چکیده
[1] Is it ethical for an employee to accept a new job knowing he will leave it as soon as a better one appears? Is it ethical for an employer to hire a new employee knowing the position will be eliminated as soon as the human resources department can find a suitable outsource? These were the types of questions being tossed about in the rear seat of my car on the way home from an "ethics breakfast."

The individualistic nature of Western Christianity is noted. The Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer is used to show Christian support for dynamic rather than literal ...
متن کاملLubricating and Waxy Esters. VI. Effect of Symmetry about Ester on Crystallization of Linear Monoester Isomers
The crystal structure development of jojoba-like esters incorporating either 1-decenoic acid and/or 1-decenol, namely octadec-9-enyl dec-9-enoate (JLE-281), and its isomer dec-9-enyl oleate (JLE-282) was investigated to reveal the effect of symmetry about the ester group on crystallization of aliphatic fatty monoesters. The phase transformation path was investigated with temperature-time resolv...
متن کاملEstimation with lossy measurements: jump estimators for jump systems
The problem of discrete time state estimation with lossy measurements is considered. This problem arises, for example, when measurement data is communicated over wireless channels subject to random interference. We describe the loss probabilities with Markov chains and model the joint plant / measurement loss process as a Markovian Jump Linear System. The time-varying Kalman estimator (TVKE) is...
متن کاملThe individual and collective dimension in bioethics
When the term “bioethics” was coined, both at its historical origin (in the works of the Lutheran pastor Jahr in 1926–27) and in its independent new birth (in the work of the American oncologist Potter in 1970), its meaning was that of a philosophical outlook in which medicine, biology, ecology and human values were brought to an integration from which the ethical imperative derived to respect ...
