Locomotion theory

Experiment 5. Over and above longitudinal influences on the form of the limit cycle, cross-sectional influences can occur, such as an influence on the frequency of one nation s cycle by the business activities in other nations (locomotion theory). The resulting strategic reactions of this one nation s investors may further distort the limit cycle, so that a modified strongly non-sinusoi-dal reaction pattern emerges this then favours or disfavours a rush into certain types of investment see Figs. 5.8 a, b. 

They get lost. Science has still not solved the mystery of how they do it, and no man has ever caught one of them in the act of getting lost. The most plausible theory is that they have developed a secret method of locomotion which they are able to conceal the instant a human eye falls upon them.

The latest developments of dry wheel-rail contact theories are used in the anti-skidding systems of locomotives to optimize the control of maximum wheel-rail adhesion. Unfortunately, these theories are limited by misunderstanding of the contact conditions.
