description: Cioran, Plato and the city of rancour
In this paper we will compare the portrait of the tyrant made by Cioran in History and Utopia with the portrait made by Plato in the Ninth book of Republic: especially we will focus on the issue of «the government of the passions». On the one side, we will underline some platonic elements which arise from Cioran’s considerations on politics and ethics; on the other side, our goal is to understand the reason why Cioran asserts the anti-platonic thesis according to which the philosopher cannot be – and will never be – a good ruler of himself. Our examination is divided into four points, concerning four theoretical aspects that can be found in Cioran and Plato: the tyrant’s unreal happiness; the metaphors of «body» and «illness» related to the structure of the soul and its passions; the similarity between «the well proportioned statue» and the philosopher’s self control; the question of the «engagement» in political life. Two very different images of «philosophy» will emerge from this analysis; both of them are “paradigmatic” answers to the platonic question: Is the philosopher the only man who can take care of himself and of others? Plato does answer affirmatively, appointing his philosopher as the only one who can rule the «multitudinous beast» of his own irrational appetites. Cioran, conversely, does assert that the philosopher is not better than any other man, by pointing out how he’s nothing but a «concoction of beast and ghost, a furious man who would live in a metaphor».

description: We introduce a new Python package PyPE for developing and conducting partial equilibrium (PE) analysis of trade policies. PyPE offers practitioners a flexible framework
to select and combine different trade model features to determine the impact of select
policies on a particular market or industry. With a user-friendly interface, PyPE allows
users to run model simulations and report results with only a few lines of code. Interested users are also encouraged to assist with PyPE development by proposing or
constructing new model features that can be incorporated within the package.

description: We propose a new experimental technique, which allows for a complete characterization of ultrashort optical pulses both in space and in time. Combining the well-known Frequency-Resolved-Optical-Gating technique for the retrieval of the temporal profile of the pulse with a measurement of the near-field made with an Hartmann-Shack sensor, we are able to retrieve the spatiotemporal amplitude and phase profile of a Bessel-X pulse. By following the pulse evolution along the propagation direction we highlight the superluminal propagation of the pulse peak.

description: El presente artículo aborda el estudio de la reparación de los daños ocasionados al medio ambiente a partir del reconocimiento del territorio como víctima del conflicto armado colombiano, incluida, la tendencia jurisprudencial sobre la categorización de la naturaleza y los recursos naturales como “sujetos de derechos” y entidad merecedora de protección en sí misma. En tal sentido, se busca evidenciar que la declaración del medio ambiente como víctima de daños y titular de derechos, optimiza la reparación del daño ambiental puro y promueve la protección de los recursos naturales a través de las garantías de no repetición.
description: The main argument of this paper is the reparation of damages caused to the nature as an entity that has its own legal rights, based on the colombian ‘court ruling’ about the recognition of ‘Rights of Nature’, in particular, this paper explores how could be the land and territories being considered as a Colombian armed conflict’s victim. On this behalf, the paper provides evidences about the positive impact that could have the expansion of ‘Rights of Nature’ to Liability in order to protect in a better way forests, native ecosystems, indigenous territories, ecc. since it promotes the protection of natural resources through guarantees of non-repetition.

Surface texture and pulsation due to balloon bursting in different liquids

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the instabilities occurring during the burst of an air balloon in a liquid. These instabilities are typical for the deformation of an interface between two fluids of different densities, similar to fingering in Rayleigh-Taylor instability (see e.g. Sharp, 1984). In the Video a series of bursts are shown for air balloons in different liquids. When the balloon tears it tracks the surface, generating wrinkles and releasing the pressure inside. Apparently, the texture of the surface during the burst becomes smoother as the viscosity increases. During the burst the surface breaks and generates several small bubbles. Furthermore, the pressure inside the balloon is higher than the external pressure before the burst; once the balloon tears the pressure is released and the generated bubbles pulsate several times (see e.g. Brennen, 1995). Such oscillations are more evident for higher internal pressures.

