Abstract:

Recognized as one of the most beautiful experiments of all time, the oil drop experiment performed by Robert Millikan and his graduate students (primarily Harvey Fletcher) is a standard in the repertoire of experiments performed by undergraduate physics students. However, “as a teaching lab it does not enjoy a good reputation for three reasons: eyestrain, tedium, and poor, unconvincing results.” Several have attempted to make this experiment more student-friendly by improving the optics and replacing the stopwatch with a computer, replacing the eye with a video camera, and utilizing video anal

The article focuses on the work of Harold Wilson, Robert Millikan and his students, in particular, Louis Begeman and Harvey Fletcher on determining the magnitude of an elementary electric charge. Attention is drawn to the priority of authorship in the publications of R. Millikan and H. Fletcher based on the results of joint research. A controversy was noted around the results of Millikan’s experiments to determine the electric charge of an electron. The situation with R.

Abstract:

This thesis is a quest to identify the factors that influence social capital in one spatially isolated, multi-ethnic neighborhood, Kungsmarken. The commonly held view that many Modernist-style housing estates have evolved into dead-end areas that breed social ills and require endless outside assistance (Jane Jacobs), does not contain the whole truth. A fraction of this complex problem will be tackled in this thesis. The study case of Kungsmarken in Karlskrona, Sweden, is studied to better understand the links between an area’s physical structure, demographics, socio-cultural trends, economy, a

Abstract:

Today’s buildings are responsible for 40% of the world’s energy use and also a substantial share of the Global Warming Potential (GWP). In Sweden, about 21% of the energy use can be related to the heat losses through the climatic envelope. The “Million Program” (Swedish: Miljonprogrammet) is a common name for about one million housing units, erected between 1965 and 1974 and many of these buildings suffer from poor energy performance. An important aim of this study was to access the possibilities of using Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) in buildings with emphasis on the use of VIPs for improvi

Abstract:

AbstractArgument mining usually operates on short, decontextualized argumentative units such as main and subordinate clauses, or full sentences as proxies for arguments. Argumentation in digital media environments, however, is embedded in larger contexts. Especially on social media platforms, argumentation unfolds in dialog threads or tree structures where users interact with each other. To reveal patterns of such interactions, we transform 2.5 million tweets from 38k German Twitter conversations concerning nuclear energy from 2017, 2019, and 2021 into an abstract representation encoding their

We measure sensitivity in terms of partial derivatives with respect to the uncertain transition probabilities regarding measures such as the expected reward. As our main contribution, we present an efficient method to compute these partial derivatives. To scale our approach to models with thousands of parameters, we present an extension of t

This demands the need for systems that could identify the potential of imminent landslides and disseminate the information related to landslide initiation in real-time. This would provide the opportunity to save lives. However, globally the research on reliable end-to-end systems for early warning of lands

Abstract Applications to biological systems of Robert Cummins’s notion of ‘function’ from his classic paper ‘Functional Analysis’ (Cummins 1975) and of my notion ‘proper function’ from Language, Thought and Other Biological Categories (LTOBC) (Millikan 1984) are discussed and compared. Neither notion is fully determinate in its application to life forms, always cutting decisively between ‘functions’ of the designated kind and ‘mere effects’. Nor do we need a notion of function in biology that is fully deter-minate in this way. The dimensions of indeterminacy for both concepts are explored.

Abstract:

Abstract Understanding corrosion inhibitor deliverability is a significant component of a robust corrosion inhibitor (CI) management program. Many oil and gas companies require measurement of the residual CI concentration downstream of the injection point. Four significant components of a robust corrosion management program are 1) residual measurements down stream of injection, 2) tank level monitoring, 3) corrosion rate monitoring with techniques such as electrical resistance (ER) probes, linear polarization resistance (LPR) probes, and weight loss coupons, and 4) monitoring for microbial gro

Childhood underweight is a consistent public health problem globally. About 12.6 per cent of the total under-five children (85.4 million) were underweight in 2020, while half of the underweight burden (42 million) belonged to the Southeast Asian Region. Being underweight is one of the major risk factors for early neonatal mortality and morbidity in many developing countries. Although the global trend of underweight children has decreased over time, such progress is not uniformly distributed among resource-poor settings.
