The Legacy of Idealism erörtern. Abschließend (3.) werde ich auf die Gegentendenz zur antimetaphysischen Deutung in der zeitgenössischen Hegel-Rezeption hinweisen und zeigen, dass sowohl die Autoren (wie Pippin und Pinkard), die versuchen, die Metaphysik aus der Hegeischen Philosophie zu beseitigen, als auch diejenigen (vgl. z. B. Beiser), die auf die zentrale Rolle der Metaphysik in der Philosophie Hegels hinweisen, einige Missverständnisse bezüglich des Metaphysik- und Geistbegriffs teilen

DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER MONITORING FOR WIRELESS DEPLOYMENTS

Using machine learning (ML) to make observations of network operations is faced with many constraints, including collection constraints, storage constraints, and processing constraints. Additionally, in many instances, data collected from a network may be unusable and will incur collection, storage, and processing costs with potentially limited return. Presented herein are techniques through which pre-filtering tasks can be distributed to wireless access points (APs) to highlight valuable metrics and learn from network deployments

Manometric monitoring of biological denitrification

A simple, automated manometric method is here discussed and applied to perform batch experiments for the stoichiometric and kinetic characterization of biological denitrification. The main strength of the proposed methodology is that it requires simple instrumentation, which is usually available in wastewater treatment plant laboratories, being it used in BOD and in BMP tests. The experimental setup consists of a glass bottle, a mixing and termostated system and a manometric bottle-head which can measure and log the overpressure that is caused by denitrified N2. At first, tests were conducted to determine the repeatability of the method; they were performed under low Food-to-Biomass ratio and with both endogenous and externally dosed carbon sources. Later, experimental procedures were performed to assess (1) the anoxic growth yield, (2) the endogenous anoxic decay rate; (3) the anoxic growth rate on acetate; (4) the fraction of anoxic active biomass in the sludge sample. Sludge samples for all these tests were taken from two WWTPs and 6 to 10 replicates were performed each time. Results indicated that the testing procedures is well repeatable and reliable and resulting estimates were within reported literature values

Humour in Art Therapy

Abstract Humour in Art Therapy Lindsay Ficara This qualitative research paper uses theoretical data in an attempt to understand the use of humour in art therapy primarily with an adult population suffering from a psychiatric disorder. The existing literature on the use of humour in the fields of psychotherapy, psychiatry, psychology, creative arts therapies, occupational therapy, and counselling informs this theoretical research. The focus of the research is currently underdeveloped, therefore, the objectives are to provide a synopsis of the variety of humour approaches that has been used in therapy and to highlight the opportunities and challenges of using humour in art therapy. This research paper includes an examination of representations of humour as well as therapeutic humour. Neurological responses to humour and humour development are explored. Finally, further thoughts on the reviewed literature as well as recommendations for future areas of research are offered

Optimizing resource recovery from wastewater with algae-bacteria membrane reactors

Exploiting the combination of algae and bacteria in High Rate Algal/Bacterial Ponds (HRABP) is an emerging approach for wastewater remediation and resource recovery. In this study, the advantage of adding a solid/liquid separation system to uncouple Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) and Solid Retention Time (SRT) is explored and quantified. A long-term validated model for HRABP was run to simulate and optimize a system at large scale treating digestate. It is shown that by uncoupling HRT and SRT, adapting the liquid depth and the alkalinity content, the algae productivity increases from 9.0 to 14.5 g m(-2) d(-1) (for HRT = SRT in the range of 5 to 10 days) to 20.3 g m(-2) d(-1) (for HRT = 0.2 d and SRT = 2 d). Simulations pointed out that maximizing the algal pro-ductivity or the fraction of recovered nitrogen in the algal biomass are conflicting goals that are achieved under different operating conditions. Conditions maximising the algal productivity favour algae and heterotrophic bacteria while algae and nitrifying bacteria dominate the system under those conditions optimizing the efficiency of nitrogen recycling. Finally, increasing the influent alkalinity and adapting the water depth can boost the algal productivity without meeting conditions favourable to N2O emission, opening new perspectives for resource recovery through algal biomass valorisation

Le avventure di Casanova

To which literary genre can Histoire de ma vie be traced? Are we really in front of a text that can be peacefully classified as belonging to the eighteenthcentury memoirs tout-court, or there is always something that escapes, that eludes, as well as its author, to our temptation of readers who would like to deal with a text, measure ourselves with it, comforted by solid interpretative schemes? And what is the author-protagonist of this labyrinthine and vertiginous work looking for? In what way is he confronting and bearing witness to an era as rich yet unsatisfying as the one in which he happened to live and about which he happened to write? What voices does he give space to in his writing? All of this, and the delicate balance between wandering and nostos, is discussed in this essay
