Deconstructing Presence: Rethinking the Intentionality of the Subject on the Basis of the Existentiality of Dasein

Having begun from the assumption that our most fundamental way to relate to the world stems from an #I think# and that consciousness is at the center of this act, Edmund Husserl sets himself up for a very narrow and specialized view of human experience. In the end, such assumptions in the philosophical tradition and their terms often remain unquestioned and ingrained in a paradigm of discourse. My aim is to move beneath these assumptions-using Heidegger\u27s and Merleau-Ponty\u27s phenomenological work-so as to, first, explicitly undermine the scope of Husserlian intentionality at its foundation and, second, decenter the subject in contemporary phenomenological literature. An account of human experience in terms of inner intentional content, I argue, yields an incomplete and misleading picture of our human involvements and we must ultimately move beyond the subject and its logic. The way we are always already being-in-the-world and embodied in the phenomenal texture of everydayness leaves the cogito one step behind

The impact of common APSE interface set specifications on space station information systems

Certain types of software facilities are needed in a Space Station Information Systems Environment; the Common APSE (Ada Program Support Environment) Interface Set (CAIS) was proposed as a means of satisfying them. The reasonableness of this is discussed by examining the current CAIS, considering the changes due to the latest Requirements and Criteria (RAC) document, and postulating the effects on the CAIS 2.0. Finally, a few additional comments are made on the problems inherent in the Ada language itself, especially on its deficiencies when used for implementing large distributed processing and data base applications

USING BOTH SOCIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC INCENTIVES TO REDUCE MORAL HAZARD

Economists tend to focus on monetary incentives. In the model developed here, both sociological and economic incentives are used to diminish the apparent moral hazard problem existing in commodity grading. Training that promotes graders' response to sociological incentives is shown to increase expected benefits. The model suggests that this training be increased up to the point where the marginal benefit due to training equals its marginal cost. It may be more economical to influence the grader's behavior by creating cognitive dissonance through training and rules rather than by using economic incentives alone.Marketing,

Obtaining a class of Type O pure radiation metrics with a cosmological constant, using invariant operators

Using the generalised invariant formalism we derive a class of conformally flat spacetimes whose Ricci tensor has a pure radiation and a Ricci scalar component. The method used is a development of the methods used earlier for pure radiation spacetimes of Petrov types O and N respectively. In this paper we demonstrate how to handle, in the generalised invariant formalism, spacetimes with isotropy freedom and rich Killing vector structure. Once the spacetimes have been constructed, it is straightforward to deduce their Karlhede classification: the Karlhede algorithm terminates at the fourth derivative order, and the spacetimes all have one degree of null isotropy and three, four or five Killing vectors.Comment: 29 page

Type O pure radiation metrics with a cosmological constant

In this paper we complete the integration of the conformally flat pure radiation spacetimes with a non-zero cosmological constant $\Lambda$, and $\tau \ne 0$, by considering the case $\Lambda +\tau\bar\tau \ne 0$. This is a further demonstration of the power and suitability of the generalised invariant formalism (GIF) for spacetimes where only one null direction is picked out by the Riemann tensor. For these spacetimes, the GIF picks out a second null direction, (from the second derivative of the Riemann tensor) and once this spinor has been identified the calculations are transferred to the simpler GHP formalism, where the tetrad and metric are determined. The whole class of conformally flat pure radiation spacetimes with a non-zero cosmological constant (those found in this paper, together with those found earlier for the case $\Lambda +\tau\bar\tau = 0$) have a rich variety of subclasses with zero, one, two, three, four or five Killing vectors

Micro/Nanofiibras coaxiales de PLA/PEG para el encapsulamiento de microorganismos de interés biomédico y alimentario

