Theory Of Gravity

One central feature of Newton’s methodology is the use of theory-mediated measurements to make empirical phenomena carry information about causal dependencies. Accurate measurements of theoretical parameters by phenomena is a conception of empirical success that goes beyond the restriction of empirical success to accurate prediction of phenomena in the hypothetico-deductive model of scientific inference. This is informed by Newton’s account of provisional acceptance of propositions gathered from phenomena in his Fourth Rule of reasoning. Another feature is to follow up the discovery of forces of nature by applying those forces to additional phenomena. This is illustrated by the sequence of refinements of the model for solar system motions as more and more dependencies corresponding to Newtonian interactions were taken into account. Given that his theory would recover these Newtonian causal dependencies, Einstein’s Mercury perihelion result made his theory of gravity more empirically successful than Newton’s.

ABSTRACTFiduciary agreements by notarial deed are not sufficient, but should be continued with fiduciary registrants. Fiduciary agreements set forth in notarial deeds without registration do not grant preferential rights to fiduciary recipients. Whereas the objective of Law Number 42 Year 1999 is basically to provide legal protection for creditors from losses caused by default from debtor. From this, the authors in this thesis take the title "Consequences of Fiduciary Guaranty Laws Not Registered According to Law Number 42 Year 1999." With the scope of the issues covered include: (1) How the procedure or implementation of credit with fiduciary guarantee in Indonesia; (2) What are the constraints and solutions in the implementation of credit with fiduciary guarantee in Indonesia, and (3) What are the consequences of fiduciary guarantee law enlisted under Law No. 42 of 1999.To obtain the results of research from these problems, the authors use the scientific method with an approach that is juridical empirical and normatiif. Empirically that is researching secondary data first and then continued by conducting research of primary data in field. The jurisdiction is to study the rules that exist with the problem in the perusal.Furthermore, from the results of the research can obtain the understanding that the first, that the credit agreement made by debtors and creditors is the principal agreement that refers to the general principles of the agreement, while the imposition of fiduciary collateral meruapakan follow-up agreement or accesoir, which registers it has been regulated by Law No. 42 of 1999 , And set further through Government Regulation No. 21 of 2015; Second, the registration of fiduciary security is a creditor's obligation, but sometimes the creditor does not register it, for cost reasons or because the treaty deed is made under the hand. Therefore, the right of the fiduciary guarantee certificate is categorized as a treaty under the hand. Therefore, the solution taken by the creditors can make the settlement by deliberation or applying through the judiciary. Third, Fiduciary Guarantees must be made by the Deed of Natariil (Notarial Deed) and registered to the Office of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, in order to have executorial power, in addition, the creditor will obtain the preferred right. If fiduciary warranties are not made under the hands and are not registered in accordance with legislative provisions, they have no executorial force, and the right of preference and may become void (vernitigbarheid).Whereas to further realize the main principle of Fiduciary Guarantee provides legal protection for the parties, it is necessary to revise the regulation of fiduciary guarantee in legislation in order to give more legal certainty.Keywords: Fiduciary Security, Registration Procedures, and Legal EffectsABSTRACT Fiduciary agreements by notarial deed are not sufficient, but should be continued with fiduciary registrants.

AbstractAn increasing number of sky surveys is already on-line or soon will be, leading to a large boost in the detection of Solar System objects of all types. For Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that could potentially hit the Earth, timely follow-up is essential. I describe the development of an automated system which responds to new detections of NEOs from Pan-STARRS and automatically observes them with the LCOGT telescopes. I present results from the first few months of operation, and plans for the future with the 6-site, 40-telescope global LCOGT Network.

Community adjustment of former psychiatric patients has been found to relate highly to the likelihood of rehospitalization and community tenure. The present study examined the ability of a community adjustment scale and various other patient characteristics to predict rehospitalization. Multiple regression analysis using rehospitalization as the dependent variable identified thirteen items including twelve from the community adjustment scale, which combined to provide a highly accurate prediction. The brief scale (13 items) which is now being cross-validated is potentially a useful tool for clinical evaluation and planning of follow-up services to former patients.

There appears to be general agreement that interaction with significant challenge should be a central feature of the development pathways for future high performers. There is, however, far less clarity about how such programs should be designed and delivered against core psychological principles. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to offer guidelines for talent development practitioners seeking to offer athletes the opportunity to maximize their growth and development. The authors propose that genuinely developmental experiences will likely offer a level of emotional disturbance and, as a result, more fully engage performers, prompting self and other facilitated reflection, and motivate future action. Furthermore, there is a necessity for these experiences and their follow-up, to be managed in a coherent manner and integrated with existing skills, experience, and future performance aims. In highlighting these issues, the authors offer recommendations for talent development coaches, managers, psychologists, and parents of athletes.