description: Ultra-luminous X-ray sources are extragalactic objects located outside the nucleus of the host galaxy with bolometric luminosities >10^39 erg s^-1. These extreme luminosities - if the emission is isotropic and below the theoretical (i.e. Eddington) limit, where the radiation pressure is balanced by the gravitational pressure - imply the presence of an accreting black hole with a mass of ~10^2-10^5 times that of the Sun. The existence of such intermediate mass black holes is in dispute, and though many candidates have been proposed, none are widely accepted as definitive. Here we report the detection of a variable X-ray source with a maximum 0.2-10 keV luminosity of up to 1.2 x 10^42 erg s^-1 in the edge-on spiral galaxy ESO 243-49, with an implied conservative lower limit of the mass of the black hole of ~500 Msun. This finding presents the strongest observational evidence to date for the existence of intermediate mass black holes, providing the long sought after missing link between the stellar mass and super-massive black hole populations.

description: The remarkable astrometric capabilities of Chandra offer the possibility to measure proper motions of X-ray sources with an unprecedented accuracy in this wavelength range. We recently completed a proper motion survey of three of the seven thermally emitting radio-quiet isolated neutron stars (INSs) discovered in the ROSAT all-sky survey. These INSs (RX J0420.0-5022, RX J0806.4-4123, and RX J1308.6+2127) either lack an optical counterpart or have one so faint that ground based or space born optical observations push the current possibilities of the instrumentation to the limit. Pairs of ACIS observations were acquired 3 to 5 years apart to measure the displacement of the sources on the X-ray sky using as reference the background of extragalactic or remote Galactic X-ray sources. We derive 2 sigma upper limits of 123 mas/yr and 86 mas/yr on the proper motion of RX J0420.0-5022 and RX J0806.4-4123, respectively. RX J1308.6+2127 exhibits a very significant displacement (~ 9 sigma) yielding mu = 220 +/- 25 mas/yr, the second fastest measured among all ROSAT discovered INSs. The source is probably moving away rapidly from the Galactic plane at a speed which precludes any significant accretion of matter from the interstellar medium. Its transverse velocity of ~ 740 (d/700pc) km/s might be the largest of all ROSAT INSs and its corresponding spatial velocity stands among the fastest recorded for neutron stars. RX J1308.6+2127 is thus a middle-aged (age ~ 1 My) high velocity cooling neutron star. We investigate its possible origin in nearby OB associations or from a field OB star. In most cases, the flight time from birth place appears significantly shorter than the characteristic age derived from spin down rate. The distribution in transverse velocity of ROSAT INSs is not statistically different from that of normal radio pulsars.

description: Strengthening beach sand using enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) was demonstrated. Enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is an emerging biologicallybased ground improvement technique that precipitates calcium carbonate within the pores of a granular soil via hydrolysis of urea catalyzed by free urease enzyme. In this study, samples of a natural beach sand were treated using an EICP solution at one, two, and three cycles of treatment (one pore volume per treatment cycle). Strength and carbonate content of the treated specimens were measured using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) testing and acid digestion. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate the morphology of the precipitates. The treated specimens showed average UCS of 145 kPa, 241 kPa, and 483 kPa at average carbonate content of 1.96%, 2.98%, and 3.69% (corresponding to one, two, and three cycles), respectively. Calcite was observed to be the main crystal phase in the treated specimens.

