description: What can philosophy say about future and what is future of philosophy itself? This issue deals with the problematic nature of futurity on ontological, epistemological, ethical, and aesthetical levels. From analyzing the contemporary takes on the future to re-evaluating classic and modern traditions of thought about what is to come, the contributors engage in a rigorous discussion which often calls for an interdisciplinary approach as well as urges for openness of thought. Although different in their topics, objects, and methodology, the contributions to this special issue prove once again that raising the question of the future in philosophy leads to rethinking the future of philosophy itself, be it in the form of novel philosophical movements or in re-conceptualizing the traditional ones.

description: The objective of this paper is to formulate two distinct supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the Gauss-Weingarten and Gauss-Codazzi (GC) equations for conformally parametrized surfaces immersed in a Grassmann superspace, one in terms of a bosonic superfield and the other in terms of a fermionic superfield. We perform this analysis using a superspace-superfield formalism together with a SUSY version of a moving frame on a surface. In constrast with the classical case, where we have three GC equations, we obtain six such equations in the bosonic SUSY case and four such equations in the fermionic SUSY case. In the fermionic case the GC equations resemble the form of the classical GC equations. We determine the Lie symmetry algebra of the classical GC equations to be infinite-dimensional and perform a subalgebra classification of the one-dimensional subalgebras of its largest finite-dimensional subalgebra. We then compute superalgebras of Lie point symmetries of the bosonic and fermionic SUSY GC equations respectively, and classify the one-dimensional subalgebras of each superalgebra into conjugacy classes. We then use the symmetry reduction method to find invariants, orbits and reduced systems for two one-dimensional subalgebras for the classical case, two one-dimensional subalgebras for the bosonic SUSY case and two one-dimensional subalgebras for the fermionic SUSY case. We find explicit solutions of these reduced SUSY systems, which correspond to different surfaces immersed in a Grassmann superspace. Within this framework for the SUSY versions of the GC equations, a geometrical interpretation of the results is discussed.

description: This contribution aims to investigate the relationship between the Hegelian thesis of the end of art and the Heideggerian concept of Kunstlosigkeit: This comparison helps to understand why Heidegger considers Hegel the fulfillment of Western aesthetics: the knowledge of the lack of art, which Hegel has reached, is in fact only possible, according to Heidegger, when metaphysics, having reached its fulfillment, turns back and retraces its steps, as the Hegelian system does. Hegel’s thesis, as the definitive metaphysical thesis on art, remains in force as long as the domination of metaphysics endures. In contrast to that thesis, however, according to Heidegger, Hölderlin’s poetic word stands out, as the only testimony to the possibility of overcoming metaphysics and aesthetics. The closeness between Hegel and Hölderlin, between the end of metaphysics and the beginning of a new thought, thus hides an ambiguity that even Heidegger did not fully investigate.

Is Gadamer a Realist?
Creators: name: Okada, Yusuke
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2019

description: Although Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics has been accused of relativism, there have been several attempts to interpret his position as realism. Among them, the theory ofWachterhauser’s “perspectival realism” offers a convincing reading. In this paper, however, it is demonstrated that Gadamer is not a realist in the normal sense by comparing Wachterhauser’s theory and Gadamer’s original text of Truth and Method. Although Wachterhauser captures the bipolar structure of Gadamer’s argument regarding one reality and plural perspectives, he fails to grasp Gadamer’s emphasis by overstressing the accessibility of reality, whereas Gadamer limits himself to perspectives which maintain that reality is nothing other than a continuity of these perspectives. The concept of reality, or in Gadamer’s own term, the “world–in–itself,” should not be used “constitutively” but “regulatively” in the Kantian sense: An objective statement about it should be avoided; rather, it works as the focus imaginarius of the linguistic perspectives. Gadamer’s attitude towards Kant is also discussed in this context: AlthoughWachterhauser claims that Gadamer is anti–Kantian in his orientation, it is shown that Gadamer shares the principal spirit of critical philosophy with Kant, namely not taking phenomena as thing–in–itself. The reason that Gadamer did not take the last step to realism is, in the end, interpreted as his radical attitude of docta ignorantia, which warns against dogmatism and maintains a hermeneutic openness to the other possibility

description: A Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric system with periodically varying-in-time gain and loss modeled by two coupled Schrodinger equations (dimer) is studied. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to a perturbed pendulum-like equation. This is done by finding two constants of motion. Firstly, a generalized problem using Melnikov type analysis and topological degree arguments is studied for showing the existence of periodic (libration), shift periodic (rotation), and chaotic solutions. Then these general results are applied to the PT-symmetric dimer. It is interestingly shown that if a sufficient condition is satisfied, then rotation modes, which do not exist in the dimer with constant gain-loss, will persist. An approximate threshold for PT-broken phase corresponding to the disappearance of bounded solutions is also presented. Numerical study is presented accompanying the analytical results.

