Reification and Fetishism: Processes of Transformation

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...

transformation processes: an overview

transformationprocessesdebate ontheinteractionsbetween archaeological artifacts  and structures based on their natural and cultural environments. these processes provide a good picture about the site formation after its creation until now. recognition of these processes and their context help archaeologists to interpret archaeological data in an appropriate way. in this paper i would argue abou...

performance of biological system and advanced oxidation processes (aop) treating antibiotic production industrial wastewater

در این مطالعه، عملکرد دو سیستم اکسیداسیون شیمیایی پیشرفته و یک سیستم بیولوژیکی برای حذف آموکسی سیلین در فاضلاب های سنتزیدر غلظت های مشابه با موارد صنعتی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته شدند. مطالعه انجام شده دارای سه بخش متفاوت اکسیداسیون با ازن و اشعه uv، اکسیداسیون با استفاده از نانو فتوکاتالیست tio2 و استفاده از بیوراکتور هوازی لجن فعال با جداکننده های فیزیکی می باشد. در هر بخش، متغیر های متفاوتی متنا...

Drakes, seadevils, and similarity fetishism

Homeostatic property clusters (HPCs) are offered as a way of understanding natural kinds, especially biological species. I review the HPC approach and then discuss an objection by Ereshefsky and Matthen, to the effect that an HPC qua cluster seems ill-fitted as a description of a polymorphic species. The standard response by champions of the HPC approach is to say that all members of a polymorp...
