Abstract Business ethicists disagree on whether John Rawls’s political philosophy can be applied to their questions and concerns. They concur, however, that, if warranted, such an application of his theory would highly instructive for the field. This article scrutinizes that assumption. The paper examines what extent a normative import into business ethics indeed render adequate results. Highli...

This paper addresses the problem of adapting a generic 3D face model to a human face of which the frontal and profile views are given. Assuming that a set of feature points have been detected on both views the adaptation procedure initializes with a rigid transformation of the model aiming to minimize the distances of the 3D model feature nodes from the calculated 3D coordinates of the 2D featu...

Drop size distribution in a mixer-settler is an essential design parameter, as obtaining drop size distribution will result in optimum performance of equipment. In this paper for obtaining drop size, several experiments have been performed with a single stage horizontal mixer-settler. A video technique has been used in order to measure the drop size in the mixer-settler with the help of a digit...

the fluid flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional microchannel filled with al2o3- water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity and pressure field in the momentum equations. the thermal and flow fields were analyzed using different volume fractions of nanoparticles and diffe...

Figure 1: Course of the common, deep (blue) and superficial peroneal nerve, sites of stimulation for motor nerve conduction studies are shown by green discs. Figure 1 Textbooks of neurology are just like cookery or gardening books. It is all so easy on paper. With a good working knowledge of neurological anatomy, it seems, almost any problem can be precisely localised. A couple of of hours yomp...

The aim of the project is to detect and quantify the egect of sea state on the wind stress. An overview of the basic theory of wind stress in the surface layer is provided, along with a more detailed description of the inertial dissipation method which is used to obtain stress estimates for this study. Wind stress measurements by other researchers illustrate the large scatter which seems to be ...
