Empathy, honesty, and integrity are essential concepts to ensure the quality of the therapy relationship and the client’s trust in the therapist. This chapter situates these concepts in relation to the necessary and sufficient conditions for therapy proposed by Carl Rogers in the late 1950s, and particularly in relation to the therapist attitudes of empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. In person-centered therapy (PCT), empathy is a moral, not instrumental, practice that nondirectively protects the self-determination of the client. It exemplifies power with others, avoiding power over others, and facilitating power from within, by providing a conduit for non-possessive love, the active ingredient in PCT. Honesty in PCT involves the sincerity of the therapist’s unconditional empathy and the transparence to be a full person in relation to a client. Integrity refers not only to the disciplined moral practice of empathy, but an extensional, fully functioning maturation.

Technologically, ultrajet mesodiagnostics (UJM) consists of local hydroerosive indentation by ultrajets (UJ) of water on the surface of the analyzed object (OA) and the subsequent study of the results of this minimally invasive microdestructive effect on its surface layer. Obviously, mathematical models’ construction of the functional relationship between the informative-physical signs of hydroerosive UJ destruction and the surface layer’s state parameters of various OA, primarily their defectiveness, is very important for the development of this potentially promising technology for ensuring the quality of critical products, mainly aviation and other industries. In this regard, the work proposes a probabilistic UJM model, which consists of analyzing the kinetics of the formation of an aggregate set of eroded particles, as a process caused by a combination of appropriate necessary and sufficient conditions for its implementation. The former include the topographic features of the microdefectiveness’ characteristics of the surface layer material, and the latter consist of a certain variational-force hydrodynamic effect of the diagnostic UJ on it. This approach made it possible to obtain calculated data related to probabilistic distribution of the UJ-eroded particles’ sizes of hypothetical OA, as a coordinate function describing the microdefects’ concentration in its surface layer. These functions are close to the available results of experimental UJM of typical and promising materials used in the manufacture of machinery technology.

Abstract The problem of existence and determination of the set of positive asymptotically stable realizations of a proper transfer function of linear discrete-time systems is formulated and solved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of the set of the realizations are established. A procedure for computation of the set of realizations are proposed and illustrated by numerical examples.

Throughout this paper the ring R and the semigroup S are commutative with identity; moreover, it is assumed that S is cancellative, i.e., that S can be embedded in a group. The aim of this note is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions on R and S that the semigroup ring R[S] should be one of the following types of rings: principal ideal ring (PIR), ZPI-ring, Bezout, semihereditary or arithmetical. These results shed some light on the structure of semigroup rings and provide a source of examples of the rings listed above. They also play a key role in the determination of all commutative reduced arithmetical semigroup rings (without the cancellative hypothesis on S) which will appear in a forthcoming paper by Leo Chouinard and the authors [4].

Let K be a subset of BV(0, 1)—the space of functions of bounded variation on the closed interval [0, 1]. By the Hausdorff moment problem for K we shall mean the determination of necessary and sufficient conditions that corresponding to a given sequence μ = {μn|n = 0, 1, 2, …} there should be a function α ∈ K so that(1)For various collections K this problem has been solved—see (3, Chapter III)By the trigonometric moment problem for K we shall mean the determination of necessary and sufficient conditions that corresponding to a sequence c = {cn|n = 0, ± 1, ± 2, …} there should be a function α ∈ K so that(2)For various collections K this problem has also been solved—see, for example (4, Chapter IV, § 4). It is noteworthy that these two problems have been solved for essentially the same collections K.

Necessary and sufficient conditions are formulated for determining the mass of Jupiter from large perturbations induced in cometary orbits in the sphere of action of Jupiter. A procedure for the investigation has been developed and programmed for an electronic computer. Comparison of heliocentric and jovicentric computations shows that the perturbations on P/Wolf could be determined with great accuracy when this comet passed through Jupiter's sphere of action in 1922. The first attempt has been made to determine the mass of Jupiter using this passage and the observations of the comet in 1925. The resulting value for the reciprocal mass is 1047.345.

Several problems are considered in the theory of first-passage percolation on the two-dimensional integer lattice. The results include: (i) necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of moments of first-passage times; (ii) determination of an upper bound for the time constant; (iii) an initial result concerning the maximum height of routes for first-passage times; (iv) ergodic theorems for a class of reach processes.

The most fundamental, and perhaps most important, task in the tolerance analysis of assemblies is to test whether or not the components with tolerances are actually able to fit together (called assembleability). Another important task of tolerance analysis is to check how the tolerances affect the quality or functionality of a product when they are assembled together. This paper presents the way the tolerance analyses are implemented by an assembly model, called the GapSpace model. The model can not only capture the necessary and sufficient conditions for assembleability analysis, but also transfers the functionality into the modeling variables (gaps). The assembleability analyses based on the GapSpace model for nominal components and those with worst case or statistical tolerances are introduced through an example. The problems of testing the quality of assemblies and calculating sensitivities are solved quickly and precisely using the model. The GapSpace model is more suitable for certain GD&T tolerancing methods than for parametric plus/minus tolerancing.
