philosophers view the advantage of human soul over animal soul in theoretical and practical intellect. however, there is disagreement among them in stating the quiddity of these two intellects. with a deliberation on their words, at least four interpretations can be implied from these two intellects. after reporting the statements and expressing the functions of practical intellect, the article...

The purpose of this contribution is to present some examples for the use of recent data processing and visualization techniques for the study of unsteady vortical flows. The basic idea is to extract vortices, shear layers and data defining their current state from DNS data and to track their evolution in time. Some apparent signatures which help to get additional insight into the flow dynamics ...

We consider the inverse mean curvature flow in RobertsonWalker spacetimes that satisfy the Einstein equations and have a big crunch singularity and prove that under natural conditions the rescaled inverse mean curvature flow provides a smooth transition from big crunch to big bang. We also construct an example showing that in general the transition flow is only of class C.

Improvements in micro-fabrication techniques are enabling Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems to be constructed with sub-micron feature sizes. At this scale, even at standard atmospheric conditions, the flow is in the transition regime. This paper considers the range 0.1 < Kn < 1, where non-equilibrium effects can be appreciable, and specifically illustrates problems involving non-planar surfaces ...

there is an emerging consensus that caring and compassion are under threat in the frenetic environment of modern healthcare. enabling and sustaining compassionate care requires not only a focus on the needs of the patient, but also on those of the care giver. as such, threats and exhortations to health professionals are likely to have limited and perverse effects and it is to the organisational...
