    Aerodynamic characteristics of the modified 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel as measured in a 1/50th-scale model

    The aerodynamic characteristics of the 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel at Ames Research Center were measured by using a 1/50th-scale facility. The model was configured to closely simulate the features of the full-scale facility when it became operational in 1986. The items measured include the aerodynamic effects due to changes in the total-pressure-loss characteristics of the intake and exhaust openings of the air-exchange system, total-pressure distributions in the flow field at locations around the wind tunnel circuit, the locations of the maximum total-pressure contours, and the aerodynamic changes caused by the installation of the acoustic barrier in the southwest corner of the wind tunnel. The model tests reveal the changes in the aerodynamic performance of the 1986 version of the 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel compared with the performance of the 1982 configuration

    Hip Hop and the Huxtables: Identity, Hip Hop, and the Cosby Effect in Colson Whitehead\u27s \u3cem\u3eSag Harbor\u3c/em\u3e

    Identity is a tricky thing for anyone in the formative years of adolescence, a thing made much more complex when you don’t fit the mold of any preexisting social group. For a black American in the 1980s, the formulation of identity was a remarkably unique challenge. The rise of hip hop as a major element of American culture gave a far-reaching voice to the challenges faced many black Americans, but its roots in and content about impoverished, usually violent urban areas offered a decidedly limited and negative view of black Americans. In Sag Harbor, Colson Whitehead delves into this complicated identity problem through Benji, a black prep-school New York high school student “catching up on months” of black culture he has missed out on in his upper-middle class world (Whitehead 37). Benji fits the role of the “black geek” during his school year, playing Dungeons & Dragons, obsessing over comic books and Star Wars, yet he is drawn to the cultural world of hip hop in search of a more authentically black experience. Benji is caught in the midst of swirling social identities: too black to fully assimilate into his prep-school world and too white to be part of the hip hop world. Sag Harbor is the place where he tries to negotiate this tension and reinvent himself

    Some remarks to the legal status of platform workers in the light of the latest European jurisprudence

    Get PDF
    The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the working conditions of so-called platform workers that have faced the lack of labour and social protection deriving from their formal status of independent contractors. Seeking for protection, numerous claims have been filed by the riders and drivers of digital platforms that were asking for a recognition of the subordinate work. The aim of the present article is to give a critical and brief overview of the latest European jurisprudence regarding the legal status of platform workers. The article focuses on the methodology and criteria applied by the judges in order to examine the particularities of the new forms of work and new forms of surveillance as well. Special attention is paid to on-location work performance by low-skilled individuals conducting services for the digital platforms operating in food delivery and transportation sectors

    All Liouville Numbers are Transcendental

    In this Mizar article, we complete the formalization of one of the items from Abad and Abad’s challenge list of “Top 100 Theorems” about Liouville numbers and the existence of transcendental numbers. It is item #18 from the “Formalizing 100 Theorems” list maintained by Freek Wiedijk at http://www.cs.ru.nl/F.Wiedijk/100/. Liouville numbers were introduced by Joseph Liouville in 1844 [15] as an example of an object which can be approximated “quite closely” by a sequence of rational numbers. A real number x is a Liouville number iff for every positive integer n, there exist integers p and q such that q > 1 and 0 < x − p q < 1 q n . It is easy to show that all Liouville numbers are irrational. The definition and basic notions are contained in [10], [1], and [12]. Liouvile constant, which is defined formally in [12], is the first explicit transcendental (not algebraic) number, another notable examples are e and π [5], [11], and [4]. Algebraic numbers were formalized with the help of the Mizar system [13] very recently, by Yasushige Watase in [23] and now we expand these techniques into the area of not only pure algebraic domains (as fields, rings and formal polynomials), but also for more settheoretic fields. Finally we show that all Liouville numbers are transcendental, based on Liouville’s theorem on Diophantine approximation.KorniƂowicz Artur - Institute of Informatics, University of BiaƂystok, BiaƂystok, PolandNaumowicz Adam - Institute of Informatics, University of BiaƂystok, BiaƂystok, PolandGrabowski Adam - Institute of Informatics, University of BiaƂystok, BiaƂystok, PolandTom M.

    Eko-teologia jako forma chrzeƛcijaƄskiej diakonii wobec stworzenia

    Get PDF
    JĂŒrgen Moltmann, one of the world’s leading Protestant theologians, is widely recognized as a key figure in the growing concern for eco-theology. For Moltmann, the present ecological crisis can be overcome by a new understanding of God and creation. The concept of a triune God helps to dispel the myth of our unilateral relationship of dominion over nature. Moltmann sees also some positive aspects of Gaia theory. He champions a commitment to justice for all creatures, not just human. He moves beyond anthropocentrism and tries to balance the traditional emphasis on God’s creative work by insisting that a doctrine of creation should culminate in the Sabbath celebration

    A Note on the Seven Bridges of Königsberg Problem

    Get PDF
    In this paper we account for the formalization of the seven bridges of Königsberg puzzle. The problem originally posed and solved by Euler in 1735 is historically notable for having laid the foundations of graph theory, cf. [7]. Our formalization utilizes a simple set-theoretical graph representation with four distinct sets for the graph’s vertices and another seven sets that represent the edges (bridges). The work appends the article by Nakamura and Rudnicki [10] by introducing the classic example of a graph that does not contain an Eulerian path.

    In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of formalizing recreational mathematics in Mizar ([1], [2]) drawing examples from W. Sierpinski’s book “250 Problems in Elementary Number Theory” [4]. The current work contains proofs of initial ten problems from the chapter devoted to the divisibility of numbers. Included are problems on several levels of difficulty.Institute of Informatics, University of BiaƂystok, PolandGrzegorz Bancerek, CzesƂaw Bylinski, Adam Grabowski, Artur KorniƂowicz, Roman Matuszewski, Adam Naumowicz, Karol Pak, and Josef Urban.

    Decoding the Christian Era of Dionysius Exiguus

    Dotychczas nie znaleziono satysfakcjonującego wyjaƛnienia, w jaki sposĂłb rzymski mnich Dionysius Exiguus ustaliƂ rok narodzenia Jezusa w swoim systemie rachuby lat, ktĂłry wprowadziƂ w 525 roku. W badaniach dominują bowiem dwa bezzasadne zaƂoĆŒenia: pierwsze, ĆŒe twĂłrca tej rachuby nie podaƂ jej uzasadnienia, i drugie, ĆŒe rozwiązania problemu naleĆŒy szukać jedynie w pracach tego autora dotyczących obliczania dat Wielkanocy. W tym artykule przyjąƂem następującą hipotezę badawczą: wyjaƛnienie nowej rachuby lat znajduje się w pismach Dionizego, do ktĂłrych naleĆŒÄ… jego prace komputystyczne, ale takĆŒe teologiczne. Analiza tych pism pozwala odkryć historyczne i teologiczne racje, ktĂłre staƂy się faktyczną podstawą ustalenia daty narodzenia Jezusa na rok odpowiadający dzisiejszemu AD 1