description: Aristotle affirms that Eleatic philosophy is close to madness because it denies becoming and multiplicity, which are attested by experience. This judgment is without exception in case of Zeno and Melissus; instead it would seem inadequate for Parmenides who, according to Aristotle himself, in the “third way” attributes some relevance to the experience. Through a detailed analysis of Eleatic arguments and of Aristotle’s objections it is shown that the judgment of proximity to madness also strikes Parmenides because in reality the relevance that this philosopher attributes to experience and to nature’s knowledge is bogus: in fact this knowledge is the object of « doxa », although true, and not of « science », as for Aristotle is physics.

description: We study the warping and tearing of a geometrically thin, non-self-gravitating disk surrounding binary supermassive black holes on an eccentric orbit. The circumbinary disk is significantly misaligned with the binary orbital plane, and is subject to the time-dependent tidal torques. In principle, such a disk is warped and precesses, and is torn into mutually misaligned rings in the region, where the tidal precession torques are stronger than the local viscous torques. We derive the tidal-warp and tearing radii of the misaligned circumbinary disks around eccentric SMBH binaries. We find that in disks with the viscosity parameter, alpha, larger than a critical value depending on the disk aspect ratio, the disk warping appears outside the tearing radius. This condition is expressed as alpha > sqrt{H/3r} for H/r ~<0.1, where H is the disk scale height. If alpha < sqrt{H/3r}, only the disk tearing occurs because the tidal warp radius is inside the tearing radius, where most of disk material is likely to rapidly accrete onto SMBHs. In warped and torn disks, both the tidal-warp and the tearing radii most strongly depend on the binary semi-major axis, although they also mildly depend on the other orbital and disk parameters. This strong dependence enables us to estimate the semi-major axis, once the tidal warp or tearing radius is determined observationally: For the tidal warp radius of 0.1 pc, the semi-major axis is estimated to be ~10^{-2} pc for 10^7 Msun black hole with typical orbital and disk parameters. We also briefly discuss the possibility that central objects of observed warped maser disks in active galactic nuclei are supermassive black hole binaries.

Robust light transport in non-Hermitian photonic lattices

description: Combating the effects of disorder on light transport in micro- and nano-integrated photonic devices is of major importance from both fundamental and applied viewpoints. In ordinary waveguides, imperfections and disorder cause unwanted back-reflections, which hinder large-scale optical integration. Topological photonic structures, a new class of optical systems inspired by quantum Hall effect and topological insulators, can realize robust transport via topologically-protected unidirectional edge modes. Such waveguides are realized by the introduction of synthetic gauge fields for photons in a two-dimensional structure, which break time reversal symmetry and enable one-way guiding at the edge of the medium. Here we suggest a different route toward robust transport of light in lower-dimensional (1D) photonic lattices, in which time reversal symmetry is broken because of the {\it non-Hermitian} nature of transport. While a forward propagating mode in the lattice is amplified, the corresponding backward propagating mode is damped, thus resulting in an asymmetric transport that is rather insensitive to disorder or imperfections in the structure. Non-Hermitian transport in two lattice models is considered: a tight-binding lattice with an imaginary gauge field (Hatano-Nelson model), and a non-Hermitian driven binary lattice. In the former case transport in spite of disorder is ensured by a mobility edge that arises because of a non-Hermitian delocalization transition. The possibility to observe non-Hermitian delocalization induced by a synthetic 'imaginary' gauge field is suggested using an engineered coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) structure.

Indeterminismo e metafisica naturale
Creators: name: Massimo, Mariani
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2019

description: Physical indeterminism and natural metaphysics — The determinism-indeterminism dichotomy is part of the most burning issues of our time with important philosophical, scientific, ethical and juridical consequences, in particular on the mind–body problem and on free will. Indeterminism begins as a problem of measurement evolving, then, as an ontological problem, whose repercussions have influenced large categories of contemporary culture. However, being a problem that involves the global reality of man, there is the risk of dealing in a generic way with issues and protagonists of a debate that, due to its vastness and depth, can only be tackled from a specific point of view. Beyond the inevitable introductory notes of a general nature, therefore, attention will focus on the field of natural philosophy and the epistemology of physical indeterminism.

