Quantum Field Theory Under the Influence of External Conditions (QFEXT09), 2010 We consider semitransparent pistons in the presence of extra dimensions. It is shown that the piston is always attracted to the closest wall irrespective of details of the geometry and topology of the extra dimensions and of the cross section of the piston. Furthermore, we evaluate the zeta regularized determinant for this configuration.

Clear as black and white: the effects of ambiguous rhetoric depend on candidate race [PDF]
, 2018 Campaign advisors and political scientists have long acknowledged the benefits of ambiguous position taking. We argue, however, that these benefits do not extend to black candidates facing nonblack voters.

Design Sensitivity Studies on a Hydroacoustic Projector Using an Experimentally Validated Easy-to-Build Model [PDF]
Archives of Acoustics, 2022 Hydroacoustic projectors are useful for generating low frequency sounds in water. Existing works on hydroacoustic projectors require two significant enhancements, especially for designers. First, we need to understand the influence of important projector

An absolute continuity for positive operators on Banach lattices
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1991 For positive operators on a Banach lattice, absolute contnuity conditions are considered. An operator absolutely continuous with respect to T is compared to sums of compositions of T together with orthomorphisms or in special cases projections ...

Conventional methods of piston surface treatment for IC engines
Zaštita Materijala, 2014 This paper provides an overview of conventional methods of piston surface treatment for IC engines. One of the most stressed parts of IC engine is the cylinder assembly, i.e., the piston as a component of this assembly.
