In "Ontology, or the Theory of Being," P. Coffey delves into the intricate philosophical landscape surrounding the nature of existence. The text deftly intertwines rigorous analysis with accessible prose, making complex metaphysical concepts comprehensible. Coffey constructs his arguments through a series of dialectical explorations, drawing from a rich tapestry of philosophical thought, including existentialism and phenomenology. This work not only situates itself within the tradition of ...

In "Ontology, or the Theory of Being," P. Coffey delves into the intricate workings of existence and identity, bridging metaphysical inquiry with contemporary philosophical discourse. Coffey employs a rigorous analytical prose style that invites readers into the nuanced realms of ontological distinctions, exploring how concepts of being shape our understanding of reality. Drawing on a rich tapestry of historical and modern philosophical thought, the text situates itself in the broader line...

Our original objective in writing this book was to demonstrate how the concept of the equation of motion of a Brownian particle — the Langevin equation or Newtonian-like evolution equation of the random phase space variables describing the motion — first formulated by Langevin in 1908 — so making him inter alia the founder of the subject of stochastic differential equations, may be extended to solve the nonlinear problems arising from the Brownian motion in a potential. Such problems appea...

The narrative of Spiro Agnew's rise and fall has never been fully told. This compelling book tells the story of one of the most controversial, high-level politicians of recent American history and explains the importance of Agnew's life and career.Too often overlooked by students of modern conservatism, Spiro T. Agnew's political career mirrored the transformation of the Republicans from a "big tent" party to a narrower, more conservative, and ideologically purer o...

This volume is the third edition of the first-ever elementary book on the Langevin equation method for the solution of problems involving the translational and rotational Brownian motion of particles and spins in a potential highlighting modern applications in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and so on. In order to improve the presentation, to accommodate all the new developments, and to appeal to the specialized interests of the various communities involved, the book has been e...

We all have a wanderer in us. These poems are meant to explore that. From the moment we wake, until we close our eyes. We are wandering.From the time we close our eyes at night, until we wake. We wander in our dreams. Just pay attention. The whole world around us is open for interpretation.About the AuthorWith no formal education in the writing field, poetry seemed to be a way of expression suitable for my writing.My main inspirations came mainly from the musi...

Presenting in a coherent and accessible fashion current results in nanomagnetism, this book constitutes a comprehensive, rigorous and readable account, from first principles of the classical and quantum theories underlying the dynamics of magnetic nanoparticles subject to thermal fluctuations.Starting with the Larmor-like equation for a giant spin, both the stochastic (Langevin) equation of motion of the magnetization and the associated evolution (Fokker-Planck) equation for the distributi...

NAFTA has been described by one expert as being a partial customs union. It is, in any case, a special kind of free trade area because it consists of two highly developed economies and one large third world economy.In this book, the contributors examine the specific interests of the three member countries, Canada, Mexico, and the United States in the creation of NAFTA. They also assess the influence of this trade area on their economics.Looking to the future, doubts are expre...

These proceedings of the 5th Prouts Neck Meeting on Prostate Cancer, held in October, 1989, highlight the many advances in the understanding of prostatic growth and function at the cellular and molecular levels which have been registered since the first Prouts Neck Meeting in 1985, a meeting which also focused on the then current concepts and basic approaches to understanding prostate cancer. Inter vening Prouts Neck Meetings in 1986, 1987 and 1988 were devoted to treatment, image cytometr...
