While mechanistic explanation and, to a lesser extent, nomological explanation are well-explored topics in the philosophy of biology, topological explanation is not. Nor is the role of diagrams in topological explanations. These explanations do not appeal to the operation of mechanisms or laws,...

It is shown that the theory of Î´-and Î¸-modifications of topological spaces (see [3]) can be generalized for the case when the topology is replaced by a generalized topology in the sense of [1].

Abstractï¿½ï¿½If $$\mathcal F$$ is an initially hereditary family of finite subsets of positive integers (i.e., if $$F \in \mathcal F$$ and G is initial segment of F then $$G \in \mathcal F$$ ) and M an infinite subset of positive integers then we define an ordinal index \alpha_{M}(...

Abstractï¿½ï¿½We study extension of operators T: E? L0([0, 1]), where E is an Fï¿½function space and L0([0, 1]) the space of measurable functions with the topology of convergence in measure, to domains larger than E, and we study the properties of such domains. The main tool is the...

This paper describes the topology optimization of thermoelastic structures, using level set method. The objective is to minimize the mean compliance of a structure with a material volume constraint. In level set method, free boundary of a structure is considered as design variable, and it is...

We introduce an alternative definition of fibrewise uniformity and discuss consequences deduced from new axioms. By modifying Jamesâ€™ definition of fibrewise uniform structure, which is a slightly strengthened one, we define a new fibrewise uniformity which is symmetric in global and...
