Recent advances in the real-time simulation of electric machines are linked with the increase in the operation speed of the numerical models retaining the calculation accuracy. We propose utilizing the method of average voltages at the integration step (AVIS) for the design of a three-phase induction machine’s model in its natural abc reference frame. The method allows for avoiding rotational e.m.f. calculation at every step; in turn, the electromagnetic energy conversion is accounted by the change of flux-linkage. The model is integrated into the object-oriented environment in C++ for designing the computer models of electromechanical systems. The design of the model of an electromechanical system utilizing the proposed approach is explained in an example. The behavior of the numerical models of a three-phase IM has been compared for the set of conventional numerical methods as well as first- and second-order AVIS. It has been demonstrated that both first- and second-order AVIS methods are suitable tools for high-speed applications, namely, AVIS provides higher maximum possible integration step (e.g., first-order AVIS provides 4 times higher than the second-order Runge–Kutta method, and the second-order AVIS provides 2.5 times higher than the first-order method). Therefore, we consider the most preferable order of the AVIS method for the high-speed applications is the second order, while the first order may be a suitable alternative to increase the calculation speed by 30% with the acceptable decrease in the accuracy.

Abstract An earlier work by the authors presented a solution for the added ultrahigh-speed stability lobe that has been shown to exist for intermittent and other periodically time varying machining processes. That earlier first-order solution was not clearly extendible to a higher order. A more general analytical technique presented here does permit higher-order results. The solution is developed first for the case of zero damping for which a final closed-form symbolic result can be realized up to second order. More important than improved accuracy, the higher-order nature of the result confirms that there exist multiple added lobes and permits a mathematical description of their locations along the spindle-speed axis. A solution is then derived for the structurally damped case, where the first-order case permits a final closed-form symbolic result while the second-order case requires computational evaluation. The first-order result matches perfectly the previously published one, as expected. The second-order result improves accuracy, measured relative to numerical simulation results, and, more important, permits a second added lobe to be predicted. The second added lobe tends to cut into the region of the high-speed stability peak that is predicted under traditional zero-frequency (time-averaged) analyses. The damped solutions also indicate that structural damping of the dominant mode becomes virtually unimportant at ultrahigh speeds.

First Order

First order (i.e. ' once per revolution’) forced bending vibration of high speed flexible shafts is caused by the small defects of initial bend and lack of mass balance that are inevitably present in any rotor. It can be reduced to an acceptable level by modal balancing. Large modern alternator rotors are particularly sensitive to vibration and it has been found that, while accurate balancing is of cardinal importance, it is not sufficient to remove all vibration. There remains, in particular, second order (or ‘twice per revolution’) forced vibration which arises from the dual flexural rigidity that is virtually inescapable in a two-pole machine; the motion is excited by the weight of the rotor. This has now emerged as the source of considerable difficulty, largely because it can be cured only at the design stage and cannot be ‘ balanced ’. (Certain 'trimming’ modifications can be made, of course, but these present formidable problems of their own.) A theoretical treatment of the problem is given which is much less restrictive than that previously available. An analytical basis is provided for further work of a more specific nature, should it be required. The motion is examined mode by mode and various properties of second order vibration are exposed. In particular it is shown that the polar representation that has been successfully used in the analysis of first order vibration is also of value with second order vibration. This is illustrated and confirmed with results taken from a 350 MW rotor.

Abstract:The relationship between chromatically modulated stimuli and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) was considered. VEPs of normal subjects elicited by chromatically modulated stimuli were measured under several color adaptations, and their binary kernels were estimated. Up to the second-order, binary kernels obtained from VEPs were so characteristic that the VEP-chromatic modulation system showed second-order nonlinearity. First-order binary kernels depended on the color of the stimulus and adaptation, whereas second-order kernels showed almost no difference. This result indicates that the waveforms of first-order binary kernels reflect perceived color (hue). This supports the suggestion that kernels of VEPs include color responses, and could be used as a probe with which to examine the color visual system.

