Living Organ Donation, Beneficient Helping, & the Kantian Concept of Partial Self-Murder
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)
This paper deals with the ethical issues concerning living organ donor transplantation in the context
of Immanuel Kant’s Ethical Theory. It primarily aims to refute the common perception about
Kant’s categorical opposition ...
Philosophy of Education: A Tool for National Development?
(Scientific Research, 2014-08)
This paper is an exposition on the theoretical and practical relevance of educational philosophy to
national development. It postulated that philosophical ideas have been responsible for shaping
the development of societies ...
Why the Bible Cannot and Should Not Be Taken Literally
(Scientific Research, 2014-08)
This paper argues that there are at least five reasons why the claim that the Bible is to be taken
literally defies logic or otherwise makes no sense, and why literalists are in no position to claim
that they have the ...
Are Background Feelings Intentional Feelings?
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)
I address the problem of the intentionality of “feeling”, considering the study-case of “background
feelings” (malaise, tension, etc.) in Damasio (2003, 2010). Background feelings, in fact, are “border
case” feelings: ...
Additive Property and the Physical Reducibility of the Mind
(Scientific Research, 2014-05)
It is controversial whether the mind is physically reducible or not. If the mind is physically reducible,
it must share properties with the physical world. To find out how the mind can be characterized,
an “additive ...
On-Line Measurement of the Chemical Oxygen Demand in Wastewater in a Pulp and Paper Mill Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Scientific Research, 2014-10)
Although near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been evaluated for numerous applications, the
number of actual on-line or even on-site industrial applications seems to be very limited. In the
present paper, the attempts ...
Simulation of Average Turbulent Pipe Flow: A Three-Equation Model
(Scientific Research, 2014-03)
The aim of this study is to evaluate a three-equation turbulence model applied to pipe flow. Uncertainty is approximated by comparing with published direct numerical simulation results for fully-developed average pipe flow. ...
Pathogenicity of individual isolates of entomopathogenic fungi affects feeding preference of red imported fire ants Solenopsis invicta
(published online, 2014-01)
Seven isolates of entomopathogenic fungi, Isaria fumosorosea (IFCF-H and
IFCF-L), Beauveria bassiana s.l. (Bb02 and Bb04) and Metarhizium anisopliae s.l.
(Ma01, SM076 and M09), were selected for their pathogenicity against ...
Novel Power Law of Turbulent Spectrum
(Scientific Research, 2014-06)
This paper is concerned with novel power law of turbulent energy spectrum and the relevant experiment in tidal current. The power law in the inertial sub-range has been proposed in such a way that the power of the ...
Quantum Chemical Studies on the Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel by Piperidin-4-One Derivatives in 1 M H3PO4
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)
The corrosion inhibition properties of 2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one (DPP) (1A) and 2,6-diphenyldihydro-2H-thiopyran-4(3H)-one
(DPDT) (1B) for mild steel in 1 M phosphoric acid were studied
using weight loss, potentiodynamic ...
