the precise understanding of the concept of political freedom and its kinds without a special attention to its elements and principles is impossible. therefore, in this article after, analysing the elements and principles of political freedom, the author has tried to introduce a brief analysis of this concept. his analytical approach is based on mac callum's. accordingly, political freedom...

In this paper we defend a new empirical measure for Autonomy Freedom. We also argument that Autonomy Freedom is the most appropriate metric of freedom in socio-economical contexts. Firstly, we explain what Autonomy is, by surveying the related literature. This exercise will show that Autonomy is indeed the most adequate framework to capture the notion of freedom in its full understanding. Then,...

AESTRACT THEAUTHOR FRAMES THE POLICY ISSUES surrounding children and digital libraries by establishing two criteria for decision making: (1) Does this policy facilitate access to information by children and young adults? and (2) Does this policy enable the library to provide better service to children and young adults? The intellectual freedom issues are discussed along with the range of respon...

in this research work, a novel parallel manipulator with high positioning and orienting rate is introduced. this mechanism has two rotational and one translational degree of freedom. kinematics and jacobian analysis are investigated. moreover, workspace analysis and optimization has been performed by using genetic algorithm toolbox in matlab software. because of decreasing moving elements, it i...

this work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of tricept parallel manipulator. observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. the effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...

Following a highly publicized and anomalous outcome in the South Carolina statewide Democratic primary South Carolina in June 2010, the authors undertook to audit the election results based on data obtainable through the Freedom of Information Act. The state votes entirely on paperless ES&S iVotronic Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) machines. There is thus no auditable primary data (such as pa...

ownership and freedom are two essential rights and of value to human beings. by contrast to preliminary reviews, the link between these two values is very solid, and they have a reciprocal relation.not only can they serve as the foundation of each other, but also in case of departing this equilibrium, each can have a negative effect on the other. the relationship between the two is the subject ...
