Commentators have contested the role of resulting harm in criminal law since the time of Plato. Unfortunately, they have neglected what may be not only the best discussion of the issue, but also the first—namely, Plato’s one-paragraph discussion in the Laws. Plato’s discussion succeeds in reconciling two, seemingly irreconcilable viewpoints that till now have been in stalemate. Thus, Plato reco...

This article reports on the application of the Planets preservation planning approach, and the supporting planning tool Plato, to a number of real-world business decisions. We present a series of related cases searching the optimal way to preserve scanned images in different organisations, and discuss observations.

The cytotoxicities of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) and of three recently developed dichloro complexes of bivalent platinum with radiosensitizing ligands [(1,2-diamino-4-nitrobenzene)dichloroplatinum(II) (Plato), trans-bis(2-amino-5-nitrothiazole)dichloroplatinum(II) (Plant), and trans-bis(2-nitroimidazole)dichloroplatinum(II) (NIPt)] were evaluated at 37 degrees C, 42 degrees C, and ...

E pistemology is one of Plato’s primary philosophical interests. In many of his dialogues, he attempted to inquire into the nature of episteme, an objective truth, by raising questions like "What is knowledge?" "What does it mean to know something?" "Is there such thing as objective truth that is universal to all human beings?" "What is the essence of knowledge?" Plato’s endeavor to examine the...

cases. In the first case, our contribution consists of mapping the problem to the mincut problem. In the second case, our contributions is the fuzzy-logic approach. In addition to those two cases, we presented a PLA partitioning technique which considers not only the delay through each sub-PLA, but also the increased loading on the stage which is driving the sub-PLA's. The last method provides ...

This essay advances a series of strong theses about Plato’s philosophy and aims to corroborate the view of Aristotle and other members of the early Academy that it was fundamentally Pythagorean. The argument reconcep tualises the literary strategies of the dialogues and thus requires some his torical stage-setting. The argument is inductive in form. This means that it gains in strength by accum...

Notwithstanding the remoteness of the perfect State, advances in an...
