Different Sort of Personal Identity:\Ethical\ Identity . Personal Identity: \Ethical\v. \Metaphysical\questions The previous lectures and readings on personal identity were primarily concerned with the metaphysics of personal identity. Question of diachronic identity/unity: Confronted with an individual X at one time and Y at another, what would make it the case that X and Y are (or are parts of) the same person? We've seen that the answer to this question may well depend on what sort of thing you think persons are: are persons bodies? Streams of consciousness?

The relationspip between the microcracks and the mechanical behaviors and the characteristics of fracture of MDF cement have been studied. The results show that most of the microcracks lie and propagate in the matrix or along the boundary of the clinkers. The microcracks improve the toughness of MDF cement. The Griffith’s equation is invalid to describe the fracture of MDF cement

The nucleus is the biggest and most important organelle of the cell. The presence of the nucleus is the principal feature that distinguishes eukaryotic from prokaryotic cells Almost eukaryotic cells have the nucleus except mature red blood cells of mammals and sieve cells of high plants etc.. By housing the cell's genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the control

In this lecture, we consider the problem of a body in which the mass of the body changes during the motion, that is, m is a function of t, i.e. m(t). Although there are many cases for which this particular model is applicable, one of obvious importance to us are rockets. We shall see that a significant fraction of the mass of a rocket is the fuel, which is expelled during flight at a high velocity and thus, provides the propulsive force for the rocket

In this lecture, we will derive expressions for the angular momentum and kinetic energy of a 3D rigid body. We shall see that this introduces the concept of the Inertia Tensor. Angular Momentum We start form the expression of the angular momentum of a system of particles about the center of mass

In this lecture, we will particularize the conservation principles presented in the previous lecture to the case in which the system of particles considered is a 2D rigid body. Mass Moment of Inertia In the previous lecture, we established that the angular momentum of a system of particles relative to the center of mass, G, was

Heat treatment changes the structure of the cobalt binder phase and the properties of the WC-Co hardmetals. The higher the cobalt content in the alloy is, the more effective the heat treatment is. The present work has found that the transformation of α-Co to ε-Co can be depressed by quenching the specimens in oil from 1000℃ and hence the transverse rupture strength of these specimens can be increased. During tempering the quenched specimens, new precipitated phases which have dispersion hardening effect on the cobalt binder phase have been observed

One of the merits of the notion of sequential equilibrium is the emphasis on out-of- equilibrium beliefs-that is, on beliefs (about past and future play)at information sets that should not be reached if given equilibrium is played. The key insight of extensive-form analysis is that out-of-equilibrium beliefs deter. mine equilibrium behavior. For instance, consider the simple two-stage entry deter- rence game in which potential entrant decides whether to enter a market or stay out, and the incumbent decides whether to fight or acquiesce after the entrant's move

Application of MR2T2 algorithm in statistical mechanics Canonical ensemble: Distribution function: p(rN)=exp(-E(rN)/KT)/Q Q= JdrN exp(-E(rN)/kT) Different states of the Markov chain: In the application of Metropolis algorithm to a simulation of molecular system, the states of the Markov chain correspond to different configurations of the molecular system
