Young Planetary Nebulae: Hubble Space Telescope Imaging and a New Morphological Classification System

open access: yes, 2011
Using Hubble Space Telescope images of 119 young planetary nebulae, most of which have not previously been published, we have devised a comprehensive morphological classification system for these objects. This system generalizes a recently devised system

Concrete breakout strength prediction of anchors in Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete based on material test datasets

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of steel fiber‐reinforced concrete (SFRC) has seen a significant rise in the construction industry due to advancements in material science, improved quality, and cost efficiency. Similarly, the importance of fastening systems in construction has grown, necessitating robust research on the performance of fasteners in SFRC to ensure safe

The Recurrence Rate and Hausdorff Dimension of a Neighbourhood of some Typical Point in the Julia Set of a Rational Map [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this article, we consider hyperbolic rational maps restricted on thier Julia sets and study about the recurrence rate of typical orbits in arbitrarily small neighbourhoods around them and their relationship to the Hausdorff dimension of such small ...

The Old Regime (of Mutualisation) and the Revolution (of Big Data)

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In his classic work L'ancien régime et la révolution, Alexis de Tocqueville proposes a reinterpretation of the French Revolution: behind the spectacular ruptures associated with the event, profound continuities are at play. Beyond the specific case of the French Revolution, Tocqueville calls for vigilance in mobilizing the notion of revolution

Quantum phases of a qutrit

open access: yes, 2003
We consider various approaches to treat the phases of a qutrit. Although it is possible to represent qutrits in a convenient geometrical manner by resorting to a generalization of the Poincare sphere, we argue that the appropriate way of dealing with ...
