I review various ideas on MOND cosmology and structure formation beginning with non-relativistic models in analogy with Newtonian cosmology. I discuss relativistic MOND cosmology in the context of Bekenstein’s theory and propose an alternative biscalar effective theory of MOND in which the acceleration parameter, a0 is identified with the cosmic time derivative of a matter coupling scalar field...

At its origins, thermodynamics was the study of heat and engines. Carnot transformed it into a scientific discipline by explaining engine power in terms of transfer of “caloric”. That idea became the second law of thermodynamics when Thomson and Clausius reconciled Carnot’s theory with Joule’s conflicting thesis that power was derived from the consumption of heat, which was determined to be a f...

introduction: the goal of integration of digital libraries (dl) is to utilize various autonomous dls in concert to provide knowledge from such island-dls. integrated digital libraries (idls) appeared after the emergence of dls in 1990s, invention of integrated information systems from 2000 and consolidation of them during the recent decade. the ministry of health and medical education (mhme) of...

Abstract This paper defends a conceptualistic version of structuralism as the most convincing way elaborating philosophical understanding in line with classical tradition. The argument begins revision tradition “conceptual mathematics”, incarnated key figures period 1850 to 1940 like Riemann, Dedekind, Hilbert or Noether, showing how it led structuralist methodology. Then tension between ‘presu...