Come la sfera d’un eterno istante

Publisher: name: Trópos

description: The image of the sphere, through which Parmenides characterizes being (Parm. 28 B 8.42–49 Diels–Kranz), can be interpreted as alluding to a monism not excluding difference and plurality, that is implying an eminently relational notion of being. This interpretation can be supported by explicating the Parmenidean sphere as an infinite, but definite sphere whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is unlocalizable. This sphere namely constitutes a plural and dynamic unity in which every component through manifesting itself instantly manifests all other components as well as the totality of the sphere. The here intended dynamic unity — which, in order to avoid any spatialization, has to be represented as rhythm and harmony transcending space and time — can give a valuable help in the effort of understanding the experience of thinking presupposed by Parmenides, since it illustrates in a very productive way the inseparability of subject and object of thinking to which Parmenides seems to point. The vitality of the experience which can be discovered through the aforesaid illustration indicates that the legacy of Parmenides’ philosophy can still nowadays perceived as actual.

description: The downgrading of the becoming as outward seeming, rather than the proclamation of the being as inward reality, is the still challenging legacy of the Eleatic school. Moving from this issue, I firstly propose a modernized version of the dispute on becoming between the Eleatic philosophers and Heraclites. A logical analysis of becoming will be aimed at showing the inconsistencies unavoidably produced when an analytical formulation of becoming is pursued. Then, a change of perspective on becoming is explored, from the classical, ontological (and logical), perspective to a phenomenological one, arguing that the problem of “what is” becoming should be, ultimately, left to physics. The starting point of the phenomenological analysis of becoming will be the theory of time in consciousness by Edmund Husserl. The Husserl’s phenomenology of time will be the framework of an analysis of event as a consciousness’ production, as the consciousness’ construction of becoming, to the extent that events are to be considered as “temporal object”, produced by the intentionality of the consciousness, focused on time. Modal categories will then be briefly considered from the phenomenological standpoint. In the conclusion, I propose a reinterpretation of the Eleatic notion of being in the phenomenological context: the inconsistencies raise when becoming is thought by means of the linguistic–logical categories, while in that context being and becoming are no longer conflicting.

description: Many existing studies on pattern formation in the reaction-diffusion systems rely on deterministic models. However, environmental noise is often a major factor which leads to significant changes in the spatiotemporal dynamics. In this paper, we focus on the spatiotemporal patterns produced by the predator-prey model with ratio-dependent functional response and density dependent death rate of predator. We get the reaction-diffusion equations incorporating the self-diffusion terms, corresponding to random movement of the individuals within two dimensional habitats, into the growth equations for the prey and predator population. In order to have to have the noise added model, small amplitude heterogeneous perturbations to the linear intrinsic growth rates are introduced using uncorrelated Gaussian white noise terms. For the noise added system, we then observe spatial patterns for the parameter values lying outside the Turing instability region. With thorough numerical simulations we characterize the patterns corresponding to Turing and Turing-Hopf domain and study their dependence on different system parameters like noise-intensity, etc.

description: Multiple Signals of Opportunity (multi-SoOp) across different frequencies and polarizations offer a potential breakthrough for remote sensing of root-zone soil moisture (RZSM). Deeper penetration depths of existing communication transmissions in the frequency ranges of 137–138, 240–270, and 360–380 MHz enable the estimation of RZSM by complementing global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) in L-band. The small form factor of the multi-SoOp observatory allows for high spatiotemporal coverage of RSZM by a satellite constellation in a cost-effective manner. This study aims to develop models and tools to define mission requirements for various system parameters that affect observation accuracy and coverage, for the advancement of spaceborne multi-SoOp remote sensing. These parameters include frequency and polarization combinations, observation error, inter-frequency temporal coincidence, and configuration of the satellite constellation. We present the development of a retrieval algorithm and the sensitivity analysis of retrieval accuracy. The retrieval algorithm was evaluated using synthetic observations generated from multiyear time series of in-situ soil moisture (SM) and satellite-based vegetation data. The combined use of both high and low frequencies improves retrieval accuracy by limiting uncertainties from vegetation and surface SM and providing sensitivity to deeper layers. A bivariate model, derived from the sensitivity analysis, facilitates error prediction for future science missions. We introduce a framework for tradespace exploration of the multi-SoOp satellite constellation. A constellation design study indicates that a Walker constellation comprising 24 satellites with 3 orbital planes at 500 km and 50° inclination optimizes the coverage and mission cost under mission requirements. A tower-based field experiment validated the performance of a prototype antenna for multi-SoOp using the interference pattern technique. More field experiments with improved instruments are required to further advance the multi-SoOp technique.
Cantor’s Principle of Finitism or the Actualization of Infinite Potentialities