ABSTRACT The chance discovery of the first interstellar minor body, 1I/2017 U1 (‘Oumuamua), indicates that we may have been visited by such objects in the past and that these events may repeat in the future. Unfortunately, minor bodies following nearly parabolic or hyperbolic paths tend to receive little attention: over 3/4 of those known have data-arcs shorter than 30 d and, consistently, rather uncertain orbit determinations. This fact suggests that we may have observed interstellar interlopers in the past, but failed to recognize them as such due to insufficient data. Early identification of promising candidates by using N-body simulations may help in improving this situation, triggering follow-up observations before they leave the Solar system. Here, we use this technique to investigate the pre- and post-perihelion dynamical evolution of the slightly hyperbolic comet C/2018 V1 (Machholz–Fujikawa–Iwamoto) to understand its origin and relevance within the context of known parabolic and hyperbolic minor bodies. Based on the available data, our calculations suggest that although C/2018 V1 may be a former member of the Oort Cloud, an origin beyond the Solar system cannot be excluded. If extrasolar, it might have entered the Solar system from interstellar space at low relative velocity with respect to the Sun. The practical feasibility of this alternative scenario has been assessed within the kinematic context of the stellar neighbourhood of the Sun, using data from Gaia second data release, and two robust solar sibling candidates have been identified. Our results suggest that comets coming from interstellar space at low heliocentric velocities may not be rare.

AbstractWe study the motion of particles in the background of a scalar–tensor theory of gravity in which the scalar field is kinetically coupled to the Einstein tensor. We constrain the value of the derivative parameter z through solar system tests. By considering the perihelion precession we obtain the constraint $$\sqrt{z}/m_{\mathrm{p}} > 2.6\times 10^{12}$$ z / m p > 2.6 × 10 12  m, the gravitational redshift $$\frac{\sqrt{z}}{m_{\mathrm{p}}}>2.7\times 10^{\,10}$$ z m p > 2.7 × 10 10  m, the deflection of light $$\sqrt{z}/m_{\mathrm{p}} > 1.6 \times 10^{11}$$ z / m p > 1.6 × 10 11  m, and the gravitational time delay $$\sqrt{z}/m_{\mathrm{p}} > 7.9 \times 10^{12}$$ z / m p > 7.9 × 10 12  m; thereby, our results show that it is possible to constrain the value of the z parameter in agreement with the observational tests that have been considered.

The level of mechanistic understanding required for drug discovery is a central feature of most strategies. However, an understanding of mechanism is not required for regulatory approval. This paradox is particularly relevant to the role of phenotypic assays in drug discovery. A recent analysis revealed that phenotypic drug discovery strategies were more successful for first-in-class medicines, whereas target-based molecular strategies were more successful for followers ( Nat. Rev. Drug Discov.2011, 10, 507–519). The rationale for the success of phenotypic screening was the unbiased identification of the molecular mechanism of action. In this follow-up analysis, the format and mechanistic information used to establish the phenotypic assays that led to the first-in-class small-molecule new molecular entities approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration between 1999 and 2008 were analyzed and compared with those approved in 2012. Not surprisingly, some level of mechanistic understanding was used to select the assay formats and chemicals screened. It is concluded that mechanism takes on different connotations depending on context and perspective and that a target need not always be the exclusive definition of mechanism.

AbstractThe physical nature such as orbital distribution of asteroids is fundamental to understanding how our solar system has been evolved. The connection between Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and Earth impactors such as meteorites and fireballs are still under debate, since there is no meteorite orbit whose parent NEO was identified. The orbital distribution of NEOs has been investigated by comprehensive sky surveys including Pan-STARRS (The Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System). Here we focus on the Phaethon-Gemind complex detected by Pan-STARRS PS1 Prototype Telescope and our follow-up lightcurve observations.

We discuss the motivation for high accuracy relativistic gravitational experiments in the solar system and complementary cosmological tests. We focus our attention on the issue of distinguishing a generic scalar theory of gravity as the underlying physical theory from the usual general-relativistic picture, where one expects the presence of fundamental scalar fields associated, for instance, with inflation, dark matter and dark energy.
