Von Neumann's paradox with translations

The von Neumann Triple Point Paradox

We describe the problem of weak shock reflection off a wedge and discuss the triple point paradox that arises. When the shock is sufficiently weak and the wedge is thin, Mach reflection appears to be observed but is impossible according to what von Neumann originally showed in 1943. We summarize some recent numerical results for weak shock reflection problems for the unsteady transonic small di...

Composing Relationships with Translations

Performing link prediction in Knowledge Bases (KBs) with embedding-based models, like with the model TransE (Bordes et al., 2013) which represents relationships as translations in the embedding space, have shown promising results in recent years. Most of these works are focused on modeling single relationships and hence do not take full advantage of the graph structure of KBs. In this paper, we...

JALDA's Interview with Professor Luise von Flotow

Luise von Flotow is a Professor of Translation Studies at the School of Translation and Interpretation, University of Ottawa, Canada. She got her BA in German and French from the University of London (1974) and her MA in French from the University of Windsor (1985) and her Ph.D. in French from the University of Michigan (1991). Professor von Flotow was the director of the School of Translation ...

Codes of Nets with Translations

| ij ∩ i′j′ | =   1 if i = i′; 0 if i= i′, j = j′; n if i= i′, j= j′. Thus the lines are partitioned into k parallel classes { ij : 1≤ j≤n}, 1≤ i≤ k, and each line has n points. Note that an (n+1)-net is the same thing as an affine plane of order n. For any k-net N and any k′-subset of the parallel classes of N , we obtain a k′-subnet N ′ ⊆ N of order n, also with point set P. The descriptio...