description: The paper sets forth a critique of Georg Cantor’s philosophical justifications for the introduction of transfinite numbers, and thus actual infinities, in his set theory. “Critique” here has a twofold meaning: 1) the investigation concerns the conditions of possibility of set theory and not its strictly mathematical content, and 2) it consists in a pars destruens of Cantor’s “dogmatic” defense of his opaque mathematical entities. It is based on the examination of the classical definition of set given by Cantor in his 1883 foundational work, and it is developed through the analysis of some crucial conceptual pairs: one and many, completeness and incompleteness, totality and variability, and especially actuality and potentiality.

DEVELOPMENT OF A LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE ANTAGONIST FOR THE TREATMENT OF SEPSIS

description: Sepsis and septic shock are life-threating conditions, which resulted from a continuum of the body’s response to overwhelming infection. Elimination of bacteria through antibiotics is not sufficient, because the host is still left with a large amount of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that prevents the host immune system from returning to normal homeostasis. Synthetic LPS antagonists that can bind to LPS via electrostatic and/or hydrophobic interactions cause systemic toxicities. Moreover, LPS elimination alone may not address already established complications of sepsis. To address these challenges, we propose to develop nanoparticle formulations of LPS antagonists (D-TZP) that can be delivered systemically. Specifically, cholecalciferol (vitamin D) was encapsulated in a self-assembly of tannic acid/Fe3+ coordination complex (pTA) capsule, forming a core that could be surface-modified with LPS adsorbents, such as low molecular weight succinylated chitosan (LMZWC) and polymyxin B (PMB). D-TZP suppressed pro-inflammatory effects of LPS on the engineered human monocytes with significantly less cytotoxicity than free PMB at the equivalent dose. D-TZP increased the maximum tolerated dose of PMB by both intraperitoneal and intravenous administration. In the LPS-induced mouse model of sepsis, systemic administration of D-TZP immediately after LPS challenge neutralized the lethal effect of LPS. D-TZP also reduced the mortality of mice when given 2 h after the LPS challenge. D-TZP inhibited the mortality in the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced bacteremia mouse model when given IV 2 h after the insult. In the CLP model, the D-TZP-treated animals also showed lower levels of both TNF-α and IL-10 cytokines as well as D-dimer levels, reflecting the attenuation of disseminated intravascular coagulation, compared to the vehicle-treated control group. Collectively, these results support that the D-TZP is a safe and effective systemic intervention of sepsis.

We are going to try to think about the places of the Parmenides from Elea Poem in Martin Heidegger’s interpretations through mainly “Moira” and the Platon: Sophistes Course, while we follow important notions (ἐόν/ἐόντα, δοκοῦντα) in the increasing attention to the Poem in the author’s work. We are going to give especially attention to the problematic plexus that guides the possible heideggerian interpretations of εῖναι μὴ ἐόντα in the Poem. Finally we will study its relationship with the notion of “fate” (Moira in the Poem).

description: The purpose of this article is to describe the methods and results used to establish the district capacity assessment’s (DCA) content validity, response process validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability. The DCA measures a district’s ability to support school-level implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). Assessment results are then used to guide action planning. The DCA is grounded in the understanding that districts must develop knowledge and skills in the use of implementation science methods if they are to support successful use of an innovation. Specifically, three studies were conducted. The first study established the DCA’s content validity, that is, the extent to which the DCA represents constructs comprising district-level implementation capacity. The second study established the DCA’s internal structure, or the relationships among the items compared to the constructs being measured and how well the items measured the same construct. The third and final study assessed how the results of the DCA varied over time, thus establishing the instrument’s test–retest reliability. District Implementation Teams, researchers, or facilitators who use the DCA can be confident that the assessment is founded on research drawing from implementation science practices and methods.

