Are Paragraph Theories Array of Impressions?

Spontaneous inferences, implicit impressions, and implicit theories.

People make social inferences without intentions, awareness, or effort, i.e., spontaneously. We review recent findings on spontaneous social inferences (especially traits, goals, and causes) and closely related phenomena. We then describe current thinking on some of the most relevant processes, implicit knowledge, and theories. These include automatic and controlled processes and their interpla...

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

What Are Iteration Theories?

We prove that iteration theories can be introduced as algebras for the monad Rat on the category of signatures assigning to every signature Σ the rationalΣ-tree signature. This supports the result that iteration theories axiomatize precisely the equational properties of least fixed points in domain theory: Rat is the monad of free rational theories and every free rational theory has a continuou...
