The boundary problem holds that, whatever the theory of democratic legitimacy, initial act constituting demos can never be considered met by it. Many contemporary attempts to solve understood as falling into two categories: functional views and global views. This article argues against both Functional exacerbate legitimacy puzzle posed problem, while a democracy cannot held democratically accou...

Charged particle transport plays a critical role in the evolution of high energy-density plasmas. As high-fidelity plasma models continue to incorporate new micro-physics, understanding multi-species becomes increasingly important. We briefly outline theoretical challenges going beyond single-component systems and binary mixtures as well emphasize roles experiment, simulation, theory, modeling ...

This thesis investigates the use of Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOA) for 10 and 40Gb/s all-optical 3R signal regeneration and wavelength conversion for application to advanced high-speed all-optical WDM networks. Detailed experimental characterisation of the magnitude and the time scales of inter­ band nonlinear effects in SOA is carried out. The regenerative properties of SOA gates are t...

An ideal triangulation T of a hyperbolic 3-manifold M with one cusp is non-peripheral if no edge of T is homotopic to a curve in the boundary torus of M . For such a triangulation, the gluing and completeness equations can be solved to recover the hyperbolic structure of M . A planar projection of a knot gives four ideal cell decompositions of its complement (minus 2 balls), two of which are id...
