Where is the gap?

چکیده
In 1960, John F. Kennedy ran against Richard Nixon in an extremely close US presidential election. Kennedy, an adroit politician if ever there were one, made the ‘missile gap’ into his major campaign issue. After his successful election, this disingenuous issue was never heard from again; the gap was suddenly gone. We were recently confronted with a gap of a different nature or rather lack of one. Our riddle lay in figuring out, ‘where is the gap’.

Effect of Gap Acceptance Behavior of the Right Turning Vehicles on the Major Road Stream for Uncontrolled Three-Legged Intersections under Mixed Traffic Conditions
Uncontrolled intersections are the intersections where there are no external signs or signals to control the movement of vehicles. In mixed traffic conditions priority rules are often violated by the road users. In All-way-stop-controlled intersections (AWSC), the vehicle should stop themselves before they enter the intersection and should check whether any vehicles are present in the other app...
متن کاملCOMPUTING WIENER INDEX OF HAC5C7[p, q] NANOTUBES BY GAP PROGRAM
The Wiener index of a graph Gis defined as W(G) =1/2[Sum(d(i,j)] over all pair of elements of V(G), where V (G) is the set of vertices of G and d(i, j) is the distance between vertices i and j. In this paper, we give an algorithm by GAP program that can be compute the Wiener index for any graph also we compute the Wiener index of HAC5C7[p, q] and HAC5C6C7[p, q] nanotubes by this program.

متن کاملStudy of Geometrical-Dependence of Glow Discharge on Gain Coefficient in a TE-N2 Laser
Based on a set of experiments, using a transversely exited (TE) oscillator-amplifier N2-laser system (OSC-AMP) with the AMP effective length of 31cm, measurements have been carried out for small signal gain, g0, and saturation energy density, Es, for different AMP gap separations. It was found that the gain-value depends on the AMP electrode gap separation, d<su...