description: The design of high-performance squirrel-cage induction motors (IMs) entails the capability to predict the motor efficiency map with high accuracy over an operating range. In particular, modeling high-frequency rotor bar currents becomes important for loss analysis in high-speed applications. In theory, it is possible to analyze an IM using time-stepping finite element analysis (TS-FEA); however, this is not viable due to computational limitations. To bridge this gap, we set forth a computationally efficient method to predict the rotor cage loss. This is achieved by coupling magnetostatic FEA with an extended qd-circuit model of the cage. The circuit model is derived in a synchronously rotating reference frame. The proposed IM model includes the effects of saturation, winding and slot harmonics, as well as nonuniform current distribution in the rotor bars. The proposed model is validated by comparing the estimated cage loss and computational effort against a 2-D nonlinear TS-FEA. The proposed electromagnetic model is finally coupled to a linear thermal model to predict IM performance over an operating range and the results are validated using experiments. The proposed model is further extended to identify detailed flux density waveforms in the iron to estimate core loss. The flux density waveforms are obtained by conducting a set of magnetostatic FEA studies using the derived rotor bar currents.

Parmenide in Damascio

description: This paper aims to examine the references to Parmenides’ doctrine in Damascius’s masterpiece De primis Principiis. Through the analysis of the concept of henomenon, i.e. the Unified, which is the being in its original unity, it is possible to understand which meaning Damascius ascribes to the Parmenidean ontological monism. He tries to overcome some aporetic problems concerning the Neoplatonic conception of the uni–multiplicity of being. He highlights the constitutive aporias of Neoplatonic metaphysics in its speculative development. Some of them seem ultimately to be due precisely to the postulation of the intrinsic multiplicity of being. This reveals further and indirectly the incontrovertible and ironclad logic of Parmenides’ ontological monism.

description: Studies document inequitable tobacco retailer density by neighborhood sociodemographics, but these findings may not be robust to different density measures. Policies to reduce density may be less equitable depending on how the presence of store types differs by neighborhood characteristics. We built a 2018 list of probable tobacco retailers in the United States and calculated four measures of density for all census tracts (N = 71,495), including total count, and number of retailers per 1,000 people, square mile, and kilometers of roadway. We fit multivariable regression models testing associations between each density measure and tract-level sociodemographics. We fit logistic regression models testing associations between sociodemographics and the presence of a tobacco-selling pharmacy or tobacco shop. Across all measures, tracts with a greater percentage of residents living below 150% of the federal poverty level (FPL) had higher density. A higher percentage of Black residents, Hispanic or Latino residents, and vacant housing was inconsistently associated with density across measures. Neighborhoods with a greater percentage of Black residents had a lower odds of having a pharmacy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI; 0.95, 0.97]) and tobacco shop (aOR = 0.87, CI [0.86, 0.89]), while those with a greater percentage of residents living below 150% FPL had greater odds of having a tobacco shop (aOR = 1.18, CI [1.16, 1.20]). Researchers and policymakers should consider how various measures of retailer density may capture different aspects of the environment. Furthermore, there may be an inequitable impact of retailer-specific policies on tobacco availability.

description: Pur in diversi momenti storici assai distanti fra loro, la tradizione filosofica occidentale ha intrattenuto con Parmenide un rapporto travagliato, a tratti esplicitamente conflittuale, con il comune intento di osteggiare la presunta pretesa autocratica di un pensiero totalizzante, insensibile alla varietà proteiforme che popola il mondo. Pur nel tentativo di restituire consistenza ontologica alla molteplicità, non pochi autori si sono tuttavia resi conto dell'inconfutabilità della sentenza eleatica, restituendola immutata. Il volume raccoglie contributi eterogenei che ripercorrono l'aporia appena accennata, affrontando altresì tematiche collaterali strettamente implicate, tra cui la relazione finito/infinito, identità/differenza, libertà/necessità. Da essi traspare una vividezza comune, un'effervescenza creativa che con ragione, come alcuni degli autori si sforzano di comprovare, potrebbe dirsi eleatica a discapito dell'usuale vulgata che stigmatizza il parmenidismo come un sistema claustrofobico, immotivatamente votato a un quietismo cadaverico.

