Abstract:

In this research work, we have demonstrated the synthesis, spectroscopic characteristics, thermal behaviour and DC conductivity of a few nanostructured composites, substituted conducting polymers (ICPs) and composites of ICPs. The physical properties of aforementioned composites are significantly changed by the doping with HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, H3PO4, or acrylic acid. The charge transport properties of these polymeric materials have been studied in detail because of their potential application in gas sensors. In the current work, varieties of conducting polymer based materials such as PANI-ES/Cloi

Abstract:

The threat of poison gas, and other related biological warfare agents, holds our society hostage to the possible actions of terrorist groups or rogue states. This study hopes to convince policymakers and the general public that the bad reputation that surrounds the use of gas is largely the result of propaganda, misinformation, and oft-repeated half-truths. With proper precautions and discipline, neither the military nor society need fear gas as a weapon of mass destruction, wielded by dictators and cowards who utilize the loopholes in international agreements and flaunt world opinion.

Ballard's term of “experience” from the point of view of the “intuitionist” school of natural philosophy; the process of alien ingestion; the narrative and rhetorical devices needed to achieve what he calls that “falsely quiet” moment when the practicing scientist senses the possibility of alien encounter; the role of aliens in science

Abstract:

What are the implications of pervasive presence of multisensory interactions for bodily awareness? It has been assumed that bodily experiences exclusively result from bodily senses, with no influence from external senses, but vision is actually required to maximize the veridical perception of the body. Consequently, bodily experiences in those who have never seen are of a different kind to the way one normally experiences one’s body. Whether or not one is currently seeing one’s body, vision plays an essential role in delineating the boundaries of the body, in locating our body parts in space a

It examines how energy security was constructed in official discourse in the same time period, drawing out key themes.

This book is an invaluable resource manual and survival guide for gay men who often turn to peers, parents, educators, or the media for direction, only to encounter misleading myths about gay life, such as the notion that "coming out solves everything. For some gay men being homosexual is often anything but "gay." What are typically assumed to be "gay attributes" are often not characteristics of being gay but symptoms of common emotional disorders in gay men. In this insightful book, longtime psychiatrist Martin Kantor—who is himself a gay man and has been in a committed relationship for 27 ye

Abstract:

Since 2000, much attention has been paid to the increase in social precarity in Europe and the US. Phenomena of precarization (such as underemployment, indebtedness, deaths of despair) tend to be causally linked to the rise of neoliberalism as a strategy of governance that redistributes risk to the already vulnerable. Representing Social Precarity in German Literature and Film broadens the scope beyond this narrow definition of precarity, using Germany as a national case study, to examine the historical genesis of precarity, its evolution from 19th-century industrial modernity to the present,

In this selection, José Gaos considers the perspectivism of his teacher, José Ortega y Gasset, who famously argued that “I am myself and my circumstance, and if I do not save my circumstance, I do not save myself.” For Gaos, and eventually for Samuel Ramos, this view provided the epistemological justification for a national or continental philosophy—“American philosophy”— insofar as it helped to explain how philosophy could be both universal (concerned with the universe) and circumstantial.

Abstract:

Exploring the ontological politics of disco, this chapter historically explains the use of improvised social dancing in the formation of an alternative ethnicity among gay men and lesbians. The chapter argues that improvised social dancing (and disco in particular) has helped create a shared sense of culture for gay people that mimics ethnogenesis, insofar as disco offered an oppressed group a shared sense of belonging, communality, and identity. Like traditional ethnic dances, disco (and its progeny—techno, house, trance, tribal, etc.) perpetuates not only aesthetics, but also belief structur

Abstract:

The first half of the book argues that physicalism cannot account for consciousness and hence must be false. One of the most well-known arguments that tries to show this is Frank Jackson’s form of the knowledge argument. The knowledge argument has two aims. First to show that there is an epistemic gap between the physical facts and the facts about consciousness, in the sense that there are truths about consciousness that one could not deduce from complete knowledge of the physical facts. Second, to infer from this epistemic gap to the falsity of physicalism. This chapter argues that the knowle

The sensorimotor approach emphasizes the significance of action as a determinant of perception, implicitly assuming an agent who engages in intentional actions serving his own interest. It has yet to concern itself with the origin of the norms guiding the agent’s behavior or with a definition of what an agent even is. The chapter examines how the enactive approach can fill this gap. It promotes a theory of agency grounded in the organizational properties of living systems and identifies three requirements—self-individuation, interactional asymmetry, and normativity—that are individually necess

The rapid increase in public support for gay marriage in the United States between 1988 and 2015 is unprecedented in modern polling.

This book analyzes historical data, public opinion data, and qualitative interview data to explain the role of generational change in causing the legalization of gay marriage. Despite the evidence of generational change we see all around us, social scientists have struggled to document and explain generational change

Unilateral or bilateral facial weakness is an important manifestation of many neuromuscular disorders; some of them are as simple as Bell’s palsy, while others are as serious as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).