description: The accelerated expansion of the universe has now been confirmed by several independent observations including those of high redshift type Ia supernovae, and the cosmic microwave background combined with the large scale structure of the Universe. In this work we introduce families of analytical solutions for the scale factor different from the current literature. The knowledge of the scale factor behavior might shed some light on these questions since the entire evolution of a homogeneous isotropic Universe is contained in the scale factor. We use different parameters for these solutions and with these parameters we stablish a connection with the equation of state for different dark energy scenarios.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder, the incidence of which is climbing with ever-growing aged population, but no cure is hitherto available. The epidemiological studies unveiled that chronic intake of flavonoids was negatively associated with AD risk. Flavonoids, a family of natural polyphenols widely distributed in human daily diets, were readily conjugated by phase II drug metabolizing enzymes after absorption in vivo, and glucuronidation could occur in 1 min following intravenous administration. Recently, as many as 191 metabolites were obtained after intragastric administration of a single flavonoid, indicating that other bioactive metabolites, besides conjugates, might be formed and account for the contradiction between efficacy of flavonoids in human or animal models and low systematic exposure of flavonoid glycosides or aglycones. In this review, metabolism of complete 68 flavonoid monomers potential for AD treatment, grouped in flavonoid O-glycosides, flavonoid aglycones, flavonoid C-glycosides, flavonoid dimers, flavonolignans and prenylated flavonoids according to their common structural elements, respectively, has been systematically retrospected, summarized and discussed, including their unequivocally identified metabolites, metabolic interconversions, metabolic locations, metabolic sites (regio- or stereo-selectivity), primarily involved metabolic enzymes or intestinal bacteria, and interspecies correlations or differences in metabolism, and their bioactive metabolites and the underlying mechanism to reverse AD pathology were also reviewed, providing whole perspective about advances on extensive metabolism of diverse potent flavonoids in vivo and in vitro up to date and aiming at elucidation of mechanism of actions of flavonoids on AD or other central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Rev. Lett. 94, 102302 (2005), J. Phys. G34, 703 (2007), Phys. Rev. C78, 054905 (2008)]. It is found that the optical potential previously found to give the best fit of particle multiplicity and Hanbury Brown and Twiss radii in RHIC events has a moderate effect on the resulting elliptic flow coefficient v_2. This indicates that final state interactions should be taken into account to confidently predict v_2 to better than ~20% accuracy.

description: Outliers can have a major effect on the estimated transformation of the response in linear regression models, as they can on the estimates of the coefficients of the fitted model. The effect is more extreme in the Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) that are the subject of this article, as the forms of terms in the model can also be affected. We develop, describe and illustrate robust methods for the nonparametric transformation of the response and estimation of the terms in the model. Numerical integration is used to calculate the estimated variance stabilizing transformation. Robust regression provides outlier free input to the polynomial smoothers used in the calculation of the response transformation and in the backfitting algorithm for estimation of the functions of the GAM. Our starting point was the AVAS (Additivity and VAriance Stabilization) algorithm of Tibshirani. Even if robustness is not required, we have made four further general optional improvements to AVAS which greatly improve the performance of Tibshirani’s original Fortran program. We provide a publicly available and fully documented interactive program for our procedure which is a robust form of Tibshirani’s AVAS that allows many forms of robust regression. We illustrate the efficacy of our procedure through data analyses. A refinement of the backfitting algorithm has interesting implications for robust model selection. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We propose a new criterion for distinguishing the Hertz-Millis (HM) and the local quantum critical (LQC) mechanism in heavy fermion systems with a magnetic quantum phase transition (QPT). The criterion is based on our finding that the spin screening of Kondo ions can be completely suppressed by the RKKY coupling to the surrounding magnetic ions even without magnetic ordering and that, consequently, the signature of this suppression can be observed in spectroscopic measurements above the magnetic ordering temperature. We apply the criterion to high-resolution photoemission (UPS) measurements on CeCu$_{6-x}$Au$_{x}$ and conclude that the QPT in this system is dominated by the LQC scenario.

