Understanding with Theoretical Models [PDF]
This paper discusses the epistemic import of highly abstract and simplified theoretical models using Thomas Schelling’s checkerboard model as an example. We argue that the epistemic contribution of theoretical models can be better understood in the context of a cluster of models relevant to the explanatory task at hand.

Theoretical modeling for the stereo mission [PDF]
We summarize the theory and modeling efforts for the STEREO mission, which will be used to interpret the data of both the remote-sensing (SECCHI, SWAVES) and in-situ instruments (IMPACT, PLASTIC). The modeling includes the coronal plasma, in both open and closed magnetic structures, and the solar wind and its expansion outwards from the Sun, which ...

THEORETICAL MODELS OF DARK ENERGY [PDF]
Mounting observational data confirm that about 73% of the energy density consists of dark energy which is responsible for the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. We present observational evidences and dark energy projects. We then review various theoretical ideas that have been proposed to explain the origin of dark energy; they contain the ...

Research Developments of Aerostatic Thrust Bearings: A Review
In aerostatic thrust bearings (ATBs), a high-pressure gas film with a certain bearing capacity and stiffness is formed by passing high-pressure gas between the moving surface and the static surface.

Theoretical solar models [PDF]
In the last two decades the large amount of accurate helioseismic data has open a new possibility to sound the stellar interiors and to test the stellar evolution theory. This has particularly impulsed a critical reexamination of the basic assumptions and physical inputs in solar modelling.
