The interest on Andrea Rossi's Nickel-Hydrogen Cold Fusion technology is accelerating. In the present article I would like to answer a question posed by L. Kowalsky in Vixra: how can 30% of nickel in Rossi’s reactor be transmuted into copper? "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler", says a guy. I apologizes if I am too simplistic here. ________________ * Retired. Earl...

In the late nineteenth century, Alexander Bain, professor of rhetoric, logic, and mental philosophy at the University of Aberdeen, charged that what his profession knew about effective writing assignments was only at the level of the "infant school." After detailing many of the problems and inequities inherent in essay assignments, Bain concluded that "there are very strong objections to Essay ...

where z = (x, t) ∈ RN×R and 1 ≤ p0 ≤ N. By convenience, hereafter the term “Kolmogorov equation” will be shortened to KE. We assume the following hypotheses: (H.1) the matrix A0 = (aij)i,j=1,...,p0 is symmetric and uniformly positive definite in R p0 : there exists a positive constant μ such that |η| μ ≤ p0 ∑ i,j=1 aij(z)ηiηj ≤ μ|η|, ∀η ∈ R0 , z ∈ R; (1.2) (H.2) the matrix B ≡ (bij) has constan...

Andrea Bajo successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation on 3/15/2013. His dissertation titled " Control, Sensing, and Telemanipulation of Surgical Continuum Robots" presents contributions in the areas of contact detection and estimation of contact location for continuum robots, hybrid force/motion control for continuum robots, and constrained telemanipulation of continuum robots. Algorithms de...

Large scale distributed systems—including human and software organizations—benefit from top-down command and control in order to survive threats and damage. Yet achieving top-down management organization over millions of components is a significant challenge. This raises the question: is top down control a valid approach to the survival management of very large systems? We attempt to answer thi...
