The influence of Cambridge Platonist Ralph Cudworth’s philosophical system on Coleridge’s notion of contemplation is explored in Chapter 12. Coleridge studied Cudworth’s True Intellectual System early in his career, from 1795 to 1797, before his acquaintance with German thought. Flores contends that Coleridge’s theory of contemplative experience has an initial basis in the Cambridge Platonist’s ontological and epistemological tenets. Coleridge’s conversation poems, written during his perusal of Cudworth’s magnum opus, lay the groundwork for a metaphysical theory of contemplation. In these, which he called ‘Meditative Poems in Blank Verse’, Coleridge dramatizes meditative experience as he conceived it at this early stage of his career. Flores establishes a comparison between Coleridge’s early view of contemplative experience, and the related ‘Order of the Mental Powers’ in considering the influence of Cudworth’s philosophical tenets in Coleridge’s Platonist foundations.

The Brain

There are two classes of men who occupy themselves in observations on mental functions, frequently working widely apart from each other. These are, the metaphysicians, who investigate the phenomena of mind apart from anatomical or physiological facts, and the physiologists, who keep as exclusively to their own labours. Neither of these classes of men have as yet formed any philosophical system of the mental powers, and other functions of the brain; and it may be safely asserted that it is only by a combination of metaphysics and physiology that we can advance any considerable steps in our knowledge. The philosophical Reid, whose greatest disciple was Sir William Hamilton, stated many years ago, in his “Essays on the Powers of the Human Mind,” that they are “so many, so various, and so connected and complicated in most of their operations, that there never has been any division of them proposed which is not liable to considerable objections.” All the classifications made by metaphysicians differ materially from each other, and what was true in Reid's time is true now. We have a different race of metaphysicians from those who flourished years ago, different from Reid, Dugald Stewart, and Brown, but as yet we seem no nearer than we were to a systematic and comprehensive classification of mental faculties, or more properly, of the functions of the brain. I would not say that no progress has been made, for a vast mass of facts has been accumulated, and careful observations have been made, which will be available at some future period for a scientific and philosophical classification.

Breast cancer has emerged as the main reason behind most cancers deaths amoungwomen. To decrease the emerging issue, cancer should be handled at the early stage, however it's extremely complicated to discover associated diagnose tumors at a premature stage. Manual analysis of cancer is found to be extremely time consumingprocess andincompetent in several scenarios. As a result, there exists a choice for sensibleschemes that identifies the cancerous cell,simultaneouslydeprived of any participation of people and with excessive accuracy. Here, formulated automatic method victimization Artificial Neural Network (ANN)as better intellectual system for breast cancer classification. Image Processingtakes part avitalplace in cancer recognition once input document is inside the style of pixels. Feature extraction of image could be very vital in Mammogram classification. Alternatives feature extraction methods have been developed recently. An absolutely distinctive function extraction method isused for classification of conventional and Normal cancer image classification. This methodology can offer maximum accuracy at a high speed. The applied math parameter encompass entropy, mean, power, correlation, texture, variance .This constraints can act as a inputs to ANN which is adequate enough to identify and provides the outcome whether or not patient is suffering from cancerous or not.

Transcendent Wisdom

Shadrā, who is known as the leader of Islamic philosophy, succeeded in synthesizing various views of the previous schools of thought. His philosophy is al-Hikmat al-Muta'āliyat which means transcendent wisdom as a transmission of wisdom that is directly present in a person through inner cultivation and spiritual purity. The synthesis is listed in the magnum opus, namely al-Asfār al-Arba'at. What and how Shadrā builds philosophical ideas on top of mystical and rational approaches is a speciality in Shadrā's philosophy. The existence of a relationship between each travel hierarchy and its philosophy is the focus of discussion in this study. This article is a literature study based on descriptive-analytical and holistic methods. The aim is to reveal how the hierarchy of Sadrā's spiritual journey relates to the building of his philosophy. Then look at the concept holistically that there is a connection between mystical experiences that contribute to building a holistic and diverse philosophical system.

The Wobbler mouse (wr) has been studied as a model for inherited human motoneuron diseases (MNDs). Using behavioral tests for forelimb power, walking, climbing, and the “clasp-like reflex” response, the progress of the MND can be categorized into early (Stage 1, age 21 days) and late (Stage 4, age 3 months) stages. Age-and sex-matched normal phenotype littermates (NFR/wr) were used as controls (Stage 0), as well as mice from two related wild-type mouse strains: NFR/N and a C57BI/6N. Using behavioral tests, we also detected pre-symptomatic Wobblers at postnatal ages 7 and 14 days. The mice were anesthetized and perfusion-fixed for immunocytochemical (ICC) of CGRP and ChAT in the spinal cord (C3 to C5).Using computerized morphomety (Vidas, Zeiss), the numbers of IR-CGRP labelled motoneurons were significantly lower in 14 day old Wobbler specimens compared with the controls (Fig. 1). The same trend was observed at 21 days (Stage 1) and 3 months (Stage 4). The IR-CGRP-containing motoneurons in the Wobbler specimens declined progressively with age.

High Resolution Microscopy

Recent commercial microscopes with internal microprocessor control of all major functions have already demonstrated some of the benefits anticipated from such systems, such as continuous magnification, rotation-free diffraction and magnification, automatic recording of mutually registered focal series, and fewer control knobs. Complete automation of the focusing, stigmating and alignment of a high resolution microscope, allowing focal series to be recorded at preselected focus values as well, is still imminent rather than accomplished, however; some kind of image pick-up and analysis system, fed with the electron image via a TV camera, is clearly essential for this, but several alternative systems and algorithms are still being explored. This paper reviews the options critically in turn, and stresses the need to consider alignment and focusing at an early stage, and not merely as an optional extension to a basic proposal.

Ternary Intermetallic Compound

The galvannealed steel sheets have received ever increased attention because of their excellent post-painting corrosion resistance and good weldability. However, its powdering and flaking tendency during press forming processes strongly impairs its performance. In order to optimize the properties of galvanneal coatings, it is critical to control the reaction rate between solid iron and molten zinc.In commercial galvannealing line, aluminum is added to zinc bath to retard the diffusion rate between iron and zinc by the formation of a thin layer of Al intermetallic compound on the surface of steel at initial hot-dip galvanizing. However, the form of this compound and its transformation are still speculated. In this paper, we report the direct observations of this compound and its transformation.The specimens were prepared in a hot-dip simulator in which the steel was galvanized in the zinc bath containing 0.14 wt% of Al at a temperature of 480 °C for 5 seconds and was quenched by liquid nitrogen.

Essential Problem

Recently, interest has focused on the epitaxy of GaAs on Si as a promising material for electronic applications, potentially for integration of optoelectronic devices on silicon wafers. The essential problem concerns the 4% misfit between the two materials, and this must be accommodated by a network of interfacial dislocations with the lowest number of threading dislocations. It is thus important to understand the detailed mechanism of the formation of this network, in order to eventually reduce the dislocation density at the top of the layers.MOVPE growth is carried out on slightly misoriented, (3.5°) from (001) towards , Si substrates. Here we report on the effect of this misorientation on the interfacial defects, at a very early stage of growth. Only the first stage, of the well-known two step growth process, is thus considered. Previously, we showed that full substrate coverage occured for GaAs thicknesses of 5 nm in contrast to MBE growth, where substantially greater thicknesses are required.
