Discussion: “Optimal Synthesis of Randomly Generated Linkages” (Garrett, R. E., and Hall, A. S., 1968, ASME J. Eng. Ind., 90, pp. 475–480)

Closure to “Discussion of ‘Factors of Safety for Richardson Extrapolation’ ” (2011, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 133, p. 115501)

The Technical Brief by Roache [1] presents ten items of discussion of our factor of safety (FS) method for solution verification [2]. Our responses are listed below item-by-item using the same numbering as Roache. The nomenclature mostly follows our own and not Roache’s such as pRE for the order of accuracy calculated using the Richardson Extrapolation as opposed to the observed order of conver...

" the Tragedy of the Commons " by Garrett Hardin , 1968

J. Mar. Sci. Eng

The reliability of the narrative of the Biblical Exodus has been subject of heated debate for decades. Recent archaeological studies seem to provide new insight of the exodus path, and although with a still controversial chronology, the effects of the Minoan Santorini eruption have been proposed as a likely explanation of the biblical plagues. Particularly, it has been suggested that flooding b...

Stereoisomerism in Nanohoops with Heterogeneous Biaryl Linkages of E/Z- and R/S-Geometries

The stereochemistry of cycloarylene nanohoops gives rise to unique cyclostereoisomerism originating from hoop-shaped molecular shapes. However, cyclostereoisomerism has not been well understood despite the ever-increasing number of structural variants. The present work clarifies the cyclostereoisomerism of a cyclophenanthrenylene nanohoop possessing both E/Z- and R/S-geometries at the biaryl li...
