What is Derrida Saying to Us?
What is Derrida Saying to Us - Abstract
Jacques Derrida is difficult and controversial. This article concentrates on the first part of On Grammatology (1967) as the Rosetta Stone to understanding him. It examines concepts such as the metaphysics of presence, the trace, differance, and deconstruction, aiming to interest readers further in pursuing him in more depth
Unmanned seismometer levels self, corrects drift errors
Four-component, three-axis, feedback-controlled seismograph incorporates electronic circuitry for leveling and for monitoring the feedback signal required for servo-centering. Viscous damping of the earth-motion signal, compensation of the residual long-term drift, and centering of the seismometers are provided by automatic mechanisms
CALCULATING THE SMARANOACHE FUNCTION WITHOUT FACTORISING
This paper presents an alternative algorithm for use when S is to be calculated for all integers up to n. The integers are synthesised by combining all the prime powers in the range up to n

The hi-tech detection of Darwin's and Wallace's possible science fraud: big data criminology re-writes the history of contested discovery
Priority for discoveries is awarded to those who are first to publish. If a scholar writes claiming to have discovered something or originated a theory that has been earlier published, or presented in public by another who got their first, then the peer review process, professional and public disapproval is relied upon to identify and correct the self-serving irregularity. Thereafter, the pretender to the throne of discovery is expected to retract and apologise. If there is evidence that such a counterfeit originator had prior knowledge of their supposedly independent discovery being first discovered by another, the professional repercussions are likely to be catastrophic. This article is about the devastating Big Data facilitated 2014 discovery that the world’s most celebrated and studied natural scientist Charles Darwin, and his lesser known associate Alfred Russel Wallace, more likely than not committed the world’s greatest science fraud by apparently plagiarising the entire theory of natural selection from a book written by Patrick Matthew and then claiming to have had no prior-knowledge of it
Recent constraints on the parton distributions in the proton and the measurement of from ATLAS and CMS
Recent results on cross sections sensitive to the parton distribution
functions (PDFs) within the proton from the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are
presented. The potential impact on the inclusion of these data in fits to the
PDFs is discussed. Recent results from fits including the data from jet, or
vector boson production from the ATLAS and CMS experiments are discussed.Comment: On behalf of the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. Proceedings for
