Since problems of ecofeminism are orientated not only towards contemporary times, but also towards future, this paper will examine the role of technique in an attempt of their resolving. Post-modern, lets call it fluid, understanding of the Being as plurality is given as an alternative to often criticized horizon of classical metaphysic (reduced on monistic or factual understanding of Being in ...

Given a set of n balls each colored with a color, a ball is said to be majority, kmajority, plurality if its color class has size larger than half of the number of balls, has size at least k, has size larger than any other color class; respectively. We address the problem of finding the minimum number of queries (a comparison of a pair of balls if they have the same color or not) that is needed...

An optical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) structure is provided. The structure includes an elastomer membrane, a plurality of polymer fibers attached to the elastomer membrane, an array of detectors operatively connected to the plurality of polymer fibers at a first end of the plurality of polymer fibers, and a microlens array operatively connected to the plurality of polymer fibers at...

The images: can we picture to ourselves, when we hear of a plurality of images, not a collection of discrete individual images but an abundance unsurveyable and without internal di!erentiation? Just as one hears in so many languages of the waters: die Wässer, les eaux. . . .

I consider informational requirements of social choice rules satisfying anonymity, neutrality, monotonicity, and efficiency, and never choosing the Condorcet loser. Depending on the number of agents and the number of alternatives, either the plurality rule or a plurality with a runoff is characterized. In some cases, the plurality rule is the most selective rule among the rules operating on the...
