Said one devil: ‘‘To see good people, look at the saludadores, who . . . claim they do possess virtue.’’ They took offence and said that it was true that they possessed it. And to this replied [another] devil: ‘‘How can it be that virtue is found in wanderers who do naught but blow?’’ The absence of any clear dividing line between the fields of medicine and religion in early modern Spain become...

Resumen : Para Domingo Báñez la especulación teológica necesita de Metafísica: ambas tienen por objeto estudio a Dios; el conocimiento teológico Dios supone metafísico. Metafísica, es Acto puro ser, y gracia una participación ese Acto, intensificación del acto ser. Pero no solo idea abstracta, sino un ser real, con quien posible vivir en comunión mística. La Teología se cultiva aprovechamiento ...

The medieval theological worldview was a synthesis of grace and nature that allowed theology science to act together in sacred salvific pursuit knowledge. This is beautifully expressed the Divine Ideas tradition. In this tradition, tapestry upon which ancient written, created things existed by reflecting God’s eternal ideas them. gave all natural knowledge Trinitarian dimension because generati...

Our previous MMCN03 paper reported a cross-layer adaptation framework, GRACE-1, that coordinates the adaptation of CPU frequency/voltage, CPU scheduling, and application quality. GRACE-1 assumes that all application processes (or threads) are independent from each other and adapt individually. This assumption, however, is invalid for multithreaded applications that include dependent and coopera...

[1] There is increasing interest in using Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data to remotely monitor groundwater storage variations; however, comparisons with ground-based well data are limited but necessary to validate satellite data processing, especially when the study area is close to or below the GRACE footprint. The Central Valley is a heavily irrigated region with...

BACKGROUND The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score is widely recommended for risk assessment in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Chronic hyperglycemia [hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c)] can independently predict major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with ACS. We investigated whether the prediction of MACEs with the GRACE score could be improved with the addit...

BACKGROUND In acute coronary syndrome (ACS), both the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) predict cardiovascular events. However, it is unknown how BNP compares with GRACE and how their combination performs in ACS. METHODS The authors recruited 449 consecutive ACS patients and measured admission GRACE score and bedside BNP levels. The ma...

This article explores the state of the art in theories of special divine action by means of a study of the Divine Action Project (DAP) co-sponsored by the Vatican Observatory and the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley. The basic aim is to introduce the DAP and to summarize its results, especially as these were compiled in the final “capstone” meeting of the DAP, and drawin...

e nature of divine eternality is obscure in both historical andmodern discussions. In a way its obscurity is no surprise, given that the nature of time is so mysterious. But the obscurity is still notable relative to the other traditional divine attributes, which are comparatively much better understood. Our perplexities regarding eternality are compounded, I will argue here, by a failure to re...
