The cube root law of assembly sizes applies to first or only chambers. It says that assembly size is approximately the cube root of the country's population, because this size minimizes the workload of a representative. This quantitatively predictive logical model agrees with the world averages. Smaller countries have fewer registered parties but more party members per 1,000 population.Less

The number of seats in the European Parliament roughly equals the cube root of the population of the European Union. This theoretically based ‘cube root law of assembly sizes’ also fits most national assemblies, and it could be made the official norm for the EP. Allocation of EP seats and Council of the EU voting weights among member states has for forty years closely approximated the distribution a ‘minority enhancement equation’ predicts, solely on the basis of the number and populations of member states plus the total number of seats/voting weights. This logically founded formula could be made the official norm, so as to save political wrangling. It may also be of use for some other supranational bodies and federal second chambers.Less

This chapter is concerned with the minimum degree of the random geometric graph G(n,r), or equivalently with the threshold value of r at which the minimum degree achieves value k. Laws of large numbers are given for this threshold in cases where k is fixed or grows logarithmically, and the random points are placed in a smoothly bounded compact region in d-space with density bounded below on that region. Similar results are given when the random points are in a cube. The limiting constants depend on the minimum value of the density on the boundary, or on the interior of the region; on the cube, different types of boundary need to be considered separately.Less

This study examines the environmental consequences of rapid growth in China, focusing on the environmental consequences of rising energy use. It explores the recent past as well as potential future developments and potential policy options. The chapter is organized as follows. Section 2.2 presents a brief overview of energy use in China. It also provides projections from the US Energy Information Agency of energy use in China up to 2030 as well as projections from the G-Cubed model for carbon emissions under different assumptions about the sources of economic growth in China. As well as considering the environmental problems in China, Section 2.3 considers policy responses and some quantitative evaluation of these for greenhouse emissions.Less

This chapter focuses on how people collaborate in various kinds of multi-user virtual environments. It begins by reviewing findings on distributed work and findings about problems in collaborating in multi-user virtual environments, such as the limited field of view and in referencing objects. Next, it describes various trials which have compared how users perform the same task in different multi-user systems, including comparisons with face-to-face collaboration. Various combinations of systems, such as an immersive projection technology system linked to doing the task on a desktop computer, are also analyzed. A key finding that is reported is that an object manipulation task (putting together a Rubik's cube) can be done just as effectively by two people working at-a-distance in immersive projection technology systems as in a physical face-to-face setting. The chapter also discusses collaboration over longer periods in online virtual worlds.Less

This chapter applies the concept of ecological rationality to the context of groups and teams. A summary of agent-based computer simulations is provided in which groups integrated member opinions on the basis of a majority rule. The simulations demonstrate that the performance of a group may be strongly affected by the decision strategies used by its individual members, and specify how this effect is moderated by environmental features. Group performance strongly depended on the distribution of cue validities. When validities were linearly distributed, groups using a compensatory strategy achieved the highest accuracy. Conversely, when cue validities followed a J-shaped distribution, groups using a simple noncompensatory heuristic performed best. While these effects were robust across different quantities of shared information, the validity of shared information exerted stronger effects on group performance. Consequences for prescriptive theories of group decision making are discussed.Less

Chapter 5 combines the two preliminary models into a single connected model of the triadic universe. Their points of intersections are theorized as eight voice leading zones. Motion within a zone involves contrary motion, and is neutral; motion between zones involves either upshifting or downshifting voice leading. Upshifting and downshifting are viewed in terms of a melodic dualism which supervenes on the physically apocryphal and metaphysically obsolete harmonic dualism of much nineteenth century theory. The zones are assigned numbers, whose differences modulo 12 are equivalent to the number of semitonal work required for their constituent triads. Progressions through the connected model are traced on two related geometric layouts, the Tonnetz and Douthett’s Cube Dance, each of which has distinct advantages. Analyses focused on chromatic sequences, some of them perturbed, in music of Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Schubert, and Bruckner.Less

This chapter derives the modification of the Mayer expansion made by Ree and Hoover. Analytic expressions for the virial coefficients B2,B3, and B4 are given and Monte–Carlo results for Bn for 5 ≤ n ≤ 10 in dimensions 1 ≤ D ≤ 10 are presented. Various approximate equations of state used to ‘fit’ these coefficients are summarized. Low order virial coefficients for hard squares, cubes and hexagons are given. Open questions relating to the signs of the virial coefficients for hard spheres and discs and to the relation of virial expansions to freezing are discussed.Less

The political scientist John Gaventa’s prizewinning analysis of power and powerlessness was a foundational study in the early development of Appalachian studies. In this chapter he outlines a new, multidimensional conception of power (the “power cube”) to understand the “power of place” and the “place of power.” He suggests that effective efforts at place-based social transformation must operate on three dimensions that challenge the forms, spaces, and levels of power. He also describes how the places in which he has worked and lived, including African nations, Appalachia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, have influenced his thinking about power dynamics.Less

The Learning Cube is a simple diagnostic tool that can be used to analyze and evaluate training programs. It comprises three dimensions: (1) abstraction-concreteness; (2) direction-autonomy; (3) individual-interactive. The Learning Cube is presented in outline, with a description of its dimensions and their meanings. Action learning, which encourages the learner and the trainer to share responsibility for developing a suitable learning strategy, is characterized by a combination of concreteness, autonomy, and interaction. This was the philosophy of the China-EEC Management Program (CEMP) initiated in 1984, which contrasted with traditional Chinese views of knowledge transfer. The CEMP situation is assessed in terms of the Learning Cube, and suggestions for reconciling action learning with traditional Chinese values and skills are presented.Less

