The classical problem of the deflection of a cantilever beam of linear elastic material, under the action of an external vertical concentrated load at the free end, is analysed. We present the differential equation governing the behaviour of this physical…

This thesis examines the claims of Jeffrey Timm and James Buchanan that the field of Comparative Philosophy is moving in a postmodern direction. I examine their conception of the postmodern and compare to both the most influential views of postmodernism…

El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de algunos problemas diofánticos. Unos relacionados con ternas pitagóricas, y otros con funciones aritméticas.
En concreto se empieza, en el capítulo 1, por dos breves notas históricas sobre la aritmética de Diofanto…

El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es la fundamentación de técnicas de simulación y modelos hidrodinámicos adecuados para la simulación de fluidos simples y complejos a escala mesoscópica. El problema general de los fluidos complejos, desde el punto de…

Este trabalho teve por objetivo desenvolver novas formulações de snacks de terceira geração por extrusão termoplástica de misturas de farinhas de pupunha e mandioca e averiguar o potencial do novo produto. A farinha de pupunha foi incorporada à farinha de…

The genus Bradyrhizobium encompasses a variety of bacteria that can live in symbiotic and endophytic associations with legumes and non-legumes, and are characterized by physiological and symbiotic versatility and broad geographical distribution. However, despite indications of great genetic variability within…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. Using Kogelnik's coupled-wave theory we shall obtain information about the…

Scottish Geographical Journal is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t759156372, Formal narratives of history, especially that of colonial oppression, have been central to the construction of national…

We present three ways of treating the problem of fluid flow in a hollow cylinder. One method involves a differential equation, and the other two involve more physical insight. We discuss the relative advantages of each method., The following article…

Cables are one of the common structures studied in a first-year engineering mechanics course (statics), since the flexible cable is one of the usual methods of supporting loads. For example, the suspension bridge has been used for many centuries and…
