How did Western economic learning come to claim status as a separate discipline? When – and how – did it begin to define and organize its own field of specialization, vocabulary, areas of interest and methods of study? What kind of methodological problems were raised by the attempt to make economic knowledge a real science? What ties were there between the study of production, exchange and …
Welcome to Linux Mint! It's time to discover one of the most amazing operating system in the World. Linux Mint is not just an operating system. It's a complete open source project supported by hundreds of volunteers. Let's start to know more about it!
The subject of this study is Rosa Luxemburg’s contribution to economic theory. It arose out of materials gathered for a broader monograph, on the economic views of the Polish–German socialist, that was abandoned by the author. Such a narrowing of the subject-matter may nevertheless have some practical advantages. At a certain stage of research, one of the fundamental duties of the historian…
By the time you are holding this book in your hands, I will have 30 years in since the first time I wrote some code. That code was ROM-BASIC on a TRS-80 in Washington grammar school in Owosso, Michigan, and I was in the fifth grade. Making the “tank” slide back and forth shooting blips across the screen was neat. Changing the code to change blip speeds and numbers of targets was exhilaratin…
To know and cooperate with the laws of health in order to retain, or regain, health is most important. The study of disease takes a secondary place to the study of the laws of life. To know how to employ every rational means at our disposal in order to avert sickness should be our constant study and goal. Life’s activities are centered in the home. Parents should be an example of good h…
One important premise of Hicks’s theoretical framework is the distinction between the structure of reality and the purpose-oriented arrangement of human actions. There are reasons to believe that, at an early stage of his development as an economist, Hicks came across the distinction between an ‘order of being’ and an ‘order of doing,’ as discussed by Maffeo Pantaleoni (Pantaleoni, 19…
Text editing is one of the most common tasks on any computer system, and vi is one of the most useful standard text editors on a system. With vi you can create new files or edit any existing text-only file. vi, like many of the classic utilities developed during the early years of Unix, has a reputation for being hard to navigate. Bram Moolenaar’s enhanced clone, Vim (“vi Improved”), has …

This book starts with an introduction to the evolving landscape of NoSQL, explor…
A Fluid-Structure Interaction model is studied for aortic flow, based on Koiter’s shell model for the structure, Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid and transpiration for the coupling. It accounts for wall deformation while yet working on a fixed geometry. The model is established first. Then a numerical approximation is proposed and some tests are given. The model is also used for optima…
