Global Totalitarianism and the Crisis of Neo-Lib Movement

During the past decades there are growing concerns on the escalation and massive deprivation of the public life’s quality, which some researchers attribute these as effects of the so-called ‘Globalization’. To cite a few books, Prof. J. Stiglitz’s book “Globalization and its Discontent” has sparked debate all over the world. A somewhat less known book which is worth to mention here is N. Hertz’...

The DEMO Quasisymmetric Stellarator

The NSTAB nonlinear stability code solves differential equations in conservation form, and the TRAN Monte Carlo test particle code tracks guiding center orbits in a fixed background, to provide simulations of equilibrium, stability, and transport in tokamaks and stellarators. These codes are well correlated with experimental observations and have been validated by convergence studies. Bifurcate...

DEMO — A Demo of Epistemic Modelling

This paper introduces and documents DEMO, a Dynamic Epistemic Modelling tool. DEMO allows modelling epistemic updates, graphical display of update results, graphical display of action models, formula evaluation in epistemic models, translation of dynamic epistemic formulas to PDL formulas. Also, DEMO implements the reduction of dynamic epistemic logic [22, 2, 3, 1] to PDL given in [17] and pres...
