Christian Mysticism: A Meta-Theoretical Approach – Part I

Film and Christian Preaching: Toward a Cinemate Homiletic (Part I)

Mysticism and beyond Buddhist phenomenology, part II

This paper is an extension of Buddhist phenomenology, Barendregt 1988], hereafter called part I. That paper is a personal account of part of the mental training towards the puriication of consciousness. For the reading of the present paper, however, no acquaintance with part I is required. This paper continues the description of experiences obtained during the practice of intensive vipassana me...

Generalized Interference Alignment - Part I: Theoretical Framework

Interference alignment (IA) has attracted enormous research interest as it achieves optimal capacity scaling with respect to signal to noise ratio on interference networks. IA has also recently emerged as an effective tool in engineering interference for secrecy protection on wireless wiretap networks. However, despite the numerous works dedicated to IA, two of its fundamental issues, i.e., fea...

A game theoretical approach to the algebraic counterpart of the Wagner hierarchy: Part I

The algebraic counterpart of the Wagner hierarchy consists of a well-founded and decidable classification of finite pointed ω-semigroups of width 2 and height ωω. This paper completes the description of this algebraic hierarchy. We first give a purely algebraic decidability procedure of this partial ordering by introducing a graph representation of finite pointed ω-semigroups allowing to comput...

Modeling Static Bruising in Apple Fruits: A Comparative Study, Part I: Analytical Approach

ABSTRACT- Bruising degrades the quality of fresh apple fruits. Reducing bruise damage is of utmost importance in designing and developing processing equipments. The main objective of the present study was to introduce an analytical method to predict the allowable static load applicable to apple fruits. To predict the strain energy absorbed by the fruit, a point load was applied on the solid sph...
