This article focuses on Han Kangbo 韓康伯 (332-380/385 CE) exegetical works on the Zhouyi 周易, especially his commentary on the Xici Zhuan 繫辭傳. It aims at developing a philosophical reading of three key terms of the Changes exegetical tradition: dao 道, taiji 太極, and shen 神. Although Han's works represent a major step within the history of Changes exege...

Leaning interfaces, which conceptualize the human body as a two-axis analog joystick for locomotion, hold great promise for enhancing immersive VR experiences. This paper identifies three key barriers to their broader adoption: technical challenges (e.g., accurate tracking and calibration), lack of familiarity among developers and researchers, and...

À partir de la question de savoir comment la science peut expliquer, ce texte pose la question à l’égard des formes d’enquêtes qui semblent inaptes à prédire. La question du modèle d’explication qui admettrait des données statistiques est ensuite confrontée aux idéaux rigoureusement prédictivistes et peut-être subrepticement déterministes. En discu...

Interference effects are usually observed by intensity measurement. Path indistinguishability by quantum complementarity principle requires projection of the interfering fields into a common indistinguishable mode before detection. On the other hand, the essence of wave interference is the addition of amplitudes of the interfering fields. Therefore...

Wahl's local Euler characteristic measures the local contributions of a singularity to the usual Euler characteristic of a sheaf. Using tools from toric geometry, we study the local Euler characteristic of sheaves of symmetric differentials for isolated surface singularities of type $A_n$. We prove an explicit formula for the local Euler characteri...

Modern cosmological observations are often taken as compelling evidence for an expanding universe. However, a purely classical electromagnetic viewpoint suggests that if the total energy of the universe is constant, then any nonzero energy density can reduce the speed of light below its nominal vacuum value. In this paper, we argue that a universe...

The comments present the erroneous processing of diffraction data. The ‘novel’ complex material KBiFeMnO5 described in the commented paper does not exists at all. The studied sample was mainly the sillenite Bi25FeO40 or/and Bi24Mn2O40 instead of brownmillerite KBiFeMnO5. Thus, the data from subsequent experiments are without scientific value.

A bstract In this work we consider sub-leading O ( Z ² α ³ ) corrections to coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS). These corrections are not negligible by power counting since nuclei with large coherent cross sections have sizeable nuclear charges e.g. Zα ∼ 0.4. We find that the corrections are much smaller than naive power counting...

Conventional multifocal displays deliver effective monocular focus cues but lack sufficient motion parallax, while multi-view displays offer motion parallax with no monocular focus cues.

In 1811, Beethoven opted for ‘Allegretto' for the second movement of his seventh symphony, to which he added the metronome mark crotchet = MM76.

By investigating the purpose, rationale, and background, this article attempts to clarify why the original tempo...
