Esperienza ed evento della verità. Pratica filosofica e astrazione scientifica nel pensiero di A.N. Whitehead
No full textThis article analyzes the relationship between philosophy, experience and event in A.N. Whitehead’s thought. From the critics of the concept of object, the author retraces and describes the peculiar “abstract-concrete dialectic”, at the center of the researches concerning the perceptual experience.
Furthermore, according to Whitehead’s later works, she demonstrates how the philosophical practice is different from all other kinds of science, although it requires science itself because of the co-implication of object and event, abstraction and recognition
Il "Guerrin Meschino" di Gesualdo Bufalino : un'"opra" in versi
No full textGesualdo Bufalino first published Il Guerrin Meschino in 1991 in a non-commercial edition. In 1993, after a deep revision, he re-published his work with publisher Bompiani: the novel has a modified plot, and the author decided to insert three new poems in addition to the opening and closing poems, formerly present in 1991’s edition. This paper, in its entirety supported by handwritten material preserved at Fondazione Gesualdo Bufalino (Comiso), is divided in two parts: the first part illustrates the differences between the first and the second edition, the second part provides a critical edition of the five poems

Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, honorary academician of Russian academy of medical sciences (1988), and an outstanding representative of the Moscow anatomical school of the middle of XX – early XXI century. From the very beginning of his medical training, Mikhail Romanovich got interested in anatomy, especially in angiology and lymphology, and later concentrated on its studying. The author of more than 30 text books and guidelines for schools, universities, and colleges, Mikhail Romanovich was the doctoral and thesis advisor of 51 Ph.D. and approximately 70 MD dissertations. M.R. Sapin made a significant contribution to the development of anatomical education providing the departments with a various range of dry and wet specimens. His stunning and effective work as a tutor was highly appreciated by his students and colleagues, Russian and foreign anatomists. M.R. Sapin was the leader of the Laboratory of Functional Anatomy since 1972, president of the International Association of Morphologists (1992–2006), chairman of the expert commission of Higher Attestation Commission (1959–1994), etc. A man of a great willpower, M.R. Sapin faced a lot of obstacles in his life and research work but overcame that all successfully. The article presents the most important facts of anatomist’s career and lifetime.</jats:p
Verslag van het voorgevallene tijdens het hooge opperwater op de Nederlandsche rivieren in den winter van 1919 op 1920
No full textNadat de Rijn op 20 December 1919 tot even beneden den middelbaren zomerstand 1901-1910 (M.R.) was gedaald vertoonde zich op die rivier een sterke en vrij snelle was, waardoor het water te Keulen tot 6m +M.R. bij het einde van het jaar steeg. In de daarop volgende 11 dagen daalde de waterstand tot 1.5m +M.R. om daarna in 5 dagen weder te rijzen tot den zeer hoogen stand van 7m +M.R. Door een aanvankelijk sterken later flauweren val liep de stand weder terug tot 1.5m +M.R. op 30 Januari. Ook op de Maas vertoonden zich twee dicht op elkaar volgende sterke wassen. Bij den aanvang van den eersten was op 19 december stond het water te Maastricht op ruim 1m +M.R. en steeg het in 6 dagen tot 4.37m +M.R.; in de daaropvolgende 9 dagen bleef de stand steeds hoger dan 4m +M.R. en daalde toen tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. op 10 Januari 1920. De tweede was trad op laatsgenoemde datum in waarbij het water oplied tot 4.94m +M.R. op 15 Januari. Het water daalde daarna dadelijk en was op 29 Januari tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. weggevallen. Bij den tweeden was op Rijn en Maas werden de hoogst bekende waterstanden bij open rivieren overtroffen te Keulen met 7 cm en te Maastricht met 2 cm. De rivieren waren ijsvrij.Hoogwaterversla

The Ontology of the Causal Basis of Man : To the Theory of Time
No full textIn 2014, Amirbegov Y.M.'s monograph titled "Mechanics of Thinking" or "Ontological Basis of the Subject" was published, which dealt with a philosophical question: the relationship of matter with consciousness and time of our being. But since the monograph duplicated the thesis conceived by the author and did not go beyond the material presented in it, on the advice of the consultant the author of the monograph is preparing its second edition in an expanded version with a new title: " Ontology of Causal Basis of Man", attracting his mentor, the author of "The Theory of Time or Principle of Formation of Matter Forms" Amirbegov M.R., as a co-author of this book,
Adhering to the opinion that matter between past and future temporal conti-nuity of eternity is reduced to nothing and in reality there remains only a causeless "Nothing", the authors of this book from a clean sheet, but with baggage of knowledge about objective forms of being and causeless reality with its possibili-ties, build an unparalleled theoretical model of human integrity, answering the question: what does a man, his sensorium, consciousness, his thinking apparatus and thought itself, why and how? The authors submit this book to the judgment of the reader

