Increased moment-to-moment predictability, or inertia, of negative affect has been identified as an important dynamic marker of psychological maladjustment, and increased vulnerability to depression in particular. However, little is known about the processes underlying emotional inertia. The current article examines how the emotional context, and people's responses to it, are related to emotion...

In this study, a simple method based on the dynamic equation of motion was introduced to determine the moment of inertia using a commercial dynamometer, and an optimization technique was utilized to estimate inertial parameters with the determined moment of inertia. To evaluate the feasibility of the developed method, three different passive speeds (i.e. 240, 270 and 300°/s) were chosen to conf...

Five experiments were designed to determine whether a rotating, transparent 3-D cloud of dots (simulated sphere) could influence the perceived direction of rotation of a subsequent sphere. Experiment 1 established conditions under which the direction of rotation of a virtual sphere was perceived unambiguously. When a near-far luminance difference and perspective depth cues were present, observe...

Assessing emotional dynamics in the brain offers insight into the fundamental neural and psychological mechanisms underlying emotion. One such dynamic is emotional inertia-the influence of one's emotional state at one time point on one's emotional state at a subsequent time point. Emotion inertia reflects emotional rigidity and poor emotion regulation as evidenced by its relationship to depress...

Due to the kinematic reversibility of Stokes flow, a body executing a reciprocal motion (a motion in which the sequence of body configurations remains identical under time reversal) cannot propel itself in a viscous fluid in the limit of negligible inertia; this result is known as Purcell's scallop theorem. In this limit, the Reynolds numbers based on the fluid inertia and on the body inertia a...

This paper proposes an efficient method to solve the optimal power flow problem in power systems using Particle Swarm Optimization PSO . The objective of the proposed method is to find the steady-state operating point which minimizes the fuel cost, while maintaining an acceptable system performance in terms of limits on generator power, line flow, and voltage. Three different inertia weights, a...

Starting from Katsuno and Mendelzon postulates, a new set of postulates which is minimal and complete has been deened, these postulates characterize an update operator. The update operator class which is obtained is larger than Katsuno and Mendelzon's one, since it includes updating operators which are not inert, and which allow for the existence of unreachable states. The main property is that...

Let X and Y be proper, normal, connected schemes over a field K, and let f : X → Y be a finite, flat K-morphism which is generically Galois (i.e., the extension of function fields K(Y ) ↪→ K(X) is Galois) with Galois group G. It is well-known that for the Zariski-open complement U ⊆ Y of the branch locus of f , the map f−1(U) → U is a (right) G-torsor. Thus, for any y ∈ U and x ∈ f−1(y), the ex...

A body immersed in a highly viscous fluid can locomote by drawing in and expelling fluid through pores at its surface. We consider this mechanism of jet propulsion without inertia in the case of spheroidal bodies and derive both the swimming velocity and the hydrodynamic efficiency. Elementary examples are presented and exact axisymmetric solutions for spherical, prolate spheroidal, and oblate ...

the non-split extension group $overline{g} = 5^3{^.}l(3,5)$ is a subgroup of order 46500000 and of index 1113229656 in ly. the group $overline{g}$ in turn has l(3,5) and $5^2{:}2.a_5$ as inertia factors. the group $5^2{:}2.a_5$ is of order 3 000 and is of index 124 in l(3,5). the aim of this paper is to compute the fischer-clifford matrices of $overline{g}$, which together with associated parti...
