Hamilton's Theory--a Correction

We present a new approach to Hamilton's theory of turns for the groups SO(3) and SU(2) which renders their properties, in particular their composition law, nearly trivial and immediately evident upon inspection. We show that the entire construction…

Reiter 3 has developed a general theory of diagnosis based on first principles. His algorithm computes all diagnoses which explain the differences between the predicted and observed behavior of a given system. Unfortunately, Reiter's description of…

The correction of unilateral and bilateral aphakia with contact lenses has given good results. The contact lens of choice today is either the hard corneal lens or the soft hydrophilic lens. High-water-content lenses have excellent oxygen…

Outline of a Theory of Practice is recognized as a major theoretical text on the foundations of anthropology and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu, a distinguished French anthropologist, develops a theory of practice which is simultaneously a critique of…

Light passing through birefringent materials experiences two indices of refraction, and lenses made of or incorporating birefringent materials will therefore exhibit two focal points. The optics of birefringence are summarized, and their application…

BACKGROUND: In the last decades the implantation of pseudophakic and phakic toric lenses has become wide-spread for the correction of corneal astigmatism in cases of classical cataract surgery with implantation of a posterior chamber lens or in…

Mindlin plate theory was first developed to provide accurate solutions for vibrations of thickness-shear mode, which has a much higher frequency than usual flexure vibrations. It has been widely used in the analysis of high frequency vibrations of…
