John Mandel interview
No full textInterview with John Mandel, a survivor of Nazi Holocaust of the Jews, by Charlene Green. The transcript is prepared from the interview and European spellings regularized for consistency.An interview with John Mandel, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Charlene Green. John Mandel was born in 1927? in Munkacs, Czechoslovakia. After the Hungarian annexation of the area in 1938, John and his family suffered increasing persecution in the Hungarian regime. The family was deported to Birkenau in May 1944. John's mother, sister and two younger brothers were gassed upon arrival and John was separated from his father and another brother when he was transferred to Auschwitz I. After about seven months in Auschwitz I, John was transferred to Mauthausen then to Melk and finally to Ebensee (both sub-camps of Mauthausen), where he was liberated by the American Army in spring, 1945. After liberation, John went to the Displaced Persons Camp at Gabersee and in 1946, he emigrated to the United States.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/3/mandel4.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/4/mandel3.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/5/mandel2.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/6/mandel1.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/8/Mandel.pd
Come l\u27America la fa franca con la giustizia internazionale: Guerre illegali, danni collaterali e crimini contro l\u27uminata
No full textL\u27America ha tentato di giustificare la guerra contro l\u27Iraq facendo appello a un\u27autorizzazione del Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite.
A proposito dell\u27Afghanistan, aveva parlato di autodifesa , mentre per il Kosovo di intervento umanitario . Stando alle norme del Diritto internazionale, invece, in tutti e tre i casi si è trattato di guerre illegali , ascrivibili alla categoria dei crimini internazionali supremi .
Esperto di Diritto Internazionale, Michael Mandel propone un\u27approfondita analisi critica delle guerre illegali americane e del sistema che ha garantito una pericolosa e ingiusta impunità ai leader politici americani, analizzando dall\u27interno l\u27azione della nuova Corte penale internazionale e delle altre forme di giurisdizione universale .https://digitalcommons.osgoode.yorku.ca/faculty_books/1006/thumbnail.jp
Characterizing crystallizations among Lins-Mandel 4-coloured graphs
No full textIn [Discr. Math. 57 (1985), 261-284], Lins and Mandel introduce a class of 3-manifolds represented by 4-coloured graphs S(b,l,t,c) depending on a 4-tuple (b,l,t,c) of positive integers; moreover, they prove that, if the following conditions hold , , if l odd, then S(b,l,t,c) is a crystallization of an (orientable) 3-manifold.In this paper we show that the above conditions are also necessary: hence, they characterize crystallizations among Lins-Mandel graphs
On some properties of the Mandel-Turner equation
No full textAs shown recently by the Brussels group, an unified formulation of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics can be obtained. This requires the introduction of starunitary transformations A(L). One of the operators (x) necessary to construct explicitly such transformations satisfies the Mandel-Turner equation. The aim of this paper is to investigate some properties of this equation. First we show that, for a large class of systems, x is even with respect to the inversion L → — L, L being the Liouville-von Neumann operator. Next, we solve explicitly the Mandel-Turner equation for the Friedrichs' model.De Haan Michel, Hénin Françoise. On some properties of the Mandel-Turner equation.

