As a simple explanation, Internet literacy is a capability constitutive to utilizing the advantages of the Internet. But, due to the constant changes of digital technologies, what kinds of necessary capabilities are required to gain the advantages? In fact, more than focusing on the essential capabilities to benefit users from the Internet advantages, existing perceptions of Internet literacy h...

 In network code setting, a constant dimension code is a set of k-dimensional subspaces of F nq . If F_q n is a nondegenerated symlectic vector space with bilinear form f, an isotropic subspace U of F n q is a subspace that for all x, y ∈ U, f(x, y) = 0. We introduce isotropic subspace codes simply as a set of isotropic subspaces and show how the isotropic property use in decoding process, then...

for the polynomial planar vector fields with a hyperbolic or nilpotent critical point at the origin, the monodromy problem has been solved, but for the strongly degenerate critical points this problem is still open. when the critical point is monodromic, the stability problem or the center- focus problem is an open problem too. in this paper we will consider the polynomial planar vector fields ...

We report a simulation study of the gas-liquid critical point for the square-well potential, for values of well width delta as small as 0.005 times the particle diameter sigma. For small delta, the reduced second virial coefficient at the critical point B2*c is found to depend linearly on delta. The observed weak linear dependence is not sufficient to produce any significant observable effect i...

The space of symplectic connections on a symplectic manifold is a symplectic affine space. M. Cahen and S. Gutt showed that the action of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on this space is Hamiltonian and calculated the moment map. This is analogous to, but distinct from, the action of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on the space of compatible almost complex structures that motivates study o...

An index theorem is a tool for computing the change of the index (i.e., the number of negative eigenvalues) of a symmetric monotone matrix-valued function when its variable passes through a singularity. In 1995, the first author proved an index theorem in which a certain critical matrix coefficient is constant. In this paper, we generalize the above index theorem to the case when this critical ...

Critical behavior was studied with a crosslinking system obtained by living anionic polymerization, where the primary chain length was kept constant and the crosslinking density was varied. Gelation was found at a critical ratio of crosslinker

the suppression of the regenerative chatter phenomenon in turning process via the variation of the frequency and amplitude of the spindle motor excitation is carried out in this research. a programmable inverter is employed for variable periodic excitation of the spindle motor. a set of turning experiments is designed and performed on a number of conical work pieces both in constant spindle spe...
