the aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. i will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologica...

Zonal ‡ow helps reduce and control the level of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence in a tokamak. The collisional damping of zonal ‡ow has been estimated by Hinton and Rosenbluth (H-R). Their calculation shows that the damping of zonal ‡ow is closely related to the frequency response of neoclassical polarization of the plasma. Based on a variational principle, H-R calculated the neoclassi...

We study the dynamic behavior of a Neoclassical growth model with finite lifetimes and imperfect altruism in which individuals can accumulate both physical and human capital. We use the model to better understand and explain the behavior of economic miracles. Our results suggest that standard Neoclassical forces can account for the performance of the miracle economies and can explain the protra...

In recent years, interest in the role of institutions in economic society has increased and economists have been forced to incorporate them into economic analysis. The institutional perspective has not only brought new challenges for economics, but also led to a re-evaluation, redefinition, and transformation of the discipline itself. It would not be an overstatement to say that the method by w...

Visual realism is defined as the extent to which an image appears to people as a photo rather than computer generated. Assessing visual realism is important in applications like computer graphics rendering and photo retouching. However, current realism evaluation approaches use either labor-intensive human judgments or automated algorithms largely dependent on comparing renderings to reference ...
