Eschewing moral advocacy as a distraction, it offers a critical-rationalist defence of this objective thesis from many criticisms in ...

Although the study of classical thermoelasticity has provided information on linear systems, only recently have results on the asymptotic behavior completed our basic understanding of the generic behavior of solutions. Through systematic work that began in the 80s, we now also understand the basic features of nonlinear systems. Yet some questions remain open, and the field has lacked a comprehensive survey that explores these past results and ...

That being than which a greater cannot be conceived." Katherin A. Rogers defends this traditional approach to the living God of biblical tradition as described by the great Medieval philosophers such as Augustine, Anselm, and Aquinas. She covers key areas of contemporary contention with Medieval philosophical notions of God and includes major thinkers from all sides of the debate, but ultimately concludes that the most adequate account of the ...

Although many studies have established the connections of the inferior olivary complex, there have been relatively few studies on the morphology of this nuclear complex. On the base of the similar topographic relations and connections with the cerebellum, the inferior olivary complex is regarded as homologous in all vertebrates. We present comprehensive light microscopical qualitative and quantitative analysis of the inferior olivary complex o...

Cinderella is a unique, technically very sophisticated teachware for geometry that will be used as a tool by students learning Euclidean, projective, spherical and hyperbolic geometry, as well as in geometric research. Moreover, it can also serve as an authors' tool to design web pages with interactive constructions or even complete geometry exercises.
