Dedications to Double Deities

Unwelcome Dedications: Public Law and Private Religion in Hellenistic Laodicea by the Sea

The Seleucid Laodicea by the Sea has left us but one Hellenistic public decree (IGLS IV 1261). To the extent that scholars have paid close attention to this text it has been to support the argument that Seleucid kings ruled with a heavy hand, operating in concert with entrenched oligarchs and micro-managing through personal appointees. The decree was passed by the peligãnev, a council of elders...

On Faith and the Fear of Fatality: A review of recent research on deities and death

Although speculations about the role of fear—and fear of death in particular— in the evolutionary and psychological origins of religion have been around for millennia, it is only in the last decade or so that systematic empirical investigations on the matter have been undertaken. In this paper, we review this recent body of correlational and experimental research to assess theoretical developme...

Double Derivations, Higher Double Derivations and Automatic Continuity

Let  be a Banach algebra. Let  be linear mappings on . First we demonstrate a theorem concerning the continuity of double derivations; especially that all of -double derivations are continuous on semi-simple Banach algebras, in certain case. Afterwards we define a new vocabulary called “-higher double derivation” and present a relation between this subject and derivations and finally give some ...

Optimum design of a double-sided permanent magnet linear synchronous motor to minimize the detent force

In the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), force ripple is harmful, useless and disturbing. The force ripple is basically composed of two components: detent force and mutual force ripple. This force is influenced by the geometric parameters of the permanent magnet (PM) motors; such as width, thickness and length of the magnet poles, length and thickness of the rotor and stato...
