is widely reported to be used, adapted, misused, and abused in practice. However, not much is known about how Scrum actually works in practice, and critically, where, when, how an...
This paper seeks to explore the potential trade-off arising between the theories of $\textit{Equality of Opportunity}$ and $\textit{Opportunity Pluralism}$. Whereas the first theory has received much attention in the literature on Welfare Economics,...
to make use of as relevant, suitable, or pertinent: to apply a theory to a problem. to put to use, esp. for a particular purpose: to apply pressure to open a door.
The only fault we can fairly lay at Lucas' and Penrose's doors, for continuing to believe in the essential soundness of the Goedelian argument, is their naive faith in, first, non-verifiable assertions in standard expositions of classical theory, a...
A three-dimensional model of a single-layer lithium-ion pouch cell is presented which couples conventional porous electrode theory describing cell electrochemical behaviour with an energy balance describing cell thermal behaviour. Asymptotic analysis...
A collaborative network is a social network that is comprised of experts who cooperate with each other to fulfill a special goal. Analyzing this network yields meaningful information about the expertise of these experts and their subject areas. To pe...
The paper analyses trade between the most developed economies of the world. The analysis is based on the previously proposed model of international trade. This model of international trade is based on the theory of general economic equilibrium. The d...
Many people in the community have been wondering how it is that Wano is ending so soon? The final saga is about to begin. It seems like we are about to have a battle and there are also some loose ends...
Process algebra has been successful in many ways; but we don't yet see the lineaments of a fundamental theory. Some fleeting glimpses are sought from Petri Nets, physics and geometry....
We report on the temporal changes in undergraduate-level physics programs at Korean universities from 1915 to 2023 by analyzing data on physics-related departments and their students using basic statistics and the scaling theory of statistical physic...
We study the ring of regular functions on the space of planar electrical networks, which we coin the grove algebra. This algebra is an electrical analogue of the Plücker ring studied classically in invariant theory. We develop the combinatorics of d...
We establish a fixed point property for a certain class of locally compact groups, including almost connected Lie groups and compact groups of finite abelian width, which act by simplicial isometries on finite rank buildings with measurable stabilise...
Grundy functions have found many applications in a wide variety of games, in solving relevant problems in Game Theory. Many authors have been working on this topic for over many years. Since the existence of a Grundy function on a digraph implies tha...

Coupled Ising models are studied in a discrete choice theory framework, where they can be understood to represent interdependent choice making processes for homogeneous populations under social influence. Two different coupling schemes are considered...
The theory of General Relativity deals with very accurate measurements that show significant divergences from Newtonian predictions only with speeds near to the velocity of light. An introduction for educational purposes, based on naked eye photometr...
