Abstract This article examines the degree to which Mercosur conforms with theories of regional integration, taking into consideration its institutionalisation, its particular characteristics, the characteristics of its m...

Starting with Maxwell’s equations, we derive the fundamental results of the Huygens-Fresnel-Kirchhoff and Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theories of scalar diffraction and scattering. These results are then extended to cover the ...

Plants are sophisticated and intelligent natural construction materials. They can be used for enhancing the stability of shallow soil slopes and minimizing surface erosion. It is evident that the use of plants can be low...

This paper offers a critique on state formation theories used in the explanation of the rise of the biblical United Monarchy. The last three decades of archaeological and biblical research have shown that there is no fir...

This article explores the concepts of social practices through the perspectives of Pierre Bourdieu and Anthony Giddens, highlighting their contribution to micro-macro synthesis in contemporary sociology. Micro-macro synt...

The reference to Descartes in modern scientific literature on emotions is either missing or negative. And yet, one can show that the theories of emotions laid out by William James in the 1890 ’ or by Antonio Damasio on...

The use of “theory” is a common concern in public health and anthropology. However, the term can have quite distinct meanings. In this piece, we seek to name and characterize some tendencies in anthropological theori...

We consider astronomical and local bounds on the time variation of fundamental constants to test some generic Kaluza-Klein–like models and some particular cases of Beckenstein theory. Bounds on the free parameters of t...

Over the past two decades, large technology firms have evolved into complex digital ecosystems operating across multiple, interconnected markets. This transformation has been driven not only by internal innovation, but a...

We revisit, advancing a useful approximation, a recently formulated QFT treatment that successfully overcomes any troubles with infinities for non-renormalizable QFTs [J. Phys. Comm. 2 115029 (2018)]. Such methodology wa...

The current article introduces the issue of race and racism in the United States of America with focus on two specific contemporary concepts that have a big attention and have formed the discussion in the last years. The...

In this essay I will argue that natural selection is more important to functional explanations than what has been thought in some of the literature in philosophy of biology. I start by giving a brief overview of the two ...

We analyze the infrared behavior of the two and four-point functions for the massless O(N) model in Lorentzian de Sitter spacetime, using the 1/N expansion. Our approach is based in the study of the Schwinger-Dyson equat...
