Although contemporary powers metaphysics largely understands itself as a metaphysical realist undertaking, recently have come to the surface also within an idealist context. This paper aims characterize and motivate absolute conception of powers. I compare in their respective responses Humean scepticism concerning powers, thereby motivating claim that very idea power is actually best understood...

Abstract Can the desire for efficiently systematised theories in science be explained from within a powers metaphysics? It is plausible that traditional ‘Powers Theory of Laws’, endorsed by many friends powers, does not alone provide such an explanation. This has led number recent authors to argue Best System Account’ laws would preferable alternative. account borrows method determining Humean ...

In a graph, a vertex is simplicial if its neighborhood is a clique. For an integer k ≥ 1, a graph G = (VG, EG) is the k-simplicial power of a graph H = (VH , EH) (H a root graph of G) if VG is the set of all simplicial vertices of H , and for all distinct vertices x and y in VG, xy ∈ EG if and only if the distance inH between x and y is atmost k. This concept generalizes k-leaf powers introduce...

This paper deals with the control of voltage and frequency of a wind turbine driven isolated asynchronous generator. The controller consists of an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Junction Transistor) based 3-leg voltage source converter and a battery at its DC link. The controller is having bidirectional flow capability of active and reactive powers by which it controls the system voltage and freq...

A novel universal QCA gate is introduced and called a boundary comparator. This gate implements a Boolean function in its boundary form, as a superposition of elementary boundary functions or as threshold functions having weights equal to integer powers of 2. An array of the boundary comparators is called Comparator based Programmable Array (CPA) and forms a homogeneous regular structure progra...

In exercise of the powers conferred by sections 12 and 33 of the Drugs Act, 1940 (XXIII of 1940), the Central Government, after consultation with the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, hereby directs that the following further amendment shall be made in the Drugs Rules, 1945, the same having been previously published as required by the said sections, namely :? After rule 110 of the said Rules, the...

Introduction* It has long been known that every positive rational number can be represented as a finite sum of reciprocals of distinct positive integers (the first proof having been given by Leonardo Pisano [6] in 1202). It is the purpose of this paper to characterize {cf. Theorem 4) those rational numbers which can be written as finite sums of reciprocals of distinct nth. powers of integers, w...

Abstract. We investigate properties of a version of tail comonotonicity that can be applied to absolutely continuous distributions, and give several methods for constructions of multivariate distributions with tail comonotonicity or strongest tail dependence. Archimedean copulas as mixtures of powers, and scale mixtures of a non-negative random vector with the mixing distribution having slowly ...

Beamforming problem is studied in wireless networks where both transmitters and receivers have linear adaptive antenna arrays. Algorithms are proposed that find antenna array weight vectors at both transmitters and receivers as well as the transmitter powers with one of the following two objectives: 1) to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) over all receivers and ...