Architekturnaja metafora u Mandel´štama
No full textRéSUMéLe rapprochement métaphorique de la poésie et de l’architecture chez Osip Mandel´Òtam. Dans ses écrits poétiques et théoriques, Mandel´Òtam établit une analogie entre la poésie et l’architecture, plaçant ainsi son œuvre dans un contexte philosophique et esthétique différent de celui qu’exploraient les symbolistes russes. Il y développa l’idée que la beauté naît de la téléologie et qu’on en trouve le meilleur exemple dans l’architecture, en particulier celle des cathédrales gothiques. L’idée que la beauté est l’effet de la téléologie implique généralement un rapport entre le beau et le bien, et le glissement de Mandel´Òtam vers cette esthétique fut guidé par la philosophie du Bien de Solov´ev. La conception de ce dernier se trouve paraphrasée dans « Notre Dame », le poème le plus connu de Mandel´Òtam, qui est aussi une sorte de manifeste artistique. Ce sont les traités de rhétorique de l’Antiquité qui utilisèrent les premiers les métaphores architecturales dans le but d’introduire le rapport entre la beauté et le téléologique dans la théorie littéraire. Il est plus vraisemblable que Mandel´Òtam puisait son inspiration dans la rhétorique de l’Antiquité et non dans les édifices eux-mêmes quand il décrivait les voûtes gothiques et les dômes byzantins ou de la Renaissance. On retrouve dans l’un de ses poèmes des termes utilisés par Demetrius dans une comparaison entre une figure de rhétorique et une voûte ou un dôme. Le poète accordait sans doute une importance hors du commun au dôme de Saint-Pierre parce que Diderot en avait fait un exemple de l’identification de la beauté au téléologique dans son étude brillante, Essai sur la peinture. Mandel´Òtam, qui avait une prédilection pour le Siècle des lumières, fait allusion à l’ Essai de Diderot dans le poème intitulé « L’Amirauté ».ABSTRACTOsip Mandel´shtam’s architectural metaphor of poetry. Mandel´shtam’s use of an analogy between poetry and architecture in his poems and theoretical writings placed his poetry in a specific philosophical and aesthetical context different from that explored by Russian Symbolists. Throughout his oeuvre, he developed the idea that beauty originates in purposiveness, the best example of which, to him, could be found in architectural structures, first and foremost Gothic cathedrals. The concept that beauty is the effect of purposiveness usually includes a connection between the beautiful and the good, and Mandel´shtam’s shift to this kind of aesthetics was guided, in its turn, by V. Solov´ev’s philosophy of the Good. Solov´ev’s conception of art is paraphrased in “Notre Dame,” Mandel´shtam’s most famous poem and a poetic manifesto of sorts. It was the classical treatises on rhetorics that first used architectural metaphors in order to introduce the purposive idea of beauty into literary theory. It is likely that it was not the architectural structures themselves, but the classical theories of speech that influenced Mandel´shtam’s view of poetry and inspired him to describe the structure of Gothic vaults and Byzantine or Renaissance domes in his writings. One of his poems uses Demetrius’ terms in a comparison of a rhetorical period with a vault or dome. The poet may have given the dome of St. Peter exceptional significance because its structure had already been brilliantly interpreted by Diderot in his Notes on Painting as exemplifying the identification of beauty with purposiveness. Mandel´shtam, who had a predilection for the Enlightenment, implicitly refers to Diderot’s discussion of beauty in the poem “The Admiralty.
Resonance Fluorescence under Finite Bandwidth Excitation
No full textWith the development of increasingly precise experimental methods for studying the phenomenon of resonance fluorescence from atoms, as in atomic beam experiments, the need arises for a more realistic description of the excitation field in the theory. We have generalized our earlier quantum field treatment of the problem of resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom, [1, 2] to take account of the finite bandwidth of the exciting laser field. In the analysis we take the state of this field to be a statistical mixture of coherent states, in which the phase performs a random walk in time, and we ultimately average over the ensemble of phases. [3] We investigate the properties of the fluorescent light, and find some new features, that are absent under monochromatic excitation, and appear not to have been encountered in previous treatments of the problem. [4, 5] In particular, we show that the spectral density should become asymmetric under offresonance, non-monochromatic excitation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
An alternative to quantum mechanics part I: The experiment of Pfleegor and Mandel
No full textThe Pfleegor-Mandel experiment showing the interference between two beams coming from two independent lasers is reviewed. It is argued that the interference fringes detected by Pfleegor and Mandel may not be caused by the interference, which is an interaction between the two beams. Instead of the interference between the two beams coming from two lasers, the following is suggested. The photons coming from the first laser interact with the environment of the path leading from the second laser, and the photons coming from the second laser interact with the environment of the path leading from the first laser. A modification of the Pfleegor-Mandel experiment that eliminates the possible interaction with the path from the other laser is proposed
