Why the naïve Derivation Recipe model cannot explain how mathematicians’ proofs secure mathematical knowledge
(2016-10-01)The view that a mathematical proof is a sketch of or recipe for a formal derivation requires the proof to function as an argument that there is a suitable derivation. This is a mathematical conclusion, and to avoid a regress ... -
Why the Pilot Cannot be Blamed : A Cautionary Note about Excessive Reliance on Technology
(2007)In many human endeavours intelligent automation has taken over some of the tasks traditionally performed by operators, pilots or controllers. The adoption of intelligent protective technology reflects the greater degree ... -
"Why then the world's mine oyster": Consumption and Globalization
(Routledge, 2016-06-01)Design has been seen in education and public contexts as principally concerned with ideation and production, yet consumption is an important part of the design lifecycle. This chapter considers the history of consumer ... -
Why theories of causality need production : an information-transmission account
(2011)In this paper, I examine the comparatively neglected intuition of production regarding causality. I begin by examining the weaknesses of current production accounts of causality. I then distinguish between giving a good ... -
Why we need a generalized Darwinism, and why generalized Darwinism is not enough
(2006)Complex evolving systems, consisting of populations of varied and replicating entities are found in both nature and human society. There exists no alternative to the core Darwinian principles of variation, selection and ... -
Why we need a survey of unions
(2012)Unions represent millions of workers in both Britain and the U.S. despite substantial membership declines over the last thirty years. Union influence and trends contained therein are major concerns to a broad range of ... -
Why weight should be the fifth vital sign we check
(2017-03-10)The disturbing fact that more than 1.9 billion adults across the world are overweight was revealed in the Global Burden of Disease Study in 2013. The study classes more than 600 million of these people as obese, representing ... -
Why will rat's go where rats will not
(2002)Experimental evidence indicates that regular plurals are nearly always omitted from English compounds (e.g., rats-eater) while irregular plurals may be included within these structures (e.g., mice-chaser). This phenomenon ... -
Why z > 1 radio-loud galaxies are commonly located in protoclusters
(2014-11-21)Distant powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) tend to reside in dense environments and are commonly found in proto-clusters at z > 1.3. We examine whether this occurs because RLAGN are hosted by massive galaxies, ... -

A wide deep infrared look at the Pleiades with UKIDSS : New constraints on the substellar binary fraction and the low-mass initial mass function
(2007-09-01)We present the results of a deep wide-field near-infrared survey of 12 deg2 of the Pleiades conducted as part of the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Cluster Survey (GCS). ... -
Wide optical lenses for atomic beams.
(IEEE, 2009)The field of atom-optics offers considerable potential in fundamental and applied physics, both for imaging atoms and their deposition (to create nano-structures). Here we work in the paraxial approximation throughout and ... -
Wide-field Infrared Polarimetry of the ρ Ophiuchi Cloud Core
(2015-09-21)We conducted wide and deep simultaneous JHKs-band imaging polarimetry of the ρ Ophiuchi cloud complex. Aperture polarimetry in the JHKs band was conducted for 2136 sources in all three bands, of which 322 sources have ... -
The wide-field infrared survey explorer properties of complete samples of radio-loud active galactic nucleus
(2014-03-01)We present an analysis of four complete samples of radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN; 3CRR, 2Jy, 6CE and 7CE) using near- and mid-IR data taken by theWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The combined sample ... -
Wide-field motion integration in fly VS cells : insights from an inverse approach
(2010)Fly lobula plate tangential cells are known to perform wide-field motion integration. It is assumed that the shape of these neurons, and in particular the shape of the subclass of VS cells, is responsible for this type of ... -
Wide-field optical imaging on ELAIS N1, ELAIS N2, First Look Survey and Lockman Hole : Observations and source catalogues
(2011)We present u-, g-, r-, i- and z-band optical images and associated catalogues taken primarily with the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera on the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) N1 and N2, First Look Survey and ... -
Wideband Back-Cover Antenna Design Using Dual Characteristic Modes With High Isolation for 5G MIMO Smartphone
(2022-01-28)A novel method of designing a wideband high isolated dual-antenna pair using dual characteristic modes (CMs)is presented for fifth-generation (5G) multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) smartphone applications. A set of ... -
Wideband Differentially Fed Dual-Polarized Antenna by Using Three-Strip Transmission Lines
(2021-07-01)A new method of designing a wideband differentially fed dual-polarized antenna by using three-strip transmission lines (TS-TLs) is presented. A wideband power divider composed of four TS-TLs is firstly proposed and illustrated ...
