Context Manipulation

In this paper we demonstrate that a broad class of higher-order functional programs can be transformed into semantically equivalent multidimensional intensional programs that contain only nullary variable definitions. The proposed algorithm systematically eliminates user-defined functions from the source program, by appropriately introducing context manipulation (i.e. intensional) operators. The transformation takes place in M steps, where M is the order of the initial functional program. During each step the order of the program is reduced by one, and the final outcome of the algorithm is an M-dimensional intensional program of order zero. As the resulting intensional code can be executed in a purely tagged-dataflow way, the proposed approach offers a promising new technique for the implementation of higher-order functional languages.

Static balancing is a well-known technique in mechanism synthesis to achieve equilibrium throughout the range of motion, for instance to eliminate gravity from the equations of motion. Another application of static balancing is in spring-to-spring balancing where the influence of n springs on the mechanism behavior (e.g. input torque) are balanced by m other springs (n and m both non-zero positive integers). In this category of balanced mechanism, design methodology and examples exist based on zero-free-length springs, i.e. linear extension springs in which the force is proportional to the length of the spring, rather than to its elongation. The present paper will present for the first time the design of perfect spring-to-spring balancers with higher-order zero-free-length springs, i.e. springs in which the force is proportional to a (positive integer) power of its length. A general approach will be given together with four new mechanisms incorporating springs ranging from two third-order springs in the simplest example, to four equal thirteenth order springs plus one first order spring in the most complex example.

Recently, direct methods that involve higher derivatives to numerically approximate higher order initial value problems (IVPs) have been explored, which aim to construct numerical methods with higher order and very high precision of the solutions. This article aims to construct a fourth and fifth derivative, three-point implicit block method to tackle general third-order ordinary differential equations directly. As a consequence of the increase in order acquired via the implicit block method of higher derivatives, a significant improvement in efficiency has been observed. The new method is derived in a block mode to simultaneously evaluate the approximations at three points. The derivation of the new method can be easily implemented. We established the proposed method’s characteristics, including order, zero-stability, and convergence. Numerical experiments are used to confirm the superiority of the method. Applications to problems in physics and engineering are given to assess the significance of the method.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Lead Stearate

Among the ultra-light elements B, C, N, and O nitrogen is the most difficult element to deal with in the electron probe microanalyzer. This is mainly caused by the severe absorption that N-Kα radiation suffers in carbon which is abundantly present in the detection system (lead-stearate crystal, carbonaceous counter window). As a result the peak-to-background ratios for N-Kα measured with a conventional lead-stearate crystal can attain values well below unity in many binary nitrides . An additional complication can be caused by the presence of interfering higher-order reflections from the metal partner in the nitride specimen; notorious examples are elements such as Zr and Nb. In nitrides containing these elements is is virtually impossible to carry out an accurate background subtraction which becomes increasingly important with lower and lower peak-to-background ratios. The use of a synthetic multilayer crystal such as W/Si (2d-spacing 59.8 Å) can bring significant improvements in terms of both higher peak count rates as well as a strong suppression of higher-order reflections.

The importance of image simulation in interpreting experimental lattice images is well established. Normally, in carrying out the required theoretical calculations, only zero order Laue zone reflections are taken into account. In this paper we assess the conditions for which this procedure is valid and indicate circumstances in which higher order Laue zone reflections may be important. Our work is based on an analysis of the requirements for obtaining structure images i.e. images directly related to the projected potential. In the considerations to follow, the Bloch wave formulation of the dynamical theory has been used.The intensity in a lattice image can be obtained from the total wave function at the image plane is given by: where ϕg(z) is the diffracted beam amplitide given by In these equations,the z direction is perpendicular to the entrance surface, g is a reciprocal lattice vector, the Cg(i) are Fourier coefficients in the expression for a Bloch wave, b(i), X(i) is the Bloch wave excitation coefficient, ϒ(i)=k(i)-K, k(i) is a Bloch wave vector, K is the electron wave vector after correction for the mean inner potential of the crystal, T(q) and D(q) are the transfer function and damping function respectively, q is a scattering vector and the summation is over i=l,N where N is the number of beams taken into account.

It is well known that conventional atomic resolution electron microscopy is a coherent imaging process best interpreted in reciprocal space using contrast transfer function theory. This is because the equivalent real space interpretation involving a convolution between the exit face wave function and the instrumental response is difficult to visualize. Furthermore, the crystal wave function is not simply related to the projected crystal potential, except under a very restrictive set of experimental conditions, making image simulation an essential part of image interpretation. In this paper we present a different conceptual approach to the atomic imaging of crystals based on incoherent imaging theory. Using a real-space analysis of electron scattering to a high-angle annular detector, it is shown how the STEM imaging process can be partitioned into components parallel and perpendicular to the relevant low index zone-axis.It has become customary to describe STEM imaging using the analytical treatment developed by Cowley. However, the convenient assumption of a phase object (which neglects the curvature of the Ewald sphere) fails rapidly for large scattering angles, even in very thin crystals. Thus, to avoid unpredictive numerical solutions, it would seem more appropriate to apply pseudo-kinematic theory to the treatment of the weak high angle signal. Diffraction to medium order zero-layer reflections is most important compared with thermal diffuse scattering in very thin crystals (<5nm). The electron wave function ψ(R,z) at a depth z and transverse coordinate R due to a phase aberrated surface probe function P(R-RO) located at RO is then well described by the channeling approximation;