description: Context. Near-Earth asteroid-comet transition object 107P/ (4015) Wilson-Harrington is a possible target of the joint European Space Agency (ESA) and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Marco Polo sample return mission. Physical studies of this object are relevant to this mission, and also to understanding its asteroidal or cometary nature. Aims. Our aim is to obtain significant new constraints on the surface thermal properties of this object. Methods. We present mid-infrared photometry in two filters (16 and 22 microns) obtained with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope on February 12, 2007, and results from the application of the Near Earth Asteroid Thermal Model (NEATM).We obtained high S/N in two mid-IR bands allowing accurate measurements of its thermal emission. Results. We obtain a well constrained beaming parameter (eta = 1.39 +/- 0.26) and obtain a diameter and geometric albedo of D = 3.46 +/- 0.32 km, and pV = 0.059 +/- 0.011. We also obtain similar results when we apply this best-fitting thermal model to single-band mid-IR photometry reported by Campins et al. (1995), Kraemer et al. (2005) and Reach et al. (2007). Conclusions. The albedo of 4015 Wilson-Harrington is low, consistent with those of comet nuclei and primitive C-, P-, D-type asteorids. We establish a rough lower limit for the thermal inertia of W-H of 60 Jm^-2s^(-0.5)K^-1 when it is at r=1AU, which is slightly over the limit of 30 Jm^-2s^(-0.5)K-1 derived by Groussin et al. (2009) for the thermal inertia of the nucleus of comet 22P/Kopff.

Experimental taxonomy in the Epacridaceae
Creators: name: Jarman, SJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: One hundred and thirteen species or varieties were examined for the presence of flavonoids in a chemotaxonomic study of the Epacridaceae. Species were obtained from Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, New Zealand and South America. Accessions from outside Tasmania contained the same general complement of flavonoids as the Tasmanian species. The characteristic flavonoids of the Epacridaceae are anthocyanins, flavonols and leucoanthocyanidins but dihydroflavones and chalcones were also present. Five common aglycones were identified i.e. cyanidin, delphinidin, kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin but pelargonidin, malvidin and possibly isorhamnetin were also present. The results suggest that myricetin may be more widespread in nature than is normally accepted, its apparent rarity being due to its lability under the conditions used in its detection. Sugars involved in glycosylation included galactose, glucose, arabinose, xylose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid. Substitution occurred characteristically at position 3 but two flavonols were glycosylated at position 5. Methylation was rare, and 3,5-diglycosylation in anthocyanins and 3,7-diglycosylation in flavonols was not observed although 3-diglycosides were common. Four pigments including cyanidin- and delphinidin-3-rhamnosylgalactoside, cyanidin-3- xylosylarabinoside and quercetin-3-xylosylrhamnoside are reported for the first time. Several species-specific compounds were observed and particularly with flavonols, chromatographic patterns proved valuable in species identification. Glycosides were found to have greater importance taxonomically than aglycones and the ratio of the major glycosidic types appears to have phylogenetic as well as taxonomic significance. The results suggest that anthocyanin and flavonol galactosides are more advanced in the family than anthocyanin arabinosides and flavonol glucnronides respectively. A correlation between chemical and cytological data enabled an evolutionary index to be calculated for 36 species, and a chemical comparison between the two subfamilies supports the opinion that the Styphelieae is more advanced than the Epacrideae. Three genera, Epacris, Cyathodes and Monotoca, have been examined in more detail than the remaining genera, and the contribution of flavonoid compounds to their taxonomy is discussed. Two new species are described for the first time. Several numerical analyses were carried out on the chemical data and a discussion of the results is given. A comparison between the Epacridaceae and published data for the related family, the Ericaceae, reveals some pronounced chemical differences, although the two are linked by the common occurrence of anthocyanin and flavonol galactosides and arabinosides. Evidence suggests that evolution towards more complex aglycones has occurred in the Ericaceae whereas greater variation in glycosylation is apparent in the Epacridaceae.

description: The confinement of quarks in hadrons occurs due to formation of QCD string. At large separation between the quarks the QCD string breaks into pieces due to light quark-antiquark pair creation. We argue that there exist a critical background magnetic field e B ~ 16 m_π^2, above which the string breaking is impossible in the transverse directions with respect to the axis of the magnetic field. Thus, at strong enough magnetic field a new, asymmetrically confining phase may form. The effect - which can potentially be tested at LHC/ALICE experiment - leads to abundance of u-quark rich hadrons and to excess of radially excited mesons in the noncentral heavy-ion collisions compared to the central ones.

