An open reply to "What is going on at the Library of Congress?" by Thomas Mann
No full textThis is an open response to a report by Thomas Mann at the Library of Congress concerning changes in cataloging. The author contends that, although the current changes at the Library of Congress are suspect, changes are imminent and experienced catalogers must offer positive suggestions for change, otherwise they will be ignored by management

The Gospel of Thomas and the earliest texts of the synoptic gospels
No full textResearch on the Gospel of Thomas in the last quarter of a
century has made it clear that the origins of this apocryphal gospel
cannot
be
satisfactorily explained from a single point of view. The
author thus suggests that Thomas
be
understood as a growing collection
of sayings which originated in various places and languages, with some
logia being added to the collection after its inception. While this
suggestion is by no means new, there have been few extensive attempts
to study Thomas from such a presupposition.
Due to the need for a control group, only the logia which have
rather close parallels to the Synoptic gospels are investigated. Verbal and textual affinities are noted between these logia and the earliest texts of the Gospels (the Coptic versions, the Diatessaron, the
Old Syriac version, and other early versions and Christian writings).
Various degrees of probable contact between each logion and these
texts are assigned.
The results of this study give some idea as to the place of
origin, the original language, and the approximate date at which certain logia were added to the collection. Those sayings which show a
closer affinity to the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac version, or other
Syrian writings may
be
considered as having been added to the sayings
collection as it circulated in its earliest form, possibly in a Semitic language. Other logia which show no signs of awareness of a
Syrian reading, but which are similar to variants found in the Coptic
versions or other Egyptian texts, may well have originated in Egypt
and been added to the collection at a later stage. These results,
however, must await verification by those who might approach Thomas
from related, but different, perspectives

O contrato social de Thomas Hobbes: alcances e limites
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em FilosofiaO problema em questão diz respeito ao contrato que funda e legitima o Estado em Thomas Hobbes. Tendo como escopo questionar a possibilidade e/ou impossibilidade de nulidade do contrato social e assim verificar as implicações disto para o conceito de soberania hobbesiana. A leitura que impera na tradição de estudiosos da obra política de Hobbes, em especial do Leviathan, é a de um Estado no qual a soberania é absoluta e irrevogável. A interpretação do contrato firmado entre e, somente, entre os homens, deixando, portanto, o soberano de fora, ofereceria legitimidade a este para agir de forma absoluta e obrigaria ao súdito a obedecer de forma irrestrita. A hipótese que se busca sustentar remete à possibilidade de rompimento, desobediência e mais centralmente da nulidade contratual a partir do vício e/ou desrespeito de determinadas cláusulas fundamentais do contrato, visto se oporem às condições de validade do contrato social. Se isso puder ser sustentado desse modo, isto é, se Hobbes compartilhar mesmo de uma teoria forte da nulidade contratual e pela razão, como declinado acima, que achamos ser a correta, então, tal formulação implicaria em sua teoria uma reconsideração do conceito de soberania e obediência, haja vista o estabelecimento de certos vínculos fortes que condicionam as possibilidades de exigência, autoridade e poder da soberania. Portanto, concentra-se em encontrar uma explicação e/ou teorização da nulidade do contrato social e da sua consequência para a teoria da soberania e obediência hobbesiana

β-delayed proton emission from nuclei near doubly magic ¹⁰⁰Sn
No full textThe proton-rich region of the nuclear chart surrounding the doubly magic nucleus
¹⁰⁰Sn (N = Z = 50) is of great interest in nuclear structure studies, in particular
when examining the limits of proton stability and the location of the proton drip-
line. Measurement of the properties of unstable nuclei in this region serves as a
direct test of the shell model for exotic isotopes further from stability. To this end,
an experiment was carried out at the Radioactive Ion Beam Factory (RIBF) at
RIKEN, Japan. Isotopes in this region were produced following fragmentation of
a primary ¹²⁴Xe beam (E beam = 345 MeV/u, beam intensity of 120 pnA) impinged
on a 9 Be target, to then be separated and identified, and finally guided along the
beamline and implanted in the Advanced Implantation Detector Array (AIDA).
AIDA is a state-of-the-art silicon detector array which was used in coincidence
with the Decay Total Absorption γ-ray Spectrometer (DTAS), a NaI crystal array
γ detection system, to measure the decay properties of exotic, short-lived unstable
proton-rich nuclei near ¹⁰⁰Sn.
This thesis presents an analysis of data collected with AIDA during this
experiment, notably for the first time with proton-rich nuclei. Measurements
of the β-delayed proton decay half-lives, branching ratios and energy spectra of
20 nuclei in the region of ¹⁰⁰Sn are presented in this work, the latter of which
was measured with significantly increased energy resolution compared to previous
studies.
β-delayed proton emission from ¹⁰¹Sn was analysed in depth, and compared to
predictions from shell model calculations in the context of identifying the ground-
state spin of this nucleus.
The data collected in this experiment also provided an opportunity to characterise
the fast-recovery time of AIDA, in the context of identifying very short-lived decay
events with half-lives ∼ μs. This characterisation was applied to constrain the
half-life of potential proton emission from an isomer in ⁹⁷In, which has not been
directly detected in this work or in previous studies
