In an equally provocative editorial entitled ‘Don’t kill Hegel G. Introduction in Philosophy and History Japanese hemodialysis patients like America kills its (1832) patients’ [5], Nosé has expressed his fear that Japanese dialysis centres will soon follow the example of their American counterparts. He warned Japanese pratictioners to maintain good haemodialysis procedures despite the actual re...

We performed a sanity check of public keys collected on the web. Our main goal was to test the validity of the assumption that different random choices are made each time keys are generated. We found that the vast majority of public keys work as intended. A more disconcerting finding is that two out of every one thousand RSA moduli that we collected offer no security. Our conclusion is that the...

AIM To compare the flow rates of readily available intravenous infusion devices and to compare the effect of the addition of pressure or a needle-free intravenous connector device. METHODS Several intravenous devices with different characteristics had their flow rates determined under a standard set of conditions. The flow rates were then measured with the addition of a pressure bag to the sy...

According to Schumpeter, the creative process of economic development can be divided into the three distinguishable stages of invention, innovation (commercialization) and imitation. Following this theory, invention and innovation require different skills. This paper tests whether the invention and innovation stages should be undertaken by different agents. We also show why there is a rationale...

Although Bauer’s influence has been powerful, it has not been pervasive. There appear to be some in the economic development community on whom his message seems not to have made even a dent. A case in point is the much-acclaimed study by two World Bank economists, Craig Burnside and David Dollar (2000, henceforth BD). Relying on a panel data set of 56 countries over six 4-year periods (beginnin...

Digital filters are vastly utilized in the area of communication. A perfect digital filter efficiency is significant and hence to design a finite impulse response (FIR) favorable all wanted situations necessary. In this paper, new proposed FIR designed, fineness submitted tested terms BER then matched with another window, namely Hamming, Hanning, Blackman. The procedure done MATLAB software. It...

This paper presents a tracking control problem for fractional order multi-agent systems in the presence of uncertainties. The study takes into account problems error constraints, saturated inputs and transient response suitability. Because existing challenges, neural adaptive approach is used this study. Fractional are investigated with uncertainty constraints. A controller designed on basis dy...

Nietzsche was one of the most prominent figures of the 20th century. First considered as an artist, he was then first treated as a philosopher by Heidegger. Nietzsche is often said to represent a turning point in modern philosophy, the culmination but also the end of western philosophy. Can then Nietzsche be seen as the first post-modern philosopher? To what extent does he represent the post-mo...