Faster transport with a directed quantum walk

description: We give the first example of faster transport with a quantum walk on an inherently directed graph, on the directed line with a variable number of self-loops at each vertex. These self-loops can be thought of as adding a number of small dimensions. This is a discrete time quantum walk using the Fourier transform coin, where the walk proceeds a distance $Θ(1)$ in constant time compared to $Θ(1/n)$ classically, independent of the number of these small dimensions. The analysis proceeds by reducing this walk to a walk with a two dimensional coin.

description: In this paper, following an elementary line of thought which somewhat differs from the usual one, we prove once more that any deterministic theory predictively equivalent to quantum mechanics unavoidably exhibits a contextual character. The purpose of adopting this perspective is that of paving the way for a critical analysis of the use of counterfactual arguments when dealing with nonlocal physical processes.

Nebular abundances in galaxies: Beware of biases

description: The derivation of nebular abundances in galaxies using strong line methods is simple and quick. Various indices have been designed and calibrated for this purpose, and they are widely used. However, abundances derived with such methods may be significantly biased, if the objects under study have different structural properties (hardness of the ionizing radiation field, morphology of the nebulae) than those used to calibrate the methods. Special caution is required when comparing the metallicities of different samples, like, for example, blue compact galaxies and other emission line dwarf galaxies, or samples at different redshifts.

The energy crisis and manufacturing output and employment : a case study of Tasmanian manufacturing in the context of Australian manufacturing
Creators: name: Hill, AH
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In the past, Tasmania was seen as having enormous, possibly unlimited supplies of hydro-electrical power. This view combined with appreciation of Tasmania's difficult economic circumstances to lend support to development of energy intensive industries, such as the COMALCO aluminium smelter at Bell Bay. This pattern of industrial development, which also relied on the initial processing of Tasmanian resources, has been described as 'hydro-industrialisation'. Over the 1970s Tasmania has shared the worldwide development of problems with energy supply, which have centered around the 1973 OPEC oil price increases and embargo. Tasmania has also developed problems surrounding its major indigenous fuel hydro-electricity. These issues have combined to produce a new energy supply situation for Tasmania; one that is marked by shortage, not abundance. The energy supply questions have arisen at the same time as pressing unemployment problems and slowing of economic growth. Since one of the major thrusts of Tasmanian economic development has been energy intensive manufacturing industry, this thesis examines the response of manufacturing to this new energy supply situation, to see how Tasmanian manufacturing energy use, employment and output have been affected. It goes on to look at changes in manufacturing production and the structure of manufacturing, in terms of three ratios: energy use to output, energy use to employment and employment to output. This examination shows the likely implications of trends in manufacturing, and manufacturing structure coming from the changed energy supply situation. The analysis shows that trends in Tasmanian manufacturing energy use, energy intensity, production process and structure are largely a continuation of past trends. They have not shown a strong response to changes in energy supply over the 1970s. Continuation of these-trends is likely to have important social implications for the stability of economic growth and employment in Tasmania, as well as being significant for future energy policy.

description: We present the results of a lattice QCD calculation of the pseudoscalar meson decay constants fpi, fK, fD and fDs, performed with Nf=2 dynamical fermions. The simulation is carried out with the tree-level improved Symanzik gauge action and with the twisted mass fermionic action at maximal twist. We have considered for the final analysis three values of the lattice spacing, a~0.10 fm, 0.09 fm and 0.07 fm, with pion masses down to mpi~270 MeV. Our results for the light meson decay constants are fK=158.1(2.4) MeV and fK/fpi=1.210(18). From the latter ratio, by using the experimental determination of Gamma(K-->mu nu_mu (gamma))/ Gamma(pi--> mu nu_mu (gamma)) and the average value of |Vud| from nuclear beta decays, we obtain |Vus|=0.2222(34), in good agreement with the determination from semileptonic Kl3 decays and the unitarity constraint. For the D and Ds meson decay constants we obtain fD=197(9) MeV, fDs=244(8) MeV and fDs/fD=1.24(3). Our result for fD is in good agreement with the CLEO experimental measurement. For fDs our determination is smaller than the PDG 2008 experimental average but in agreement with a recent improved measurement by CLEO at the 1.4 sigma level.
