James Thomson envisaged a lamp which would be turned on for 1 minute, off for 1/2 minute, on for 1/4 minute, etc. ad infinitum. He asked whether the lamp would be on or off at the end of 2 minutes. Use of “internal set theory” (a version of nonstandard analysis), developed by Edward Nelson, shows Thomson’s lamp is chimerical; its copy within set theory yields a contradiction. The demonstration ...

We consider the effect of Compton scattering by a Thomson-thick, low-temperature, plasma cloud surrounding the compact object in the binary system Cyg X-3 on its X-ray energy and power spectra. The presence of such a cloud was earlier inferred from the energy-independent orbital modulation of the X-ray flux and the lack of high frequencies in its power spectra. Here, we consider the effect of C...

An algorithm for generating quasi-harmonic self-oscillations with a uniformly widened spectral line is presented. The based on the equation of motion Thomson-type DT-oscillator, which introduced random effect in form band-pass white noise. Two types effects are implemented: additive and parametric. Spectral characteristics generated were analyzed by numerical experiment. shown to generate ampli...

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by a poikilodermatous rash starting in infancy as well as various skeletal anomalies, juvenile cataracts, and predisposition to certain cancers. Although Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is associated with diminished bone mineral density in addition to multiple skeletal abnormalities, there are few reports of the asso...
