Abstract In response to Pascal's famous wager argument for adopting Christian belief, Denis Diderot noted that ‘An Imam could just as well reason this way’. article, I will show how Diderot's observation about can legitimately be made Alvin Plantinga's Reformed Epistemology (RE) and its use in defending the rationality of belief. RE can, with some minor adjustments, easily adopted by Muslims. s...

This work presents a reaction-transport model for pit propagation coupled with phase field method to the moving boundary at corroding surface. enables numerical simulations of simultaneous multiple pits in close proximity each other study interactions between under galvanostatic conditions, limited applied currents. Results show formation lacy covers over stainless steel, which is due undercutt...

Cerebral cortex, partially neuronally isolated by undercutting, undergoes changes resulting in decreased threshold for, and increased duration of, afterdlscharge ehmted by surface electrical stimulation3, a4 This phenomenon has been called supersensmvlty and can be prevented in most cases by daily sessions of brain stmlulatlon begun shortly after the undercutting operation a' The absence of sup...

In order to solve the problem that design constraints of conjugated straight-line internal gear pair are unclear, designing and checking pairs requires repeated trial error. By analogy with involute pair, basic parameters were clarified. Based on mathematical model given according engagement theory geometrical relations tooth profile. The calculation formula constraint contact ratio deduced kin...

In this paper, the compact reducer which can be used as a rigid drive mechanism with high-speed reduction ratio is systematically studied for kinematics and dynamics. The speed determined by number of cam lobes engaged rollers. eccentric rotating conjugate lobe profile synthesized using body transformation method. To characterize input torque based on Newton’s second law, transmission forces re...

This paper reports on a planar integrated technology which, unlike previous approaches, utilizes InP-based materials and airbridge technology to reduce parasitics by avoiding the use of a bridge-supporting dielectric. Verticalheterojunction varactors (VHV) and mixers were grown by the in-house Metalorganic-Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) system on S.1. InP substrates. A novel process is prese...

A large proportion (?80%) of the Indian subcontinent's precipitation comes from summer monsoon (ISM), which influences one-fifth world's population. long-term reliable proxy for ISM is fundamental to understanding previous global climate change. We establish a mass-wasting-inferred examine paleo-hydrogeology (river undercutting history) Southeast Tibetan Plateau and reconstruct dramatic variabi...

Owing to the axial symmetry of Earth’s magnetic field, paleomagnetic data only directly record latitudinal and azimuthal positions crustal blocks in past, paleolongitude cannot be constrained. An ability overcome this obstacle is thus fundamental importance paleogeographic reconstruction. Paleomagnetic Euler pole (PEP) analysis presents a unique means recover such information, but prior impleme...
