Linear motors are the most demanding part of point-to-point applications, requiring careful analysis to achieve accuracy and appropriate sizing. In high-throughput applications, standard triangular or ...

For certain piecewise linear plane curves Γ and convex functions Φ we address the question of whether the maximal operator along Γ is of weak type Φ(L). For example, when Γ is the graph of the ...

A linear demand curve is a line representing the relationship between the demand for a product or service and its price. Everyone knows that sales are proportional to price: The more you charge for an ...

Demand is what the consumer can and is willing to buy at a given price over a given time period. Analyzing demand is a complicated process that takes into account many variables. Economists and ...

"The change of the infection curves from being S-shaped to a linear behavior is clearly a network effect - a dynamic very different from big superspreading events." The scientists showed that there is ...
