The energetics of cracking and the conditions leading to an enhanced matrix failure strain are then discussed and, finally, the crack spacing expected in composites containing fibres isotropically arranged in two or in three dimensions is derived for the case of very thin and hence very flexible ...
The theory of cultural dimensions put forward by Hofstede is the most influential intercultural theory in the world. Here are Hofstede's dimensions of culture values, including Individualism versus Collectivism, Uncertainty Avoidance, Power Distance, Masculinity versus Femininity, Long-term orientation versu...
The Trade-Off between Foreign Direct Investments and Exports: The Role of Multiple Dimensions of Distance To serve foreign markets, firms can either export or set up a local subsidiary through horizontal foreign direct investment (FDI). The conventional proximi... M Lankhuizen,HLFD Groot,GJM Lin...
Quenched disorder and instability control dynamic fracture in three dimensions Materials fail by the three-dimensional (3D) propagation of cracks. The authors show that material disorder is essential for understanding a wide variety of experimental observations on 3D spatiotemporal failure dynamics and ...
We examine the motion of light fields near the bottom of a potential valley in a multi-dimensional field space. In the case of two fields we identify three general scales, all of which must be large in order to justify an effective low-energy approximation involving only the light field, ...
multiple MINLP instances to find an expression that minimizes the least-square error. Each instance is solved approximately, subject to a time limit. Both linear and nonlinear constraints can be imposed. In particular, dimensional consistency is imposed when physical dimensions of variables are ...
The Multiverse Theory is a theory that many parallel universes exist, including our own, and the collection of parallel or multiple universes is known as the Multiverse. There is an infinite number of universes in the multiverse. You couldn't say there are 10,000 universes; you can't determi...
imbalances, opacity and unfair distributions in value capture (Singer and Isaac,2020, Stempel,2020, Chhillar and Aguilera,2022, Khan,2017and Lehdonvirta,2022). In the next section we draw up a new theoretical framework that incorporates the data and knowledge dimensions of data capitalismFootnote...

The entropy theory has been extensively applied to derive the most probable univariate distribution subject to specified constraints by applying the principle of maximum entropy. With the flexibility to model nonlinear dependence structure, parametric copulas (e.g., Archimedean, extreme value, meta-...
