Two Outline Models of Science
نویسنده
چکیده
Two abstract and computational models of the long-term process of science are proposed: AMS and HAMS. An outline specification of each model is given and the relationship between them explained. AMS takes an Olympian ("artificial world") view of science and its processes. HAMS is simpler and relatively more abstract and comprises only a small set of core processes. A first implementation of HAMS is described. How AMS and HAMS might be validated and used in experimental investigations is considered including problems that might arise. Further work is proposed. A brief coda concerns a related model of science formulated from an idealist rather than a materialist perspective.

Using the outline analysis of otolith to study stocks of the predominant species of genus Acanthopagrus )Sparidae family) in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
The present study was conducted using geometric morphometric analysis of otolith to discriminate stocks of the predominant species of genus Acanthopagrus in the west and east of Strait of Hormuz. Samples were taken from 5 regions in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea from March 2016 to March 2018. The 145-otolith samples were obtained from the Arabian yellowfin sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus). Th...

The Bikilal layered gabbro-complex is composed of zones/layers of olivine/ pyroxene gabbro and hornblende gabbro. Within the hornblende gabbro, repeated lens-like thin and elongated bodies of hornblendite are found intimately associated with massive and disseminated ilmenite-magnetite bodies, in places with apatite. Petrological examination of the hornblende gabbro shows 50-55% hornblende, 40-4...