description: The recent advances in flexible piezoelectric technologies have sparked a great interest in developing multifunctional next-generation transducers and actuators that are increasingly becoming high demand for a range of challenging applications, including self-powered structural and personal health monitoring systems to flexible loudspeaker devices. In this research, novel quasi 1–3 piezoelectric nanocomposites are introduced with record-high piezoelectric voltage coefficients (g33), reaching up to 0.709 Vm N−1 (approximately 20 percent greater than the recently reported highest g33 value in the literature). These materials are produced via dielectrophoretic process where both piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are simultaneously aligned in a silicone-based polymer matrix (polydimethylsiloxane—PDMS) at a range of concentrations up to 13 vol%, leading to densely structured cone-shaped "nanocolumn forests" in the thickness direction. It is shown that the electric field induced alignment of particles not only improves the overall piezoelectric properties of the composite at relatively low filler concentrations, but also increases the transparency of the system by enabling the light to travel with little scattering or absorption in the “Z” direction through the particle depleted zones created between micro- and nano-sized columns. The details of these unique column morphologies are investigated by various off-line and on-line characterization techniques such as microcomputed tomography—microCT and real-time light transmission measurements to better understand the effect of both material (i.e., concentration) and process-based parameters (e.g., electric field, frequency) on pearl-chain formation. To show its versatility and high-performance, the applications comprising both direct (e.g., force sensing, energy harvesting, structural and personal health monitoring) and inverse (e.g., loudspeaker) piezoelectric effect are also demonstrated and extensively characterized. Additionally, to demonstrate the scalability of the process, large-area samples are also produced via the continuous dielectrophoretic process (utilizing a novel 44 ft long custom designed multifunctional roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing line), resulting in the largest single piece piezoelectric films ever reported in the literature.

description: HD 95086 is a young early-type star that hosts (1) a 5 MJ planet at the projected distance of 56 AU revealed by direct imaging, and (2) a prominent debris disk. Here we report the detection of 69 um crystalline olivine feature from the disk using the Spitzer/MIPS-SED data covering 55-95 um. Due to the low resolution of MIPS-SED mode, this feature is not spectrally resolved, but is consistent with the emission from crystalline forsterite contributing 5% of the total dust mass. We also present detailed analysis of the disk SED and re-analysis of resolved images obtained by Herschel. Our results suggest that the debris structure around HD 95086 consists of a warm (175 K) belt, a cold (55 K) disk, and an extended disk halo (up to 800 AU), and is very similar to that of HR 8799. We compare the properties of the three debris components, and suggest that HD 95086 is a young analog of HR 8799. We further investigate and constrain single-planet, two-planet, three-planet and four-planet architectures that can account for the observed debris structure and are compatible with dynamical stability constraints. We find that equal-mass four-planet configurations of geometrically spaced orbits, with each planet of mass 5 MJ, could maintain the gap between the warm and cold debris belts, and also be just marginally stable for timescales comparable to the age of the system.

Messianesimo e teologia politica.

description: Messianism and Political Theology. The katechon between Jacob Taubes and Carl Schmitt. The aim of this paper is to investigate the link between aesthetics and politics nested in the image of the katechon evoked by Paul in the second letter to the Thessalonians. An image which apparently alludes to the restraining force which holds this world delaying the Second Coming. My purpose is to show how the image of the katechon has become conceptually intermixed with a symbolic and figurative legitimation of political power. While Carl Schmitt held the passage on the katechon to ground the Christian doctrine of state power as an alternative to nihilism, Jacob Taubes reading of Pauline messianism shows how the katechon can be considered as a conservative force. This article focuses on the recurrence of katechon in contemporary continental philosophy in opposition at the alarming announcement that the End is now

description: Aluminum (Al) alloys have been widely used in industry as light-weight structural materials. However, the mechanical strength of the strongest Al alloys is still much lower than most high-strength steels. This thesis aims to investigate the fabrication and mechanical behaviors of nanotwinned high-strength Al alloys and multilayers. Twin boundaries are special grain boundaries with mirror symmetry. Twin boundaries can generate slip discontinuity and block the transmission of dislocations, and serve as dislocation sources to accommodate plasticity. However, twinning in Al is rare due to its high stacking fault energy and low unstable stacking fault energy. In this thesis, we used multiple methods to introduce high-density twins into Al and achieve outstanding mechanical properties and thermal stability. Certain type of solutes can greatly increase the twin density in Al by decreasing the stacking fault energy of Al and retarding the detwinning process. Nanotwinned Al-Ni and Al-Ti binary alloys fabricated by magnetron sputtering show high strength, good deformability, and unique deformation mechanisms. Furthermore, deformation and thermal stability of binary nanotwinned Al alloys can be enhanced by adding a third or fourth solute element. Interfaces can facilitate twin formation in Al as well. High-density twins and stacking faults were introduced into Al by using Al/Ti layer interfaces. Nanotwinned Al/Ti multilayers have ultra-high strength, superb deformability and thermal stability. This thesis provides promising pathways to fabricate Al alloys and composites with high strength and good thermal stability.