Understanding and improving the feeding value of wheat for broilers
No full textWheat is the main cereal used in broiler feed formulations in North West Europe, the Americas and Australasia.The nutritional value of wheat and variation in feeding quality have significant commercial importance,as it influences efficiency and rate of broiler chicken growth.This thesis deals with the investigation of variation in nutrient composition of currently available wheat samples for commercial broiler diets in the UK, the relationship between wheat characteristics, AME and growth performance of broilers,and the use of exogenous xylanase on the bioavailability of nutrients and AME of wheat.The first study revealed variation in CP, ash and soluble NSP contents of wheat samples. There were differences (P< 0.05) in AME and N-corrected AME (AMEn) of wheat. The AME of wheat had a maximum range of 1.13 MJ/kg DM between wheat samples. The main energy yielding nutrients (starch and protein)of wheat did not relate with the large variation in AME, moreover, there was no relationship between specific weight and AME. There were differences (13 –14%; P < 0.05) in daily feed intake and weight gain of broilers fed different wheat samples, however, differences were not associated with chemical composition and physical characteristics of wheat. The study also indicated no relationship between AME of wheat and growth performance of broilers. The second study indicated that growing site of wheat crop affected(P < 0.05) the nutrient composition, AME and growth performance, whereas,wheat variety had no influence. The variations in AME were due to differences in polysaccharides composition of wheat between growing sites.The xylanase response to improve AME was related to NSP content (the level of arabinoxylans)of wheat. The findings suggested that the supplementation of xylanase to wheat-based diets should be carefully considered if wheat samples consist of varieties sourced from different growing locations. The third study revealed that the in vivorate of starch digestion differed (P < 0.05) by 25% between two wheat samples with similar proximate nutrients and starch content. Previously,both wheat samples resulted in large differences (11 –12%; P< 0.05) in growth performance of broilers. The study proposed that differences in feed intake and growth rate of broilers may be influenced by the in vivorate of starch digestion and should be investigated using a large set of wheat samples.This project proposed that the future selections of wheat samples for broiler feeds are based on the actual analysis of wheat instead of predicted values. Conventional analytical tests of determining the nutrient composition are unable to predict the AME of wheat. Future research is warranted on factors affecting the growing conditions of wheat crop and the possible influence of growing condition on the nutritive value of wheat for broiler chickens
The Case of Jakarta: A City with an Isolated Bus Rapid Transit: formulating a design strategy to establish an integrated transit oriented development in Jakarta using the existing bus rapid transit system
No full textJakarta is the capital of Indonesia, a developed country in the Southeast Asia. With the population of 23 million, Jakarta and the surrounding area is the 4th largest urban area in the world. As the result, Jakarta suffers from inadequate facility such as severe traffic jams caused by too much commuting from areas around Jakarta, and air pollution caused by the traffic. The newly proposed Jakarta Mass Transit System has created an opportunity to the city’s mobility. The system has just been implemented, not completed yet, but is already working. The system will be finished in 2015 completing the whole Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit System. There is an opportunity to reintegrate the unconnected area in the city center. Since 2004, the TransJakarta Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), part of the Jakarta MRT, has been implemented in Jakarta. However, there is no in-depth research on how the Mass Transit System’s affect the vitality of the city. Currently, the BRT only solves the problem of infrastructure, that is the congestion problem. There is no integration between the BRT network and the urban fabric. There is an opportunity to implement a more sustainable transport mode but there is no guideline to direct the system to this direction. Around the world, large cities started to implement sustainable mobility in their city’s building project. Transit-oriented Development in the United States and cities such as Bogota, Zurich, Singapore are one of the many examples of an integrated transport mode or transit-oriented development. Jakarta is late on the idea of integration between the urban fabric and a transportation network and hasn’t consider the possibility of implementing a TOD on the existing MRT/BRT. With this vision of sustainable mobility kept in mind, and with the author’s concern on the environment and the ever increasing use of private automobiles, the author tries to research on the possibility of integrating the BRT system with the urban fabric to create a more sustainable transport mode by implementing a concept of TOD. Unique in this research is that the author is using space syntax as a method of approach to investigate the level of integration of an area next to a BRT system and the use of research by design to investigate improved urban design in the areas surrounding the stops of the BRT system. For this reason, the author decided to choose this topic for the thesis project.UrbanismArchitectur
