Cartesian causation: body–body interaction, motion, and eternal truths

There is considerable debate among scholars over whether Descartes allowed for genuine body–body interaction. I begin by considering Michael Della Rocca’s recent claim that Descartes accepted such interaction, and that his doctrine of the creation of the eternal truths indicates how this interaction could be acceptable to him. Though I agree that Descartes was inclined to accept real bodily causes of motion, I differ from Della Rocca in emphasizing that his ontology ultimately does not allow for them. This is not the end of the story however, since two of Descartes’s successors offered incompatible ways of developing his conflicted account of motion. I contrast the occasionalist view of Nicolas Malebranche that changes in motion derive directly from divine volitions with the non-occasionalist claim of Pierre-Sylvain Regis that such changes derive from a nature distinct from God. In light of Della Rocca’s interpretation, it is noteworthy that the issue of eternal truths is relevant to both alternative accounts. Indeed, Regis took the doctrine that such truths are created to provide crucial support for his alternative to an occasionalist account of body–body interaction. What does not help Della Rocca, however, is that Regis’s view of motion requires a fundamental revision of Descartes’s ontology.

庞德诗作中的女性形象解读

伊兹拉·庞德是美国二十世纪初现代派诗人的代表，意象派诗歌的领袖人物，一生致力于诗歌的创新和探索。人们对他的研究主要集中于他的意象派诗歌的技巧以及他对儒家思想的探索。我们用生态女性主义的批评理论，研究庞德诗歌中的女性形象，可以为研究庞德对女性的看法提供崭薪的视角。     

市场的稳定性取决于人心

传统的市场经济的金科玉律——供求关系影响价格,价格围绕价值上下波动,使许多人误认为市场的稳定性也是由供求关系或价格决定。但是利用蛛网模型可得出结论:市场的稳定性取决于人心,即人们对商品的敏感程度。     

在线信息产品捆绑定价研究

基于在线信息产品交易各方的互动关系,考虑网络接入商与信息产品生产商各自市场垄断力的对比,研究了两者进行价格决策的先后顺序对信息产品捆绑的最终价格和对信息产品厂商采用捆绑销售策略的影响.研究结果表明当两者同时进行价格决策时,两者均分市场利润;当两者进行序贯博弈时,先决策价格者将获得先动者优势,且消费者在此情形下的总支付将大于当两者同时决策时的总支付;信息产品厂商采用何种捆绑策略与其决策顺序无关,仅与被捆绑产品的捆绑价值参数相关.     

Darstellung doppelbrechender Lipoidtropfen aus dem Serum

Summary (1) Doubly refracting lipoid droplets can be demonstrated in normal and pathological sera by means of alcohol ether extraction. This is not possible with ether extraction alone.(2) These lipoid droplets can be demonstrated only, or almost only, when they are precipitated out of alcohol or ether alcohol

Experimental Observables on Nuclear Liquid Gas Phase Transition

Progress on nuclear liquid gas phase transition （LGPT） or critical behavior has been simply reviewed and some signals of LGPT in heavy ion collisions, especially in NIMROD data, are focused. These signals include the power-law charge distribution, the largest fluctuation of the fragment observables, the nuclear Zipf law, caloric curve and critical exponent analysis etc.     

Réactions cytologiques à l'introduction pulmonaire expérimentale de particules de silicium métalloïdique

Summary By means of intratracheal injection, particles of metalloid silicium about five microns in size are introduced into the lungs of guinea pigs, and the secondary parenchymatous reactions are studied from 10 minutes to 105 days. In the dust cells, the silicium is progressively broken up into very small particles of less than 1 micron in size. The cells do not show degeneration or mummification as the ordinary silica cells (Mavrogordato) do.
