LA RICEZIONE DI ANASSAGORA NEL MEDIOEVO. IL CASO DI ALBERTO MAGNO
No full textThis article aims to demonstrate that the appeal of Anaxagoras in the Middle Ages is linked with that of later philosophical traditions such as Stoicism (in Albert), Hermeticism (in Eckhart) and Stoicism and Hermeticism together (in Thomas of York). At the same time, it highlights that Anaxagoras is, for Al- bert, not only the philosopher that Aristotle criticized, but also the author of doctrines that are the basis of doctrinal, philosophical and theological errors. Albert is concerned to correct them by accrediting the Aristotelian doctrine
Eckhart's stoic doctrine of freedom and its metaphysical foundation
No full textIn the present study it has been proposed an interpretation of the Eckhartian doctrine of freedom, based on three levels of analysis: 1. From an ethical perspective, the Eckhartian doctrine of freedom, both in its negative formulation (i. ed. Freedom as detachment from determination) and in its positive formulation (i.e. freedom as expression of the intellectual nature of the soul), has been analysed in the light of the Stoic sources, explicitly quoted by Eckhart; 2. From a metaphysical perspective, it will be demonstrated that the Eckhartian doctrine of freedom is a necessary corollary of a natural law which Eckhart defends employing the doctrine of Avicebron’s Fons vitae; 3.applied to the noetic, the sources employed by Eckhart are not only coherent with the philosophical assumption of the platonic doctrine of the reminiscence, explicitly quoted by the author, because the same, having been discussed in the works of Albert the Great, are criticized as anti-Aristotelic

The role of collective motion in examples of coarsening and self-assembly
No full textThe simplest prescription for building a patterned structure from its constituents is to add particles, one at a time, to an appropriate template. However, self-organizing molecular and colloidal systems in nature can evolve in much more hierarchical ways. Specifically, constituents (or clusters of constituents) may aggregate to form clusters (or clusters of clusters) that serve as building blocks for later stages of assembly. Here we evaluate the character and consequences of such collective motion in a set of prototypical assembly processes. We do so using computer simulations in which a system's capacity for hierarchical dynamics can be controlled systematically. By explicitly allowing or suppressing collective motion, we quantify its effects. We find that coarsening within a two dimensional attractive lattice gas (and an analogous off-lattice model in three dimensions) is naturally dominated by collective motion over a broad range of temperatures and densities. Under such circumstances, cluster mobility inhibits the development of uniform coexisting phases, especially when macroscopic segregation is strongly favored by thermodynamics. By contrast, the assembly of model viral capsids is not frustrated but is instead facilitated by collective moves, which promote the orderly binding of intermediates consisting of several monomers
Poems 1972-79
No full textJ. J. Bray - whose third collection of poetry this is- was born and educated in Adelaide. After a distinguished career at the South Australian Bar he was Chief Justice of South Australia from 1967 to 1978 and in 1968 became Chancellor of the University of Adelaide. He is now retired apart from his University appointment and a post on the Libraries Board of South Australia. J. J. Bray began to write poetry seriously in the 1950s and acknowledges the important influence of the late C.J. Jury on his work. Bray's long standing affection for the classics is evident in this collection. His two previous books of poems, Poems and Poems 1961-1971, were published in 1962 and 1972. He is also the author of three verse plays

Metraterm distinct, thick walled, overlaps left caecum. Eggs few, large, operculate, oval, 61-78 (70) × 28-50 (37). Vitelline follicles extend from 182-202 (194) from anterior extremity, 19-27 (23)% of body-length, to 11-38 (26) from posterior extremity; lateral fields may be continuous (n=3) or interrupted in ventral sucker area (n=3), ventral fields separate in forebody, and posteriorly to posterior margin of posterior testis, confluent or almost in post-testicular area; dorsal field confluent in forebody and post-testicular area always with continuous medial and sometimes bilateral or unilateral interruption in ventral sucker, uterine and gonad areas; follicles lie lateral, ventral and dorsal to caeca; anterior limit sometimes level with posterior end of oesophagus (n=3) or more anteriorly to point roughly level with mid-way between anterior and posterior ends of oesophagus (n=3). Excretory vesicle I-shaped, with narrow posterior end surrounded by few gland cells, passes anteriorly to point dorsal to posterior third of ovary. Etymology: This species is named for the mother of the first author. Comments: Macvicaria adomeae n. sp. can be accommodated in Group D as outlined above and can be distinguished from other species as follows: M. antarctica has a smaller pharynx, a shorter forebody at 26% of the body-length, a smaller post-testicular area and distinctly smaller eggs 42-51 × 20-28. M. georgiana has vitelline fields reaching to the pharynx, a saccular internal seminal vesicle, a shorter forebody (according to the illustrations in Zdzitowiecki, 1997) and small knobs on the anopercular pole of the eggs. M. issaitschikowi has a shorter forebody at 27% of the body-length, a slightly shorter post-testicular area of 19% of the body-length, a smaller pharynx, a larger ventral sucker, with a sucker width ratio of 1:2.61 versus 1:1.8-1.9 (1.9), smaller eggs 57-63 × 38-40, and its caeca terminate at about the level of the posterior margin of the posterior testis (Yamaguti, 1938) whereas they terminate well beyond the posterior margin of the posterior testis in M. adomeae. M. muraenolepidis has a saccular internal seminal vesicle and smaller eggs (36-50 x 21-32) with small anopercular knobs. M. heronensis can be distinguished by its slightly longer forebody at 35% of the body-length, a shorter post-testicular area at 19% of the body-length, longer and narrower eggs at 68-84 × 29-32 (76 × 31), the posterior extent of the uterus, the gonads which are situated more posteriorly and a genital pore closer to the anterior end.Published as part of Aken'Ova, Thelma, Cribb, Thomas & Bray, Rodney, 2008, Eight new species of Macvicaria Gibson and Bray, 1982 (Digenea: Opecoelidae) from temperate marine fishes of Australia, pp. 23-58 in ZooKeys 1 on pages 48-50, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/57639
The Great Fire Wall of China discussion with Ethan Guttmann, Hiawatha Bray, Valerie Epps and John Jaw at the Ford Hall Forum, audio recording, 10/12/2006
No full textEthan Guttmann, author of Losing the New China: A Story of American Commerce, Desire and Betrayal, former Foreign Policy Analyst at the Brookings Institution; Hiawatha Bray, The Boston Globe’s technology reporter; and John Jaw, founder of the Boston’s English-language and Chinese-language editions of The Epoch Times. Moderated by Valerie Epps, Director of the International Law Concentration at Suffolk University. There is no Google in China—at least not one that is uncensored. Websites are blacklisted -Wikipedia, BlogSpot, and BBC News, to name just a few – and content providers like Yahoo!, AOL, and Skype, censor themselves so that they can operate in the country. To the dismay of some human rights advocates and media groups, it is principally American firms providing the Chinese government with technology to filter data as it comes and goes. Is there a better way to deal with China’s laws and policies? Is a restricted internet better than no internet at all? And can the “Golden Shield” stand up to a barrage of software designed specifically to circumvent it? A panel of experts discuss the collision between new technologies and the national interests of the world’s most populous country.https://dc.suffolk.edu/fhf-av/1065/thumbnail.jp
