In a series of papers based on analogies with statistical physics models, we have proposed that most financial crashes are the climax of so-called log-periodic power law signatures (LPPS) associated with speculative bubbles [Sornette and Johansen, 1998, Johansen and Sornette, 1999, Johansen et al., 1999, Johansen et al., 1999, Sornette and Johansen, 2001]. In addition, a large body of empirical...

Abstract The new high-choice media environment has raised concerns that users of social networking sites primarily select political information supports their opinions and avoid challenges them. This behaviour is reinforced by personalisation algorithms create filter bubbles both narrow the available content exclude challenging over time. These have, however, been contested. article underlying ...

In this research, the effect of bubble surface area flux, Sb, and particle size on flotation rate constant, k, of pyrite (FeS2) particles was studied using bubble-particle interactions. The bubble-particle collision, attachment and detachment efficiencies were calculated under different flow regimes. The k increased with increase in the collision efficiency and decreas...

How to think of the Whole? Our theoretical findings on that matter emanate from critical response D. F. Verene’s account idea Whole, which is speculative and necessary for true philosophy. As this study shows, in its essence depends upon two main criteria, ontological epistemological. Both criteria perfectly demonstrate logic supplementation, undermines original conception. We argue Whole has b...
