According Biblical Thomism, God’s action is something abstract for us, constitutes principle – exemplar Christian action. Therefore this paper will firstly present multiple senses (triplex requies) c...

This paper reviews an important period in the use of cryptographic methods in Mexican History, the Mexican Revolution from 1910–1916. As is the case in any civil war, there were many groups in conflict. Among several leaders in theMexican Revolution, it is worth mentioning Porfirio Dı́az, Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza. They represent three main groups which used characteristic cryp...

The historic relation between Frege and ‘Frege’s principle’ is investigated. What did Frege intend with the principle, did he change his opinion concerning it, did he invent the principle? Johan van Benthem did twenty years ago reseach on another aspect of Frege’s work and some of his opinions are confirmed by the present research. His pregnant formulations and suggestive metaphors are quoted w...

Borrowing from multiple creditors exposes firms to liquidation risks due to coordination problems among creditors, but it also improves the firms’ repayment incentives, thereby increasing pledgeability. Based on this trade-off, I develop a dynamic debt rollover model to analyze the evolution of creditor dispersion. Consistent with empirical findings, firms optimally increase the number of credi...

Blockchain and distributed ledger technology (BC/DLT) provides databases with decentralized governance, tamper-proof recording, high availability non-copyable digital assets, which have made it a natural technological basis for supply chain management. In this paper, we introduce REALISTIC, novel event-based modeling framework networks (SCNs) that includes production processes . It extends McCa...

This paper departs from biblical images of creation (wisdom, word, mirror), and goes on to consider those in three medieval thinkers the Neoplatonist tradition. Firstly, Johannes Scotus Eriugena, who uses sapientia principio images. Secondly, St Hildegard Bingen, whose visions wisdom mirror-God appear. In third place, M. Eckhart, refers his Latin writings God’s se ipso. The article will try sho...

Abstract A Darwinian perspective of the standard model physics (SMP) quantum fields (QFs) is proposed, called physics-cell (PC) approach. Because evolution not deterministic, PC approach allows for violation charge-parity-time symmetry. In approach, SMP laws are contained in PCs which receive and emit QFs through PCs’ outer surface necessarily constrained by Bekenstein’s surface-information lim...