This chapter examines the development of the data-centric computer that will greatly reduce the amount of movement required in data processing. This new design puts the data, rather than the microprocessor, at the center. It will perform computations faster, make sense of large amounts of data, and be more energy efficient. In a concept called the hybrid memory cube, engineers will integrate memory with logic and messaging in dense, three-dimensional packages. The design will require ninety percent less space than today's memory chips, and seventy percent less energy. In time, memory cubes will likely have their own processors attached to them. They will be used in next-generation server farms to greatly reduce the amount of space and electricity required. Furthermore, the technology will make it possible to pack an immense amount of computing resources into smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices.Less

This chapter focuses on the wider use of intelligence tests throughout the 1920s and 1930s until they were generally superseded by David Wechsler’s scales from 1939 onward. From May 1912 to May 1916, Howard Andrew Knox and his colleagues produced an array of psychological tests to estimate mental deficiency among emigrants at Ellis Island in New York. These tests were later borrowed and adapted in the test batteries that were devised to measure intelligence. The publication of Rudolf Pintner and Donald Gildersleeve Paterson’s A Scale of Performance Tests (1917) and of Clarence Stone Yoakum and Robert Mearns Yerkes’ manual, Army Mental Tests (1920) brought many of Knox’s tests to the attention of psychologists. This chapter considers James Drever and Mary Collins’s “series of non-linguistic tests”, Harriet Babcock’s test of mental efficiency, and other performance scales of the 1930s, along with tests that measured race, ethnicity, and performance. It also describes the Wechsler Intelligence Scales and the many variants of the Cube Imitation Test before concluding with an assessment of the demise of performance scales.Less

This chapter analyzes a puzzle related to a classic problem first posed by English mathematician Percy MacMahon. MacMahon Given a palette of six colors, a 6-color cube is one where each face is one color and all six colors appear on some face. It is a straightforward counting argument to show that there are exactly thirty distinct 6-color cubes up to rigid isometry. MacMahon introduced this set of cubes and posed a number of questions about it. The most natural one—and the motivating problem for this chapter—was whether one could take twenty-seven cubes from the set and build a 3 × 3 × 3 cube where each face was one color. The chapter first provides background and terminology, including the coloring condition and a description of a useful partial order on cubes. It then applies these tools to solve the 2-color case, the 3-color problem, and the problem for frames of all sizes.Less

This chapter examines how passing is used as an educational tool in immersion-journalism narratives of race, ethnic, class, and gender passing. It analyzes six texts and one TV series spanning 1961 to 2006: Black like Me, Soul Sister,Bessie Yellowhair, Nickeled and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, Self-Made Man: One Woman’s Year Disguised as a Man, and the reality TV series Black. White. While searching for authentic truth, passing becomes a problematic tool buttressed by narrative tactics of Othering, doubling, objectivity, emotion, and the reveal. This chapter addresses how these factors work together to lean toward fluid or multiple identity constructions before ultimately supporting dominant ideologies of Truth, identity, authenticity, and the “real.”Less

This chapter sheds new light on the relevance of understanding modern warfare. Its main focus is on the connection between the changed nature of warfare and strategy, as well as measuring success in terms of the link between issues of justice and legitimacy. The discussion includes the Multidimensional Trinity Cubed (Plus), which was established by Carl von Clausewitz.

Its main focus is on the connection between the changed nature of warfare and strategy, as well as measuring success in terms of the link between issues of justice and legitimacy. The discussion includes the Multidimensional Trinity Cubed (Plus), which was established by Carl von Clausewitz. This trinity is composed of the population, the armed forces, and the government, and is considered as an important element in understanding the concepts of both success and legitimacy within modern warfare.

This chapter presents the “primitive hut” as the first ideal form of dwelling, introducing the Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Japanese rites and narratives of nomadic dislocation. To illustrate, it examines Dan Graham’s Two-Way Mirror Cylinder Cube focusing on mirror and glass pavilion sculptures. It then presents the prevalent social interaction which may lead to initiate, extend, or revive spatial resituation.Less

Chapter 3 addresses the question “Why are CPT invariance and the spin–statistics connection not derivable properties in non-relativistic quantum field theories (NQFTs)?” It first describes the difference between relativistic quantum field theories (RQFTs) and NQFTs in terms of spacetime structure. It then considers how to formulate NQFTs in each of the approaches reviewed in Chapter 1: the axiomatic approach, Weinberg’s approach, the Lagrangian approach, and the algebraic approach. Answers to the initial question are then framed within each of these approaches. The chapter ends with an analysis of the intertheoretic relations between RQFTs on the one hand, and NQFTs on the other. In particular, it considers how a speed-space contraction of the Poincaré group can provide the basis for an intertheoretic relation that maps the kinematical structure of RQFTs into the kinematical and (aspects of) the dynamical structure of NQFTs.Less

This chapter considers the basic geometrical elements which make up human attempts to subdue shapeless protean space and bring form to the world. Building upon Ching (1996) and Deleuze and Guattari (1988), it shows how organization theorists can enter a world of design provisioned with the elements of points, lines, and planes. It outlines three key dimensions which may be identified within a geometry of design possibilities and which ‘form’ an enclosed volume of intellectual space. This is presented in the form of a cube, recognizing that within a cube there are three dimensions, eight extreme points, and six planes or faces. The chapter attempts to use these elementary terms to unravel the mysteries of ‘styles of organizing’, building up a multifaceted, perhaps ‘cubist’, picture of the design envelope in which organizing takes place.Less