La conservación de microorganismos viables tiene interés en diversos sectores industriales. Así, por ejemplo en la industria alimentaria, la panificación, vinicultura y cervecería entre otros requieren procesos de fermentación que son iniciados con starters o microorganismos colonizadores requeridos para la generación de biomasa. En la industria biomédica se requiere la conservación de microorganismos tipo o de referencia. En este proyecto se estudió el encapsulamiento de microorganismos de interés biomédico y alimentario en micro/nanofibras coaxiales basadas en los polímeros biodegradables poliláctida (PLA) y polietilenglicol (PEG). El encapsulamiento de microorganismos en una matriz polimérica tiene aplicaciones prácticas como facilitar su conservación, almacenamiento y transporte, además es un sistema de liberación controlada. Las fibras fueron preparadas por electrohilado (electrospinning) coaxial, lo cual permite compartimentalizar las fibras en un dominio de cubierta (shell) y otro nuclear o central (core). El PLA es un polímero hidrofóbico mientras que el PEG es hidrofílico, por tal motivo, se ha seleccionado el PEG como polímero para conformar el core de la fibra y en este dominio se encapsularan los microorganismos, y el PLA conformará la cubierta de la fibra. Así, las fibras coaxiales fueron preparadas bajo diferentes condiciones experimentales establecidas en un diseño experimental (DOE). Las micro/nanofibras obtenidas fueron caracterizadas por diversas metodologías para establecer su estructura coaxial. Luego, las fibras fueron analizadas mediante técnicas microscópicas (óptica, SEM) para determinar su morfología y sus diámetros. Finalmente se prepararon fibras coaxiales como medio de encapsulamiento de la bacteria Escherichia coli usada como modelo para estudiar la viabilidad de la bacteria durante diferentes tiempos de conservación al interior de las fibras, y la posible acción protectora de la cubierta de la fibra cuando las bacterias encapsuladas fueron sometidas a la actividad antibacteriana de la luz ultravioleta

THE EFFECT OF ROUNDING ON THE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION OF REGRADING IN THE U.S. PEANUT INDUSTRY

This article determines the effect of rounding (pointing-off) of grade percentages to the nearest whole number on the probability distribution of regrading in the peanut industry. Results show that rounding causes graders to have to regrade an extra 4% of samples even when they follow all directions and make no mistakes. When rounding was not used, the sample weight had little effect on the probability of regrading. With rounding, the probability of regrading was reduced by beginning with a larger than 500-gram sample. Thus, rounding provides an incentive to take overweight samples in order to avoid regrading. Overweight samples can overestimate the value of peanuts. A low-cost way to improve peanut grading accuracy would be to round to tenths rather than whole numbers.grading, normal-jump distribution, peanuts, regrading, rounding, Crop Production/Industries,

Abscisa de estabilidad, generación de atractores caóticos y algunas propiedades del conjunto de polinomios Hurwitz Hadamardizados

En el estudio de σp, la abscisa de estabilidad de un polinomio p(t), se obtuvieron diversas desigualdades entre la abscisa de un polinomio y su derivada, tanto en el caso Hurwitz como en el caso Schur. Utilizando las desigualdades mencionadas se obtuvieron cotas inferiores de la abscisa de polinomios intervalo Hurwitz. Además, también se desarrollo una aplicación de la abscisa de estabilidad de un polinomio p(t) de grado tres, para el estudio de la dinámica de un sistema controlado el cual tiene a p(t) como su polinomio característico asociado. Mediante la construcción de un segmento de polinomios, el cual esta caracterizado mediante un parámetro localizado en un intervalo Máximo de disipatividad e inestabilidad, se pudo generar una familia de sistemas inestables disipativos que presentan atractores caóticos (con multi-enroscados) en sus soluciones. Por otra parte, a partir de una familia de sistemas lineales de nida a trozos (por pedazos) controlada mediante una función de saturación continua de nida por pedazos se pudo generar una familia monoparametrica de atractores que presentan multi-enroscados en la dinámica de sus solución, se obtuvieron condiciones necesarias y su cientes para preservan atractores con multi-enroscados en términos de un parámetro k. También, a partir del estudio del conjunto de polinomios Hurwitz Hadamardizados se pudieron demostrar las siguientes propiedades topológicas. El conjunto de polinomios Hurwitz Hadamardizado: es abierto. es no convexo. es no acotado. con coe cientes positivos es arco-conexo. A partir del análisis de una familia de Polinomios Intervalo se pudo demostrar que si los polinomios de Kharitonov de una familia de grado cuatro son polinomios Hadamardizados entonces toda la familia esta compuesta de polinomios Hadamardizados
