In his philosophical writings, Coleridge increasingly developed his thinking about imagination, a symbolizing precursor to contemplation, to a theory of contemplation itself, which for him occurs in its purest form as a manifestation of ‘Reason’. Coleridge is a particularly challenging figure because he was a thinker in process, and something of an omnimath, a Renaissance man of the Romantic era. The dynamic quality of his thinking, the ‘dark fluxion’ pursued but ultimately ‘unfixable by thought’, and his extensive range of interests make essential an approach that is philosophical yet also multi-disciplinary. This is the first collection of essays to be written mainly by philosophers and intellectual historians on a wide range of Coleridge’s philosophical writings. With a foreword by Baroness Mary Warnock, and original essays on Coleridge and Contemplation by prominent philosophers such as Sir Roger Scruton, David E. Cooper, Michael McGhee, and Andy Hamilton, this volume provides a stimulating collection of insights and explorations into what Britain’s foremost philosopher-poet had to say about the contemplation that he considered to be the highest of the human mental powers. The essays by philosophers are supported by new developments in philosophically minded criticism from Coleridge scholars in English departments, including Jim Mays, Kathleen Wheeler, and James Engell. They approach Coleridge as an energetic yet contemplative thinker concerned with the intuition of ideas and the processes of cultivation in self and society. Other essays, from intellectual historians and theologians, clarify the historical background, and ‘religious musings’, of Coleridge’s thought regarding contemplation.

Specific to the improvement in the present research of mechanical response under cyclic loading, this paper, taking the calcareous middle- coarse sandstone as the research subject and the RMT-150C experimental system in which data is recoded by ms magnitude as the platform, develops several related models concerning the unloading rate of triangle waves. The unloading process is divided into lag time segment and non-lag time segment, with criterions and related parameters provided as well. The term apparent elastic modulus is defined. The test data analysis shows that there exist a linear relationship between the apparent modulus and instant vertical force before load damage in non-lag time segment. On the preceding basis, a rate-dependent model of triangular wave un-installation section in non-lag time segment is established. Due to the inability of the loading equipment to accurately input the triangle wave, the average loading rate is amended and a constant term is added into it. The model is proved to be reliable, as the predicted value of the deformation rate and the stress strain curve coincides with measured value. At the same time, the impact of the lag time is pointed out quantitatively and a predication model of lag time segment is set up.

The disadvantage of aerostatic bearings is their low dynamic quality. The negative impact on the dynamic characteristics of the bearing is exerted by the volume of air contained in the bearing gap, pockets, and microgrooves located at the outlet of the feeding diaphragms. Reducing the volume of air in the flow path is a resource for increasing the dynamic quality of the aerostatic bearing. This article presents an improved design of an axial aerostatic bearing with simple diaphragms, an annular microgroove, and an elastic suspension of the movable center of the supporting disk. A mathematical model is presented and a methodology for calculating the static characteristics of a bearing and dynamic quality indicators is described. The calculations were carried out using dimensionless quantities, which made it possible to reduce the number of variable parameters. A new method for solving linearized and Laplace-transformed boundary value problems for transformants of air pressure dynamic functions in the bearing layer was applied, which made it possible to obtain a numerical solution of problems sufficient for practice accuracy. The optimization of the criteria for the dynamic quality of the bearing was carried out. It is shown that the use of an elastic suspension of the support center improves its dynamic characteristics by reducing the volume of compressed air in the bearing layer and choosing the optimal volume of the microgroove.

AbstractThe calibration of conventional, hybrid and electric drivetrains is an important process during the development phase of any vehicle. Therefore, to optimize the comfort and dynamic behavior (known as driveability), many test drives are performed by experienced drivers during different driving maneuvers, e.g., launch, re-launch or gear shift. However, the process can be kept more consistent and independent of human-based deviations by using objective ratings. This study first introduces an objective rating system developed for the launch behavior of conventional vehicles with automatic transmission, dual-clutch transmission, and alternative drivetrains. Then, the launch behavior, namely comfort and dynamic quality, is compared between two conventional vehicles, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and a battery electric vehicle. Results show the benefits of pure electric drivetrains due to the lack of launch and shifting elements, as well as the usage of a highly dynamic electric motor. While the plug-in hybrid achieves a 10% higher overall rating compared to the baseline conventional vehicle, the pure electric vehicle even achieves a 21% higher overall rating. The results also highlight the optimization potential of battery electric vehicles regarding their comfort and dynamic characteristics. The transitions and the gradient of the acceleration build-up have a major influence on the launch quality.

Abstract The development of uncrewed maritime vehicles [UMVs] has the potential to increase the scale of military maritime surveillance in the exclusive economic zones of foreign coastal states. This paper considers the legal implications of the expanded use of UMVs for this purpose. It shows how features of the legal regime—namely how its application depends on determining the intent of a vessel's operation (to distinguish marine scientific research from military surveillance), as well the obligation to have due regard—have a “dynamic” quality that will pose a challenge to UMVs operated by autonomous technology. The legal obligations will require equipping UMVs with the capacity to communicate something about their identity, the purpose of their mission, and to be able to have some capacity to be responsive to the economic and environmental interests of the coastal state.

A sliding mode controller for semi-active suspension system of a quarter car is designed with sliding model varying structure control method. This controller chooses Skyhook as a reference model, and to force the tracking error dynamics between the reference model and the plant in an asymptotically stable sliding mode. An equal near rate is used to improve the dynamic quality of sliding mode motion. Simulation result shows that the stability of performance of the sliding-mode controller can effectively improve the driving smoothness and safety.

An examination of the steps in systems design reveals it to be an iterative process. The complexity and dynamic quality of the educational environment require designers of educational technology systems to emphasize this process and at the same time take into account conditions within the education system and the community that provide essential data. Examples of attempts to cope with these features of the design processes are presented along with implications for changes in the approach to the design of educational technology systems.
