Physical Basis for a Constant Lag Time [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 We show that the constant time lag prescription for tidal dissipation follows directly from the equations of motion of a tidally-forced viscous fluid body, given some basic assumptions. They are (i) dissipation results from a viscous force that is proportional to the velocity of the tidal flow (ii) tidal forcing and dissipation are weak and non ...

Relationship Between Thermal Tides and Radius Excess [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Close-in extrasolar gas giants -- the hot Jupiters -- display departures in radius above the zero-temperature solution, the radius excess, that are anomalously high. The radius excess of hot Jupiters follows a relatively close relation with thermal tidal tidal torques and holds for ~ 4-5 orders of magnitude in a characteristic thermal tidal power in ...

Causa Efficiens versus Causa Formalis: origens da discussão moderna sobre a dimensionalidade do espaço [PDF]
Cadernos de Hist\'oria e Filosofia da Ci\^encia (UNICAMP), v. 4,
n. 2, p. 43-64, 1994, 2015 Metascientific criteria used for explaining or constraining physical space dimensionality and their historical relationship to prevailing causal systems are discussed. The important contributions by Aristotle, Kant and Ehrenfest to the dimensionality of space problem are considered and shown to be grounded on different causal explanations: {\it causa ...
