Almanac of the Bible. 1 There is also a roster of "specially named editions" included under "Bible" in The Wordsworth Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. 2 Having checked various sources and information circulated on the internet, I can now provide Jewish Bible Quarterly readers with a more comprehensive list of Bible curiosities and mistranslations. An archaism, a misspelled word, or a hilarious printer's error can turn one of these Bibles into a collector's item. They are arranged in chronological order.

La rÃ©gulation du rÃ©seau Internet

January 2006

Philippe Barbet

Le réseau Internet se présente comme un « réseau de réseaux » dont l’infrastructure physique s’est construite, à partir du réseau historique des Etats-Unis, par l’interconnexion de nouveaux réseaux. Ces réseaux sont de taille différente (en terme de taille et de débit) et l’architecture générale de l’Internet est donc très hiérarchisée. Pour que les informations puissent circuler sur l’ensemble ... [Show full abstract] du réseau, il existe des points physiques d’interconnexion qui structurent l’architecture de ce réseau. Au niveau économique, les relations commerciales entre propriétaires de réseaux sont également organisées de manière hiérarchique et ces relations seront présentées dans un premier temps. En outre, le bon fonctionnement du réseau nécessite l’identification de chaque intervenant et celle ci passe par un adressage précis. Les modalités de gestion de ces adresses, appelées « noms de domaine », sont très particulières. Elles sont en grande partie un produit de l’histoire mais nous montrerons, dans un second temps, que le succès même de l’Internet fragilise ce modèle.

A Method for Determining Scale Parameters in a Hemodynamic model incorporating Cardiac Cellular Cont...

March 2016 · Advanced Biomedical Engineering

Scale parameters are used to combine two or more models in different scales into one integrative model. One of the crucial issues in the research field of biosimulation in hemodynamics is how to determine the scale parameters in comprehensive hemodynamic models comprising a cardiac cellular contraction model and a circulation model. In this report, we propose a method for determining the scale ... [Show full abstract] parameters using mathematical equations derived from the shape of the left ventricle (LV), which is assumed to be a hemisphere. In this method, we derived five equations with seven unknown scale parameters. By using measured values of hemodynamic parameters such as the end-systolic and end-diastolic pressures and LV volume, we successfully determined seven scale parameters to reproduce pathological data of progressive hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. From the results, we found that accompanying the progression of hypertension, the active contraction force at end-diastole first increase by 54%, followed by 93% increase of the passive elastic force. We also successfully reproduced normal human physiological hemodynamics.

Flow instabilities in the wide-gap spherical Couette system

January 2014 · Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Johannes Wicht

The spherical Couette system is a spherical shell filled with a viscous fluid. Flows are driven by the differential rotation between the inner and the outer boundary that rotate with Omega and Omega + Delta Omega about a common axis. This setup has been proposed for second-generation dynamo experiments. We numerically explore the different instabilities emerging for rotation rates up to Omega = ... [Show full abstract] (1/3) x 10(7), venturing also into the nonlinear regime where oscillatory and chaotic solutions are found. The results provide a comprehensive overview of the possible flow regimes. For low values of Omega viscosity dominates and an equatorial jet in meridional circulation and zonal flow develops that becomes unstable as the differential rotation is increased beyond a critical value. For intermediate Omega and an inner boundary rotating slower than the outer one, new double-roll and helical instabilities are found. For large Omega values Coriolis effects enforce a nearly two-dimensional fundamental flow where a Stewartson shear layer develops at the tangent cylinder. This shear layer is the source of nearly geostrophic non-axisymmetric instabilities that resemble columnar Rossby modes. At first, the instabilities differ significantly depending on whether the inner boundary rotates faster (Delta Omega > 0) or slower (Delta Omega < 0) than the outer one. For very large outer boundary rotation rates, however, both instabilities once more become comparable. Fast inertial waves similar to those observed in recent spherical Couette experiments prevail for larger Omega values and Delta Omega < 0 in when Delta Omega and Omega are of comparable magnitude. For larger differential rotations Delta Omega >> Omega, however, the equatorial jet instability always takes over.

Time: a key concept of Economics

January 2019

Valentino Piana

A new conceptualization and formalization of "time", key for a modern evolutionary economics theory and beyond. It re-frame forecasting, expectations and model building. Main parts of this paper are the following: 1. Basic distinction between logical and chronometric time, operations on logical time, and measurements 2. Applications to economic fields 3. How this conceptualization of time differs ... [Show full abstract] from current economics 4. The subjective point of view of the protagonists of the stories 5. How to embed this concept of time into formal models 6. Final remarks about its use in evolutionary economics. Available at http://www.economicswebinstitute.org/glossary/time.htm This paper presents a conceptualisation of time and of time structures which is very general but also particularly suitable for the new paradigm in economics and management to which EWI is devoted. We shall distinguish a logical time (hingering on time phases) from a chronometric time (where the measurement of time is of central importance). A sample of application of the concepts to key areas of economic and managerial research (including consumer choice, business cycles, the diffusion of innovations, long-term shifts of the centre of the world) is enlisted. Some remarks on how this vision differs from the neoclassical and econometric ones and on how it can enrich evolutionary economics are briefly sketched. Then we leave the assumption of an external omniscent observer (of actions taking place over time) to explicitly consider the subjective point of view of one of the actors. Next, we enter into the modelling domain, showing how simulations over time generate time structures in which the present is subject to "the burden of the past" and "the tension towards the future". At that point we shall emphasise that this conception of time is particularly fruitful in a perspective of evolutionary economics. Keywords: time, logical time, phase, period, operation, chronological time, granularity.

Sensitivity studies of a simple inverse method applied to the Cox and Bryan model

January 1986 · Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres

Grant R Bigg

The inverse method of Wunsch (1978) for determining steady state ocean circulation patterns is examined using a numerical model as the source of both data and observations. A simple, but commonly used, formulation of the technique is tested. The studies carried out have relevance to other descriptions, as they focus on features common to all formulations. The theme of the paper is a study of ... [Show full abstract] present methods rather than a comprehensive survey of parameter space. It is found that an optimizing principle of least perturbation from an initial velocity field can produce flows that are highly correlated with the observed fields. This is when station spacing is of the order of 1°-2° and the number of layers is not greater than the number of vertical observations. Allowing flow through all faces of the boxes gives significantly more realistic velocities than merely having horizontal flow. However, three major problems arise with the box method. These are the inability to handle significant shears with moderate sampling, the lack of a uniformly successful way to decide on an initial state, and the necessity of using boxes of limited size. In particular, when the method uses boxes straddling an entire basin, the results are poor.

The 43rd International Mathematical Olympiad: a reflective report on IMO 2002

September 2002

Tom Verhoeff

This report describes my experiences as an observer at the 43rd Inter-national Mathematical Olympiad, accompanying the Dutch team leader. It gives a chronological overview of the IMO 2002 events, interspersed with personal musings. It is addressed at those interested in the IMO, but should also prove useful to members of other olympiad communities. My main motivation for writing this report is ... [Show full abstract] that I have never encoun-tered a publication that presents the many details that make up an IMO. There exist various published collections of IMO problems and solutions. But these do not explain how the problems are selected, how the work of the contes-tants is marked, and what else happens at an IMO. In this report, I have tried to capture the spirit of the IMO, especially as it is experienced from the point of view of a delegation leader. The IMO 2002 problem set, selected solutions, some statistics, and a glossary of IMO terms are included at the end. The PDF version of this report contains hyperlinks, both internally and to the web.
