There is the problem of the infinite regress of meaning. To define a concept, another concept is required, and that definition in turn calls for yet another. Where does this chain terminate? The ...

Abstract: A noninvasive ultra-wide band (UWB) partial discharge technique was employed in high capacity motors diagnosis. Those motors are installed and operating in an oil pumping plant. The ...

Elastic full waveform inversion (EFWI) is a powerful technique. However, its strong non-linearity makes it susceptible to converging towards local extremes during the iterative process due to various ...

In 1852 mathematician Francis Guthrie asked a seemingly simple question that triggered endless dispute, left a trail of overturned publications in its wake and culminated in a resolution that has ...

In this tutorial, we will study the ripple phenomenon of a rectifier with a capacitive filter, and simulate the envelope detector of an amplitude-modulated signal. Considering the circuit shown in ...

Nuclear envelope proteins play an important role in the pathogenesis of hereditary cardiomyopathies. Recently, a new form of arrhythmic cardiomyopathy caused by a homozygous mutation (p.L13R) in the ...

Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it ...

This article discusses a limiting behavior of breather solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. These breathers belong to the family of solitons on a non-vanishing and constant ...

On November 26, 1949, Albert Einstein published an essay in the Saturday Review of Literature in which he described two pivotal moments in his childhood. The first involved a compass that his father ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
