Abridging over Troubled Water---Scientific Foundation of Engineering Subjects
View Published Articles →01About This Special Issue
There is a great gap between the understanding of the basic notions in scientific disciplines by scientists and engineers. Sometimes in engineering disciplines, vague notions are applied without reflection. A typical example would be the heavy use of the Dirac delta function, which is to be understood as distribution, or a naïve idea that A/D to D/A gives rise to the original data A, which is to be A’. In the previous special issue from another publisher, we collected several papers to abridge this gap. In the proposed special issue, we would like to collect papers which are either rather mathematical or more application-oriented endeavors in engineering disciplines. The papers are to be edited so that they abridge the afore-mentioned gap.02Meet the Guest Editors

An Adaptation Method for Removing Arsenate Species from Water Solution
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 47-54Received: 28 October 2014Accepted: 2 March 2015Published: 6 March 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.19Downloads:Views:Abstract: This paper is based on the idea of adaptation under which we mean the replacement of one element in a system with another with similar aspects. The first adaptation comes from the replacement of orthophospheric acid H3PO4 by arsenious acid H3AsO4. There is a close relation between calcium-sulfate and calcium carbonate-arsenate species. The main obj... Show More -

This elucidates somewhat vague presentation in many existing textbooks on molecular orbitals, thus abridging between group theory and quantum chemistry.

A Note on the Rank Bounded Distance and Its Algorithms for Cyclic Codes
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 36-41Received: 22 December 2014Accepted: 30 January 2015Published: 11 February 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.17Downloads:Views:Abstract: The minimum distance for linear codes is one of the important parameters. The shift bound is a good lower bound of the minimum distance for cyclic codes, Reed-Muller codes and geometric Goppa codes. It is necessary to construct the maximum value of the independent set for the calculation of the shift bound. However, its computational complexity is ... Show More -

Our interest arose from the remark that there exist both linear and circular DNAs in higher living organisms. We state the theory of codes in a wide... Show More

Dielectric Properties of Au/C60 (OH) 24-26/Au Structure
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 18-24Received: 26 November 2014Accepted: 1 December 2014Published: 27 December 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.14Downloads:Views:Abstract: Dielectric properties of the Au/C60 (OH)24-26/Au structure were studied by measuring a.c. impedance and d.c. current in a wide temperature range. Three dielectric response characteristics were identified from Cole-Cole plots of a.c. impedance and dielectric dissipation factor of the structure. First, the bulk resistance and capacitance of the struc... Show More -
Tychonoff’s Theorem as a Direct Application of Zorn’s Lemma
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 14-17Received: 25 November 2014Accepted: 11 December 2014Published: 27 December 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.13Downloads:Views:Abstract: A simple proof of Tychonoff’s theorem (the compactness of the product of compact spaces) as a direct application of Zorn’s lemma is given. In contrast to the classical Cartan-Bourbaki proof which uses Zorn’s lemma twice, our proof uses it only once. -
Descartes’ Dream: Cartesian Products
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 7-13Received: 22 November 2014Accepted: 2 December 2014Published: 27 December 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.12Downloads:Views:Abstract: In the last century, especially in the last half of the century, there was the paradigm of sectionalism prevailing and sciences and engineering were divided into very small parts which are mutually independent. It was like in Babel where there was no common language to communicate. The purpose of this paper is to present one of the possible glues—t... Show More -
Applications of the Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta-Function
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 30-35Received: 5 November 2014Accepted: 14 November 2014Published: 27 December 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.16Downloads:Views:Abstract: In this paper, we shall exhibit the use of two principles, “principle of decomposition into residue classes” and “binomial principle of analytic continuation” due to Ram Murty and Sinha and indicate a certain distribution property and the functional equation for the Lipschitz-Lerch transcendent at integral arguments ofs. By considering the limiting... Show More -
Class Number Formula for Certain Imaginary Quadratic Fields
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 2-1, March 2015Pages: 1-6Received: 26 October 2014Accepted: 6 November 2014Published: 29 November 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.pamj.s.2015040201.11Downloads:Views:Abstract: In this note we shall show how Carlitz in 1954 could have reached an analogue of the Voronoi congruence in the more difficult case of p≡1(mod4): h(-4p) ≡B(p+1)/2(x4)(mod p), where B(p+1)/2(x4) is the generalized Bernoulli number with x4 being the Kronecker symbol associated to the Gaussian field Q(√-4).
