Chapter 15 treats rhythm as the shaping of events and their succession, rather than as a pre-existent or transcendent order of isochronous division or fixed pattern. Although “rhythm” has come to imply the regularity of a repeated unit or pattern, the author argues that it also evokes the dynamic, temporal connotations of flow conceived not as of a homogeneous substance (“time”) but rather as a fluid, active, and characterful creation of things or events. The chapter thus prioritizes a living, subjective sense of rhythm over a non-vital, objective concept. The author relates this concept to poetry through a reading of the opening of Keats’s “Hymn to Pan,” from Endymion, analyzing the continuing “life” of the vocal impulse along the lines and through the word-sounds taken as “mouth events”—a reading after the manner of M. H. Abrams.

For Su?rez, the object of the metaphysics is being insofar as it is real being (ens reale). In order to explain this, the author analyzes Su?rez?s notions of formal and objective concept (conceptus formalis, conceptus objectivus). Su?rez finds that the primary feature of the objective concept of being is its unity; nevertheless that does not imply the univocal concept of being because the objective concept of being is applied on its instances on diverse ways. When considering what is being (ens), Su?rez makes the difference between being taken as a noun and being taken as a participle. The later one signifies everything actually existing; being as a noun signifies everything which have the real essence (essentia realis), with actual existence or without it. The real essence he defines as something that is not repugnant to actual existence and which is not a figment of mind. The objective concept of being is a result of precisive abstraction and encompass all real essences, actual as well as non-actual. As such, for Su?rez, it is the object of the metaphysics as a science.

Origami has provided various interesting applications in science and engineering. Appropriate representations and evaluation on crease patterns play an important role in developing an innovative origami structure with desired characteristics. However, this is generally a challenge encountered by scientists and engineers who introduce origami into various fields. As most practical origami structures contain repeated unit cells, graph products provide a suitable choice for the formation of crease patterns. Here, we will employ undirected and directed graph products as a tool for the representation of crease patterns and their corresponding truss frameworks of origami structures. Given that an origami crease pattern can be considered to be a set of directionless crease lines that satisfy the foldability condition, we demonstrate that the pattern can be exactly expressed by a specific graph product of independent graphs. It turns out that this integrated geometric-graph-theoretic method can be effectively implemented in the formation of different crease patterns and provide suitable numbering of nodes and elements. Furthermore, the presented method is useful for constructing the involved matrices and models of origami structures and thus enhances configuration processing for geometric, kinematic, or mechanical analysis on origami structures.

Quasicrystals, which have long-range orientational order without translational symmetry, are incompatible with the theory of conventional crystals, which are characterized by periodic lattices and uniformly repeated unit cells. Reported here is a novel quasicrystal-related solid state observed in two Al–Cr–Fe–Si alloys, which can be described as a mosaic of aperiodically distributed unit tiles in translationally periodic structural blocks. This new type of material possesses the opposing features of both conventional crystals and quasicrystals, which might trigger wide interest in theory, experiments and the potential applications of this type of material.

Both micro- and meso-scale structures are involved in the analyses of many composite materials such as filament-wound tubes. In this paper, a unified approach for applying periodic boundary conditions to micro/meso-scale repeated unit cell models in the finite element analysis is presented. As an application example, a two-scale analysis of a ±θ helical filament-wound tube is provided.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the applicability of Orientation Criteria of the Croatian Supreme Court from 2002. on determining compensation for non-pecuniary damage by the Law on Obligations from 2005. When Law on Obligations (2005) came into force, it essentially changed the system of compensation for non-pecuniary damage in such a way that, instead of the subjective concept of non-pecuniary damage, it introduced an objective concept of non-pecuniary damage.Attention is given to the basic problems in defining nonpecuniary damage and the recognition of the right to monetary compensation in personal injuries cases.
