Material Transport in Oceanic Gyres. Part I: Phenomenology

Part I Introductory Material

Part I the Place of Phenomenology in Philosophy of Mind

Though it is most often deployed in service of naturalist and empirically sensitive explanatory projects, the functionalist theory of mind is essentially a formal theory, drawing its plausibility more from a sophisticated appreciation of the logic and conceptual grammar of terms of psychological description than from any empirical consideration. In this, the functionalist theory of mind exhibit...

Charge Transport in LDPE Nanocomposites Part I—Experimental Approach

This work presents results of bulk conductivity and surface potential decay measurements on low-density polyethylene and its nanocomposites filled with uncoated MgO and Al2O3, with the aim to highlight the effect of the nanofillers on charge transport processes. Material samples at various filler contents, up to 9 wt %, were prepared in the form of thin films. The performed measurements show a ...

Towards Understanding Spectral Degeneracies in Nonstrange Hadrons. Part I: Mesons as Hadron Strings vs. Phenomenology

The spectroscopic regularities of modern empirical data on the nonstrange mesons up to 2.4 GeV can be summarized as a systematic clustering of states near certain values of energy. It is getting evident that some unknown X-symmetry triggers the phenomenon. We perform a thorough phenomenological check of a recently proposed formula M 2 ∼ L + n, which explains the X-symmetry. A semiclassical hadr...

Mysticism and beyond Buddhist phenomenology, part II

This paper is an extension of Buddhist phenomenology, Barendregt 1988], hereafter called part I. That paper is a personal account of part of the mental training towards the puriication of consciousness. For the reading of the present paper, however, no acquaintance with part I is required. This paper continues the description of experiences obtained during the practice of intensive vipassana me...
