“L’unione e la combinazione che il nostro spirito sa fare”. Legge e stato di natura nel secondo 'Discorso' di Rousseau
No full textABSTRACT: The aim of the article is to shed light on two problems, regarding the meaning and the role of the law of nature in the first half of Rousseau’s second Discourse. The first problem concerns the relationship between self-love and pity, that is, the two passions that Rousseau identifies as the fundamental drives of the law of nature. The second one concerns the way in which this law can effectively act upon men who live in the pure state of nature, since men in the pure state of nature seem to lack that kind of intelligence and freedom which are necessary to the development of any sort of morality. In order to solve these problems, the author of the article focuses on passages of the Discourse that are rarely taken into account by scholars, regarding in particular the way in which men interact with each other and, more generally, with other living beings. Through the analysis of specific cases, he demonstrates how in the Discourse the role of pity, first understood as an autonomous principle that can possibly stand in the way of self-love, is gradually marginalised in favour of self-love. Then, he shows how this subordination of the former passion to the latter leads towards a fundamentally utilitarian account of morality. As in Hobbes, also in Rousseau’s second Discourse no judgment is considered morally valid, except for the one that individuals may have of themselves. The boundary between moral actions and violence can therefore become vague and vanishing
Esemplarità e imitazione. Gloria e vergogna nell’‘Etica' di B. Spinoza
No full textABSTRACT. EXEMPLARITY AND IMITATION : GLORY AND SHAME IN SPINOZA’S ETHICS.
In this paper, the author focuses on B. Spinoza’s Ethics in order to expound the connection between the themes of “exemplar humanae naturae”, “imitatio affectuum”, and a number of passions related to what we would today call “recognition”. What will emerge, in this way, is the value of this connection in relation to the transition from imagination to reason, from passion to virtue, from conflict to cooperation. First, the paper highlights the partial break that imitation introduces with respect to the affects connected to self-preservation; the decentralization to which this imitation forces an otherwise self-centered subject; the need for reciprocity and justice of which imitation is the bearer, and the possible transition to an ethical approach that it tends to promote. Secondly, it reflects upon the difficulties connected to the mimetic dynamic’s combination with other dispositions and with the struggle for recognition. Finally, it refers to a possible solution to these difficulties, offered by the role of education and habits in the construction of recognition criteria that can be, at the same time, imaginary and potentially shared

Prediction of Aerodynamic Characteristics for Commercial Aircraft based on Open-Source Cruise Flight Data
No full textAirplane characteristics are interesting to analyze. The characteristics are shown as aerodynamic, structural and propulsion performance which further shows how economical the aircraft is compared to other aircraft. With the development of automatic dependent surveillance - broadcast (ADS-B), open source commercial aircraft flight data can be obtained easily. This study is performed to develop algorithm that can be used to predict aircraft aerodynamic coefficients. The algorithm is a collection of equations developed and simplified in previous studies. It is then used to estimate mass, lift, drag, and thrust forces, lift and drag coefficients, as well as fuel flow of an aircraft throughout the flight based on open source flight data, such as Flightradar24. The resulting lift and drag coefficients from the application of this algorithm are reasonably close within 9 – 14% compared to available references. Flightradar24 data is actually quite accurate for further flight performance analysis.Airplane characteristics are interesting to analyze.

Network Based Landing System: An Alternative Of Landing System
No full textAs information technology particularly network convergence into IP (Internet Protocol) network, new kinds of application emerge. Applications cover a wide range of area from education, health, government, etc. Transportations are not excluded. Information technology could provide services related to aircraft positions, flight condition, emergency status, including information for landing system. Network based landing system is a new concept of providing information to airmen on how an aircraft correlated within the designated or nearby airport. This covers spatial data of certain airports; their weather condition, runway length, airport capabilities, and pathways for en route and landing. These information are also paired with GPS (Global Positioning System) for data crosschecking. Data from GPS are correlated with spatial data thus giving knowledge such as how an aircraft on final approach satisfies minimum glide slope. For the first step, we establish a spatial database in a form of geo-map for case study. Further development will be expanded into database layers related to location based service (LBS) for aerial services
Essenza, causa e ratio in Spinoza e Leibniz
No full textThe paper focuses Spinoza's definition of an "essence" and sketches the chief logical differences subsisting between Spinoza's concept of the essence of the singular entities and Leibniz's one. At the opinion of the author, these differences show the deep heterogeneity subsisting between Leibniz's metaphysics and Spinoza's one even in the so-called "monist" phase of Leibniz's thought (april-october 1676) and can help us to explain why Leibniz could shift so quickly from his 1676 monism to his mature pluralistic view
