Scientific Laws, Principles and Theories: A Reference Guide (Krebs, Robert E.)

THEA – A Reference Guide

THEA is a technique designed to help anticipate human-computer interaction failures. It has been developed within the Dependable Computing Systems Centre (DCSC) at York for use by systems engineers. Human factors knowledge is not necessary for the application of the method. It is intended for use early in the development lifecycle as design concepts and requirements concerned with safety, usabi...

lingual long-acting nitrates more prolonged than that achieved by nitroglycerin. It is likely that the duration of action of the sublingual nitrates is not as long as would be ideal, merely more prolonged than that achieved by nitroglycerin: a 1-21/2 hour duration of action seems most likely. Evidence that oral "long-acting nitrates" have a prolonged duration of action is, we agree, lacking. Al...

Determined theories and limit laws

We provide a new model theoretic technique for proving 0-1 and convergence laws. As an application, we obtain a new (slightly less computational) proof of convergence laws due to Spencer and Thoma for the probability functions: pn = ln(n) n + l·ln(ln(n)) n + c n .

A Guide to Nip Theories

INTRODUCTION This text is an introduction to the study of NIP (or dependent) theories. It is meant to serve two purposes. The first is to present various aspects of NIP theories and give the reader sufficient background material to understand the current research in the area. The second is to advertise the use of honest definitions, in particular in establishing basic results, such as the so-ca...
