Abstract This essay argues that the deontological view of morality is connected to extreme and massive forms violence through a kind phenomenological necessity. In first main section, I examine one family such violence, which usually comes under label “religious violence”. argue it not religious element but disqualification context from realm justification characterizes violence. second phenome...

In the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, ozone and particulate matter (PM) are the air pollutants that pose the greatest threat to air quality, since the PM and the ozone precursors (nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds) are the main source of air pollution from vehicular emissions. Vehicular emissions can be measured inside road tunnels, and those measurements can provide infor...

In order to investigate the difference in diurnal variation of autonomic control between young male mild to moderate hypertensive and normotensive white-collar workers, we accessed heart rate variability with ambulatory blood pressure for over 24 hours including work and sleep periods. Both mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP) were significantly (p<0.01) higher in hypertens...

This paper considers parental duties of beneficence and non-maleficence to use prenatal genetic testing for non-treatable conditions. It is proposed that this can be a duty only if the testing is essential to protect the interests of the child i.e. only if there is a risk of the child being born to a life worse than non-existence. It is argued here that non-existence can be rationally preferred...

A DLL(Delay Locked Loop) with DCC(Duty Cycle Correction) has become an essential block in high speed memory and digital circuits. An SMD(Synchronous Mirror Delay) structure is widely used both for skew reduction and for DCC. In this paper, an area-efficient DLL structure based on the merged dual SMD is proposed. The merged structure allows the forward delay array to be shared between the DLL an...

This article discusses how prosecutors should conduct themselves in light of the principle that has traditionally ben thought to define the prosecutor’s professional ethos: “the duty to seek justice.” Part I sketches the outlines of this concept, both historically and in its contemporary incarnation. Part II offers two reasons for asking why prosecutors should seek justice. Part III examines al...

In an energy-synchronized sensor network, each sensor node needs to synchronize its duty-cycle with its residual energy (or energy harvesting rate) to meet a predefined network lifetime requirement. A key research challenge of such energysynchronized sensor networks is how to collaboratively utilize the heterogeneous node duty-cycles for efficient and fair data delivery. In the proposed system,...
