From Observables to Unobservables in Science and Philosophy

English | 2000 | ISBN: 0761816631, 076181664X | PDF | pages: 248 | 8.9 mb
From Observables to Unobservables in Science and Philosophy focuses on knowing unobservable real things or attributes by means of observing real things or attributes, a topic central to twentieth-century scientific philosophy. Engaging both current and perennial issues in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of nature and of science, Connell writes from a realist perspective. He adds a cogent, well written, and much needed voice to the current debate over foundationalism from the perspective of the undersubscribed quarter of empirical realism. Principal audiences for this volume will be scholars and graduate students in philosophy, working in the Aristotelian tradition.

The four-volume set LNCS 3991-3994 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2006, held in Reading, UK, in May 2006.The main conference and its 32 topical workshops attracted over 1400 submissions. The 98 revised full papers and 29 revised poster papers of the main track presented together with 500 accepted workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the four volumes.The papers span the whole range of computational science, with focus on the following major themes: tackling grand challenges problems; modelling and simulations of complex systems; scalable algorithms and tools and environments for computational science. Of particular interest were the following major recent developments in novel methods and modelling of complex systems for diverse areas of science, scalable scientific algorithms, advanced software tools, computational grids, advanced numerical methods, and novel application areas where the above novel models, algorithms and tools can be efficiently applied such as physical systems, computational and systems biology, environmental systems, fin

The Science of Compression Bandages


Free Download The Science of Compression Bandages
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1032954981 | 167 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 20 MB
This book introduces and assembles essential knowledge on compression bandages, addressing a gap in the available literature on this subject. It covers the various concepts of compression therapy―from basic principles to practical applications. The subject matter in this book introduces compression therapy fundamentals, covering chronic venous diseases, clinical recommendations, and application guidelines. It also discusses bandage structure, types, pressure dynamics, and material effects on long-term compression. Dynamic compression assessment, long-term compression performance, and prediction and modelling of the compression profile of the bandage over time are also detailed along with other important concepts.
