On the origin of the HI line emission associated with massive young stellar objects
(1992)The problem of interpreting the H I line emission associated with massive young stellar objects is addressed by comparing results of LTE calculations of H I Br-alpha and Pf-gamma profiles with observations of the exciting ... -
On the Origins, Meaning and Influence of Jensen and Meckling's Definition of the Firm
(2020-10-01)Jensen and Meckling’s 1976 definition of the firm as a legal fiction which serves as a nexus of contracts between individuals sits well with the Coasean narrative on the firm while at the same time being at odds with it. ... -
On the problem of formalism in economics
(2006)In his Reorienting Economics, Tony Lawson cites this magnificently appropriate quotation by Mark Blaug (1997, p. 3): Modern economics is sick. Economics has increasingly become an intellectual game played for its own sake ... -
On the psychology of oppression : blame me on history!
(2009)The history I present here is a story of suppression of the existence of a people of which I am part; their memory and history. These are my personal recollections about the Ndebele people in post-colonial Zimbabwe, from ... -
On the relationship between exchange rates and equity returns : A new approach
(2011-10-01)This paper employs a new approach in order to investigate the underlying relationship between stock markets and exchange rates. Current approaches suggest that the relative equity market performance of two countries is ... -
On the relationship between nucleotide hydrolysis and microtubule assembly : Studies with a GTP-regenerating system
(1987)The assembly of pure tubulin dimer has been studied in two buffer systems (containing low and high glycerol/Mg), using a regeneration system protocol to assess the amount of GDP-tubulin in the assembling polymer. For both ... -
On the representation of time in interaction
(University of Hertfordshire, 1999)The growth in interactive, distributed and multimedia systems and particularly the explosion in use of the World Wide Web means that the concept of time is being recognised as of increasing importance in systems which are ... -
On the shape of the mass-function of dense clumps in the Hi-GAL fields . I : Spectral energy distribution determination and global properties of the mass-functions
(2013-03-01)Context. Stars form in dense, dusty clumps of molecular clouds, but little is known about their origin and evolution. In particular, the relationship between the mass distribution of these clumps (also known as the clump ... -
On the shape of the mass-function of dense clumps in the Hi-GAL fields II : Using Bayesian inference to study the clump mass function
(2014-04)Context. Stars form in dense, dusty clumps of molecular clouds, but little is known about their origin, their evolution, and their detailed physical properties. In particular, the relationship between the mass distribution ... -
On the skeleton of a finite transformation semigroup
(2010)There are many ways to construct hierarchical decompositions of transformation semigroups. The holonomy algorithm is especially suitable for computational implementations and it is used in our software package. The structure ... -
On the spatial distributions of stars and gas in numerical simulations of molecular clouds
(2015-08-21)We compare the spatial distribution of stars which form in hydrodynamical simulations to the spatial distribution of the gas, using the Q -parameter. The Q-parameter enables a self-consistent comparison between the stars ... -
On the spectral depolarisation and lidar ratio of mineral dust provided in the AERONET version 3 inversion product
(2018-09-04)Knowledge of the particle lidar ratio (Sγ) and the particle linear depolarisation ratio (δγ) for different aerosol types allows for aerosol typing and aerosol-Type separation in lidar measurements. Reference values generally ... -
On the time to ruin for a dependent delayed capital injection risk model
(2019-07-01)In this paper, we propose a generalisation to the Cramér–Lundberg risk model, by allowing for a delayed receipt of the required capital injections whenever the surplus of an insurance firm is negative. Delayed capital ... -
On the turbulent flow models in modelling of omni-flow wind turbine
(2014-10)The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has a wide application in the wind energy industry. In CFD simulations, a turbulence model plays a significantly important role in accuracy and resource cost. In this paper, a novel ... -
On the unreasonable reliability of mathematical inference
(2022-08-03)In (Avigad, 2020), Jeremy Avigad makes a novel and insightful argument, which he presents as part of a defence of the ‘Standard View’ about the relationship between informal mathematical proofs (that is, the proofs that ...
