In 'A Theory of Social Action' (Dordrecht, 1984) Tuomela has presented the first elaborated attempt at specifying the foundations of social science in a way explicit and precise enough to meet the standards of contemporary philosophy of science. The theory is not meant to cover sociallife completely. But it is meant to cover that part which is presumed to be most genuinely human and therefore m...

We present a large set of numerical simulations aimed at investigating a behavior previously observed in earlier work, namely a significant discrepancy between the linear migration time estimate and its value as obtained from simulations, for planet masses in the range 5-15 earth masses, characteristic of the solid cores of giant planets. For such masses, numerical simulations yield a much long...

This concluding reflection of the Colloquy considers how bioeconomy, as an analytical lens, may cast light on processes colonization beyond territorial frame spatial domination, settlement, and exploitation. Examining power to colonize with special reference politics policing migration, it shows certain migrants have come serve a laboratory in quest extract value from life itself—which itself l...

The field of quantum computing has undergone significant expansion and development in recent years. A quantitative comprehensive examination the research domain is essential to comprehend trends directions field. Henceforth, current paper conducts a scientometric analysis academic literature on retrieved from Scopus database understand advances made by researchers domain. evaluates state discip...

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AU) is reemerging as a versatile tool for the study of proteins. Monitoring the sedimentation of macromolecules in the centrifugal field allows their hydrodynamic and thermodynamic characterization in solution, without interaction with any matrix or surface. The combination of new instrumentation and powerful computational software for data analysis has led to ma...

Product design involves many diverse disciplines and is often treated as an experience-based skill following an apprenticeship learning process. While this is a valuable approach, it can be greatly enhanced by analysis capabilities derived from the diversity of disciplines that contribute to design, including engineering, economics, marketing, and psychology. Quantitative models from these disc...

Online analytical processing tools facilitate interactive inspection of aggregated measures of groups of data in data warehouses. In comparative data analysis, business analysts assess measures of a group of interest against measures of a group of comparison. Judgement rules annotate comparisons with background knowledge otherwise tacit to the business analyst. Analysis rules specify comparison...

Information Technology and Infrastructure Library implementation is not well spelled out in documentation and therefore can be very challenging. In this study, a literature review is conducted to identify critical success factors (CSFs) for ITIL implementation. The CSFs are then used in an improved solution to the decision problem using Analytical Hierarchy Process. In order to validate the pro...
