John Dewey (1859-1952) was one of the foremost developers of American Pragmatism. Along with Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, he took the open, experimental, and practical nature of technoscientific inquiry to be the paradigmatic example of all inquiry. For Dewey, all inquiry is similar in form to techno scientific inquiry in that it is fallibilistic, resolves in practice some initial ...

Emissions from residential solid fuel burning in densely populated low-income settlements is a significant source of air pollution over the South African Highveld. The area and highly industrialized, resulting high concentrations pollutants area. Although emissions industrial sources are much larger, exposure to household poses most risk human health. Interventions aimed at reducing on Highveld...

Different types of iron oxides deposits have been identified along the Khaf – Dorouneh volcanic and plutonic belt in north east of Iran. Kuh-e-Zar is one of these ore deposits known as Fe- oxide gold deposit. The main purpose of this paper is to detect and discriminate the iron oxide minerals in this area based on the ETM+ data. Data processing has been done by ENVI (Environment for Visualizing...

In this lecture, we will cover amortized analysis, which is a method where we consider the average work done over an entire sequence of operations instead of just considering the worst-case cost/time for a single operation; by doing such an analysis, we can obtain tighter bounds in scenarios when expensive operations occur rarely enough that we can charge their cost to more frequent inexpensive...

Pomegranate fruit, like other types of fresh horticultural produce, are susceptible to high incidence preharvest and postharvest losses waste. Several studies have been done improve the production handling pomegranate fruit meet market standards, but little has in loss quantification, especially early stage value chain such as packhouse. Therefore, aim this study was quantify magnitude at packh...

ν = q · P M = E − E is the lepton’s energy loss in the nucleon rest frame (in earlier literature sometimes ν = q · P ). Here, E and E′ are the initial and final lepton energies in the nucleon rest frame. Q = −q2 = 2(EE′−−→k · −→k )−ml −ml′ where ml(ml′) is the initial (final) lepton mass. If EE′ sin(θ/2) ≫ m2l , m2l′ , then ≈ 4EE′ sin(θ/2), where θ is the lepton’s scattering angle with respect ...

This lagrangian is, of course, invariant under SO(N), rotations of φ in the N dimensional internal space. φj(x) → Ojkφk(x), with O an orthogonal matrix, which leaves ∑ φ invariant. Notice that the mass term has the wrong sign. Had that sign been minus, with a + in the potential energy, the potential’s absolute minimum would have been at ~ φ = 0, the classical vacuum would be at ~ φ = 0, and the...