Peripheral facial weakness affects all functions and parts, while central weakness may save the upper face and may affect emotional and voluntary functions differentially.

Travels in modern China are not only about displacement and exile, but are in many ways informed by a complicated sense of inadequacy and betrayal, as the desire to stay close (or return) to the fatherland is constantly frustrated and negated.

Such facts appear in our explanations, they inform many people’s views about the structure of the world, and are part of philosophical views in metaphysics and the philosophy of science. Yet, despite the very large literature on explanation, the question of bruteness has been left largely unexamined. The chapters in this collection aim to address this gap in the literature by exploring questions related to brute facts such as the following: How can we draw a distinction between facts that can reason

In 1990, a groundbreaking effort by musical artists sought to combat the silence and stigma about the disease. The resulting tribute album to legendary composer Cole Porter was evocatively titledRed Hot + Blue,capturing both the joy and melancholy that accompany love during turbulent times. It re-imagin

Abstract:

Contemplation, according to Thomas Aquinas, is the central goal of our life; yet a scholarly study on this topic has not appeared for over seventy years. This book fills that obvious gap. From an interdisciplinary perspective this study considers the epistemological and metaphysical foundations of the contemplative act; the nature of the active and contemplative lives in light of Aquinas’s Dominican calling; the role of faith, charity, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in contemplation; and contemplation and the beatific vision. Key questions addressed are: What is contemplation? What is truth?

Abstract:

Abstract This book explores the nature and mechanisms of consciousness from the perspectives of neuroscience and philosophy. Thagard proposes the NBC (Neural representation, Binding, Coherence, and Competition) theory as a comprehensive explanation for human consciousness. He addresses external perceptions such as smell, internal sensations such as hunger, emotions such as loneliness, and abstract thoughts such as the self. The book explains how complex conscious experiences emerge from the interactions of neural mechanisms. It highlights the integration of neural and cultural factors, showing

Abstract:

Abstract Britain emerged from the Second World War victorious yet exhausted. A powerful ‘received wisdom’ narrative charts national and imperial decline from this point. But looking forward in 1945, Britain’s political elite—embracing the governments under Churchill and Attlee and a broad range of influential actors and opinion-shapers—did not see this coming and envisaged an entirely different future from the one that came to pass. British leaders believed that Britain would, could, and should continue to exist and to act as a great imperial power and a great world power, indeed, to be a supe

Abstract:

This book is an attempt to adapt some of Peirce’s ideas, particularly his theory of semiotic, for the purpose of re-thinking certain issues in contemporary philosophical theology and the philosophy of religion. It begins with an historical sketch that links Peirce’s thought to that of earlier figures, certain contemporaries, and later thinkers and developments. Drawing on Peirce’s thought, the book then develops a semiotic conception of persons/selves and of community. It analyzes in some detail the role that acts of attention play in shaping human inferences and perception, while also explori

Abstract:

Philosophy and rhetoric are both old enemies and old friends. This book sets out to shift our understanding of the relationship between philosophy and rhetoric from that of separation to one of close association. The book outlines how ancient rhetors focused on the impact of language regardless of truth, ancient philosophers utilized language to test truth; and ultimately, this separation of right reasoning from rhetoric has remained intact throughout history. It is time, the book argues, to reassess this ancient and misunderstood relationship. The book traces this argument utilizing the writi

Abstract:

If ‘prevention is better than cure’, why isn’t policy more preventive? Policymakers only have the ability to pay attention to, and influence, a tiny proportion of their responsibilities, and they engage in a policymaking environment of which they have limited understanding and even less control. This simple insight helps explain the gap between stated policymaker expectations and actual policy outcomes. We use these insights to produce new empirical studies of ‘wicked’ problems with practical lessons. We find that both the UK and Scottish governments use a simple idiom—prevention is better tha

Abstract:

Abstract Copyright statutes across many jurisdictions regard copyright as a property right, though it is not always clear in what sense it is a property right. Some regard copyright simply as a statutory right, and others argue that copyright is merely a chose in action similar to contractual debts and shares. Since copyright has nothing in common with any of the choses in action other than its intangibility, copyright’s conceptualisation has become limited to its statutory ontology. This offers no normative yardstick with which to assess copyright, its scope, and the direction of its growth.

Autonomic testing is an important addition to neurological evaluations. While there are many excellent textbooks on autonomic disorders, only a few texts focus on how to perform and interpret autonomic tests. This manual fills the gap, dealing mainly with the practical aspects of autonomic testing. In accord with the maxim that “a good picture is worth a thousand words,” signal drawings are heavily used throughout the text to explain and illuminate test results. This book has two parts. The first part describes in detail the Brigham protocol of autonomic tests, which includes cardiovascular te
