montesi/MeltMigrator 1.1.0
No full text<p>MATLAB codes that simulate melt migration out of a planetary mantle according to a simplified 3-step process described in Montési <em>et al.</em> (2011). The code itself is described at length in Bai <em>et al.</em> (2016)</p>
<p>MeltMigrator is based on MATLAB and functions for examples with Matlab2015b. It uses the fsolve function, which is available with MATLAB's optimization toolbox. In version 1.0.0, MeltMigrator assumes the availability of a mantle flow and temperature model build with COMSOL Multiphysics and was tested with version 5.0 and 5.1.</p>
<p>You should modify <strong>SetParameters.m</strong> to enter your preferred parameters and model descriptions</p>
<p>Cartoon diagram describing the three steps of melt migration used by MeltMigrator. See also Gregg <em>et al.</em> (2012) for a slightly different version of the diagram.
</p>
<p>New in version 1.1.0:</p>
<ul>
<li>The input model no longer need to be COMSOL. You can choose instead to use a ASCII table containing the x,y,z positions and associated temperature and upward velocity.</li>
<li>all calls to fsolve have been replaced by calls to fzero, which does not require a custom toolbox.</li>

A comparative analysis of different business ethics in the perspective of the Common Good
No full textThe paper concerns the connection between different tipologies of business ethics (kantian, utilitarian, aristotelic) and the alternative vision of economic development, company’s organizational and managerial context together with interest in Common Good more or less associated to profit to which they have given rise. In this comparison virtue ethics stands out for its capacity of creating, specially through the business virtue of generosity, social capital so precious to economic development at every level, for its capability of increasing people’s well-being, and for its capacity to make the production of relational goods (among which Common Good), on which people’s happiness depends, easier. Gift’s paradigm recovery can also be helpful to prevent other financial and economic crisis like the actual one which has had, like less striking but deepest cause, the triumph of avarice’s vice on the virtues of giving (generosity and justice).Business Ethics, Gift’s Economy, Generosity, Charity, Mercy, Social Capital, Relational Goods, Common Good
