Musical Nouns of Multitude

In the 14th and 15th centuries, a large number of so-called nouns of multitude made their way into the English language. Most of them were colorful designations for groups of birds and animals. Surviving to the present day are such surprising expressions as a shrewdness of apes, an exaltation of larks, a skulk of foxes, and a murmuration of starlings

Simulating dynamic systems using Linear Time Calculus theories

To appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). Dynamic systems play a central role in fields such as planning, verification, and databases. Fragmented throughout these fields, we find a multitude of languages to formally specify dynamic systems and a multitude of systems to reason on such specifications. Often, such systems are bound to one specific language and one specific inference task. It is troublesome that performing several inference tasks on the same knowledge requires translations of your specification to other languages. In this paper we study whether it is possible to perform a broad set of well-studied inference tasks on one specification. More concretely, we extend IDP3 with several inferences from fields concerned with dynamic specifications

Multitude libre/Multitude serve. Pour une lecture du Traité politique de Spinoza

Cette étude se donne pour objet de dégager la visée poursuivie par Spinoza dans son Traité politique et d'en extraire l'enseignement politique. Après avoir brièvement reconstruit la théorie spinoziste du droit naturel et l'advenue nécessaire d'un corps politique, elle s'attache, en se basant principalement sur une lecture des chapitres 6 à 11, à déterminer les conditions de la position d'une multitude libre plutôt que serve. On montre que ces conditions se résument dans le principe d'un renforcement circulaire de la puissance du souverain et de celle de la multitude et que la possibilité de son instauration repose sur une juste compréhension de la dynamique passionnelle ; et qu'à défaut, s'installe un régime de servitude marqué par le clivage des gouvernants et de la multitude. On conclut par un regard sur le présent à la lumière de la leçon de ce traité

DOCTRINAIRE ARCHIETYPES OF MACROECONOMIC POLITICS

In modern and democratic society conditions, which is characterized by a multitude of economic doctrines, as a reflection of the multitude of parties system that exists, economic policies are directed and appreciated in comparison with the main doctrinaire currents in social and economic life. But, solving social and economic problems can not offer the expected results by using only the economic policies generated by the classical and neo-classical theories thus being necessary the emerging and development of some new theories.settling up; commercial transaction; international economical globalization; internalization; GATT/OMC;

Wilsonian renormalization group and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation with a multitude of cutoff parameters

The Wilsonian renormalization group approach to the Lippmann-Schwinger equation with a multitude of cutoff parameters is introduced. A system of integro-differential equations for the cutoff-dependent potential is obtained. As an illustration, a perturbative solution of these equations with two cutoff parameters for a simple case of an S-wave low-energy potential in the form of a Taylor series in momenta is obtained. The relevance of the obtained results for the effective field theory approach to nucleon-nucleon scattering is discussed.Comment: 6 pages, no figure
