On Skolemization in constructive theories [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper a method for the replacement, in formulas, of strong quantifiers by functions is introduced that can be considered as an alternative to Skolemization in the setting of constructive theories. A constructive extension of intuitionistic predicate logic that captures the notions of preorder and existence is introduced and the method ...

Constructive Theory of Ordinals
In Chapter 3 of his Notes on constructive mathematics, Martin-L{ö}f describes recursively constructed ordinals. He gives a constructively acceptable version of Kleene's computable ordinals. In fact, the Turing definition of computable functions is not needed from a constructive point of view. We give in this paper a constructive theory of ordinals that

Improving Thermal Performance of Rectangular Microchannel Heat Sinks using Porous Layer: CFD Simulation and Optimization [PDF]
Microchannel heat sinks are very widely used due to their high heat transfer coefficients and low refrigerant requirements. Nevertheless, microchannel heat sinks still perform sub-optimally when it comes to thermal performance.

Multi-Objective Constructal Optimization for Marine Condensers
A marine condenser with exhausted steam as the working fluid is researched in this paper. Constructal designs of the condenser are numerically conducted based on single and multi-objective optimizations, respectively. In the single objective optimization,

Constructive theory of Banach algebras [PDF]
We present a way to organize a constructive development of the theory of Banach algebras, inspired by works of Cohen, de Bruijn and Bishop. We illustrate this by giving elementary proofs of Wiener's result on the inverse of Fourier series and Wiener's Tauberian Theorem, in a sequel to this paper we show how this can be used in a localic, or point-free,
