What a Structuralist Theory of Properties Could Not Be
... but some of our statements will be threatened by semantic indeterminacy. Consider the following case. We notice that every instance of some phenomenon P seems to be preceded by an instance of C. Our controlled experiments seem to vindicate the claim that “All instances of P are caused by C,” and we ...

... redistribution of charge upon chemisorption determines the nature of the surface chemical bond. It also causes a change in the surface work function and affects the core-level binding energies of atoms near the adsorption site. Many metal surfaces, such as those of platinum, tungsten, silver, and go ...

... broadcast is also solvable within Continuous Variable using multipartite entangled Gaussian states and Gaussian operations (homodyne detection). Furthermore, we show under which premises concerning entanglement content of the state, noise, inefficient homodyne detectors, our protocol is efficient and ap ...

Superposition and Dipole E field
... The net electric field at a position in space is the vector sum of every electric field made at that location by all the other charged particles around. The electric field created by a charged particle is not affected by the presence of other charged particles or electric fields nearby. ...

Is the electrostatic force between a point charge and a neutral
... A classic problem in electrostatics is to compute the force between a point charge and a perfectly conducting, neutral metallic sphere [Fig. 1(a)]. The problem can be easily solved using the method of images. One finds that the force on the point charge can be computed by summing the forces exerted ...

Exergy: the quality of energy
... Thermodynamics are based on experience, experience with nature that shows which conversions from one kind of energy into the other are possible and which are not. In the following several kinds of energy will play a role like: kinetic energy, potential energy, internal energy, heat, work, electrical ...

The end results were certainly more satisfying this way than they would have been otherwise. I sincerely thank Prof. Umrigar and Prof. ...
