d-spheres are defined graph theoretically and inductively as the empty graph in dimension d = −1 and d-dimensional graphs for which all unit spheres S(x) are (d−1)-spheres and such that for d ≥ 0 the removal of one vertex renders the graph contractible. Eulerian d-spheres are geometric d-spheres which can be colored with d + 1 colors. They are Eulerian graphs in the classical sense and for d ≥ ...

On microscopic scales, the crystallinity of flexible tethered or cross-linked membranes determines their mechanical response. We show that by controlling the type, number, and distribution of defects on a spherical elastic shell, it is possible to direct the morphology of these structures. Our numerical simulations show that by deflating a crystalline shell with defects, we can create elastic s...

s [of things] are complete and on earth the forms [of things] are complete, then flux and transformation become visible. 38 Zhouyi zhengyi (SSJZS), 7:1b. Translation modified slightly from Didier (1998): 294–5. John C. Didier, “In and Outside the Square,” Sino-Platonic Papers, 192, vol. 3 (September, 2009) 198 Like all of LSCQ, HNZ, and TXJ, the “Commentary” attributes a compartmentalizing, or ...

Taking as a working hypothesis happenstance haphazard character this law, it suggests that there is an absence design.

Abstract This article focuses on the Platonic version of doctrine oikeiosis set forth by Piso in Cicero’s De finibus , Book V. The aims to show that: 1) account, while clearly having Stoic features, is also consistent with eudaemonistic character Socrates’ and Plato’s ethics; 2) replacement “assimilation god”, attested a passage Anonymous Commentary Theaetetus derives from intent remove Epicure...

Locke contended that knowledge is learned from experience, taught without rather than innately known within. The notion of innate ideas has since been seen by many as ridiculous, a battle long ago waged and won in the first book Locke’s Essay Concerning Human Understanding. However, there was no fight place, for most comprehensive defence 17th century not published until 18th century. Ralph Cud...
