We’re becoming more virtual all the time!” is heard in many global corporations today. But basing decisions on this is elusive, as “virtuality” itself isn’t measurable. Lack of definition makes it hard to assess how virtual teaming affects performance, or to design infrastructures and toolsets to support distributed work. Using the concept of discontinuities, or a decrease in expected cohesion,...

Drawing on the work of Peter Leithart and Robert Jenson, this article demonstrates that Christian eschatology is inescapably founded on the doctrine of God’s triunity. The basis for many of the “systems” used by Christian eschatology is found antecedently within the triunity of God’s being. The divine activity within the economy by which creation is being directed towards its glorious climax is...

In [1] a RMM has been introduced to study the influence of a chemical potential on the support of Dirac operator eigenvalues. Here, we aim to derive microscopic correlations of complex eigenvalues at zero virtuality which are important for spontaneous symmetry breaking. For simplicity we consider a non-chiral RMM relevant for three-dimensional QCD with broken flavor symmetry [2] as well as in f...

At small-x, the structure function F L (x, Q 2) is driven by the gluon content of the nucleon target and consequently it can unravel the underlying QCD dynamics in that region. In this work, one studies its behavior on photon virtuality Q 2 at fixed energy within the color dipole formalism for models considering parton saturation effects. The reason is that they resum a wide class of higher-twi...

Impingement syndrome historically has been considered to be a continuum of a single pathologic condition involving the subacromial soft tissue.As our understanding of this complex problem has developed, the simple continuum model has become less effective in guiding appropriate treatment. The purpose of this lesson is to provide the reader with more precise classifications of impingement syndro...

The Two-Scale Model and its improved version were used to perform the fit to the HERMES data for ν (the virtual photon energy) and z (the fraction of ν carried by hadron) dependencies of nuclear multiplicity ratios for π and π mesons electro-produced on two nuclear targets (N and Kr). The quantitative criterium χ was used for the first time to analyse the results of the model fit to the nuclear...

A popular approximation in lattice gauge theory is an extrapolation in the number of fermion species away from the four fold degeneracy natural with the staggered fermions formulation. I show that at finite lattice spacing and for an odd number of flavors this extrapolation misses terms which, on general principles, must be present in the continuum theory. For a correct continuum limit, this fo...

The continuum field theoretic method has become the method of choice for multiscale structure-formation modeling of very different phase transformations in the past decade. One of the challenges in application of the method to transformations in real materials is to obtain the mesoscopic parameters, which characterize the thermodynamic system of interest. Significant progress has been made in t...
