This paper is an invitation to carry out science and engineering for a class of socio-technical systems where individuals — who may be human or artificial entities — engage in purposeful collective interactions within a shared web-mediated social space. We put forward a characterization of these systems and introduce some conceptual distinctions that may help to plot the work ahead. In particul...

An electromagnetic trinity comprising vacuum, anti–vacuum, and ni-hility is postulated — after making use of materials with " negative per-mittivity " and " negative permeability " — to illuminate the structure of electromagnetic theory, at least insofar as the relationship of phase velocity with Poynting vector is concerned.

I discuss the historical and conceptual roots of reasoning about the parameters of fundamental physics and cosmology based on selection effects. I argue concretely that such reasoning can and should be combined with arguments based on symmetry and dynamics; it supplements them, but does not replace them. * Summary talk at " Expectations of a Final Theory " , Trinity College, Cambridge, Septembe...

-Western pond turtle (Clemmys marmorata) populations were examined on two forks of the Trinity River in northern California, one of which is subject to the impacts of damming and one of which is free-flowing. Mark-recapture was conducted over a three-year period for each population, and the JollySeber model was used to estimate population size. Size/age structures were compared with reference t...

the Christian theology of religions. Introduction A remarkable revival of Trinitarian theology emerged in the twentieth century. Karl Rahner, on the Catholic side, and Karl Barth, on the Protestant side, played key roles in the “ecumenical rediscovery” of the Trinity. In addition to rethinking elements of this central doctrine (e.g., nature of divine personhood, Filioque, etc.), this resurgence...

Introduction In February 1943, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founders of quantum theory, gave a series of three lectures at Trinity College in Dublin with the title "What is Life?". These lectures changed the course of the life sciences. In the lectures, and in the subsequent book with the same title, Schrödinger advanced clear and compelling hypotheses about the molecula...