In Branden Thornhill-Miller and Peter Millican’s challenging and provocative essay, we hear a considerably longer, more scholarly and less melodic rendition of John Lennon’s catchy tune—without religion, or at least without first-order supernaturalisms (the kinds of religion we find in the world), there’d be significantly less intra-group violence. First-order supernaturalist beliefs, as defined by Thornhill-Miller and Peter Millican (hereafter M&M), are “beliefs that claim unique authority for some particular religious tradition in preference to all others” (3). According to M&M, first-order supernaturalist beliefs are exclusivist, dogmatic, empirically unsupported, and irrational. Moreover, again according to M&M, we have perfectly natural explanations of the causes that underlie such beliefs (they seem to conceive of such natural explanations as debunking explanations). They then make a case for second-order supernaturalism, “which maintains that the universe in general, and the religious sensitivities of humanity in particular, have been formed by supernatural powers working through natural processes” (3). Second-order supernaturalism is a kind of theism, more closely akin to deism than, say, Christianity or Buddhism. It is, as such, universal (according to contemporary psychology of religion), empirically supported (according to philosophy in the form of the Fine-Tuning Argument), and beneficial (and so justified pragmatically). With respect to its pragmatic value, second-order supernaturalism, according to M&M, gets the good(s) of religion (cooperation, trust, etc) without its bad(s) (conflict and violence). Second-order supernaturalism is thus rational (and possibly true) and inconducive to violence. In this paper, I will examine just one small but important part of M&M’s argument: the claim that (first-order) religion is a primary motivator of violence and that its elimination would eliminate or curtail a great deal of violence in the world. Imagine, they say, no religion, too.Janusz Salamon offers a friendly extension or clarification of M&M’s second-order theism, one that I think, with emendations, has promise. He argues that the core of first-order religions, the belief that Ultimate Reality is the Ultimate Good (agatheism), is rational (agreeing that their particular claims are not) and, if widely conceded and endorsed by adherents of first-order religions, would reduce conflict in the world.While I favor the virtue of intellectual humility endorsed in both papers, I will argue contra M&M that (a) belief in first-order religion is not a primary motivator of conflict and violence (and so eliminating first-order religion won’t reduce violence). Second, partly contra Salamon, who I think is half right (but not half wrong), I will argue that (b) the religious resources for compassion can and should come from within both the particular (often exclusivist) and the universal (agatheistic) aspects of religious beliefs. Finally, I will argue that (c) both are guilty, as I am, of the philosopher’s obsession with belief.

Pyridinium Ions

The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-(phenoxycarbonyl)pyridinium ions, prepared with the essentially non-nucleophilic/non-basic fluoroborate as the counterion, have been studied using up to 1.60 M methanol in acetonitrile as solvent and under solvolytic conditions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) and its mixtures with water. Under the non- solvolytic conditions, the parent and three pyridine-ring-substituted derivatives were studied. Both second-order (first-order in methanol) and third-order (second-order in methanol) kinetic contributions were observed. In the solvolysis studies, since solvent ionizing power values were almost constant over the range of aqueous TFE studied, a Grunwald–Winstein equation treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis for the parent and the 4-methoxy derivative could be carried out in terms of variations in solvent nucleophilicity, and an appreciable sensitivity to changes in solvent nucleophilicity was found.

First Approximation

Brentano’s theory of judgment serves as a springboard for his conception of reality, indeed for his ontology. It does so, indirectly, by inspiring a very specific metaontology. To a first approximation, ontology is concerned with what exists, metaontology with what it means to say that something exists. So understood, metaontology has been dominated by three views: (i) existence as a substantive first-order property that some things have and some do not, (ii) existence as a formal first-order property that everything has, and (iii) existence as a second-order property of existents’ distinctive properties. Brentano offers a fourth and completely different approach to existence talk, however, one which falls naturally out of his theory of judgment. The purpose of this chapter is to present and motivate Brentano’s approach.

In this chapter, the focus shifts from numbers to sets. Again, no first-order set theory can hope to get anywhere near categoricity, but Zermelo famously proved the quasi-categoricity of second-order set theory. As in the previous chapter, we must ask who is entitled to invoke full second-order logic. That question is as subtle as before, and raises the same problem for moderate modelists. However, the quasi-categorical nature of Zermelo's Theorem gives rise to some specific questions concerning the aims of axiomatic set theories. Given the status of Zermelo's Theorem in the philosophy of set theory, we include a stand-alone proof of this theorem. We also prove a similar quasi-categoricity for Scott-Potter set theory, a theory which axiomatises the idea of an arbitrary stage of the iterative hierarchy.
