This chapter looks at how people protect the illusion of conscious will. It seems that people do this because they have an ideal of conscious agency that guides their inferences about what they must have known and willed even when they perform actions that they did not intend. The chapter analyzes the basic features of agency and then looks at how people fill in these features based on their conception of the ideal. The expectancy that intention must be there, even when the action is wholly inscrutable, can lead people to infer that they intended even the most bizarre of actions. The chapter then turns to the circumstance that first prompts the protection of the idea of will: unconscious action. When people's actions are caused unconsciously, they depend on their ideal of agency to determine what they have done.

This paper studies the basic features and functions of STCP. The traditional TCP protocol and the basic standard SCTP protocols are simulated respectively. We analysis that when the host has multiple network addresses and there are multiple paths between ends, how do the STCP protocol and TCP protocol perform. For practical implementation, using CWND size parameters show performance of multi path transmission in practice, and compare with the ideal case. The results of the simulation and analysis of multi path transmission under the SCTP agreement have practical significance in the future network with multi path transmission.

The article contributes to a vigorous debate on the significance of lifelong education and learning held at the political, practical and academic levels, especially concerning approaches of international organizations ( UNESCO in this case). It represents one of the attempts to restore the thoughts of the philosopher, which may serve as valuable sources of inspiration at the time of transitions and crises of a globalized world. The author’s explicit orientation is on ideas that have long been embraced by UNESCO’s education policy. He views them through a lens that is significantly influenced by Comenius. His philosophy is presented as a strong argument to affirm as well as a reason to partially revisit UNESCO’s position. The article builds on a combination of theoretical inquiry and critical analysis of policy documents. In his work, Comenius formulated key and timeless arguments in favour of a universal approach to education throughout the human lifespan, and he also justified why education is a prerequisite for the ability to act rightly and correct what is wrong. Comenius emphasised the ability “to understand right, to act rightly” as dependent on wisdom, and universal education as a pathway to the wisdom. Consequently, according to Comenius, universalism is bound to appreciate such forms of education that in basic features correspond to the ideal of Bildung. It is argued that what UNESCO refers to as universalism is not genuine universalism because it does not fully appreciate education as a source of inner cultivation – one of the prerequisites of acting rightly.

The structure of amorphous Ge can be most satisfactorily described by a continuous random network model. The basic features of this random network for amorphous Ge are the total absence of translational symmetry combined with tetrahedrally coordinated atoms whose bond angles are as close to the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109° 28’ as possible. Non-crystallinity is achieved through variations in the tetrahedral angle and through relative rotations of adjoining tetrahedra. The local structure is thus well-defined. The medium range structure is, however, subject to debate as a number of physical properties, such as optical absorption and electrical conductivity, have been found to be highly sensitive to deposition conditions and heattreatment. The purpose of the present work was to use the phenomenon of explosive crystallization as a probe to investigate the medium range structure of amorphous Ge. Inhomogeneities in the medium range structure were expected to influence the morphology of the explosively crystallized foils.

The Ideal

The technique of labeling of macromolecules with ferritin conjugated antibody has been successfully used for extracellular antigen by means of staining the specimen with conjugate prior to fixation and embedding. However, the ideal method to determine the location of intracellular antigen would be to do the antigen-antibody reaction in thin sections. This technique contains inherent problems such as the destruction of antigenic determinants during fixation or embedding and the non-specific attachment of conjugate to the embedding media. Certain embedding media such as polyampholytes (2) or cross-linked bovine serum albumin (3) have been introduced to overcome some of these problems.

The Ideal

The reconstruction of a three-dimensional image of a specimen from a set of electron micrographs reduces, under certain assumptions about the imaging process in the microscope, to the mathematical problem of reconstructing a density distribution from a set of its plane projections.In the absence of noise we can formulate a purely geometrical criterion, which, for a general object, fixes the resolution attainable from a given finite number of views in terms of the size of the object. For simplicity we take the ideal case of projections collected by a series of m equally spaced tilts about a single axis.

Fifteen years ago, Hall described clearly the advantages of the thin section approach to biological x-ray microanalysis, and described clearly the ratio method for quantitive analysis in such preparations. In this now classic paper, he also made it clear that the ideal method of sample preparation would involve only freezing and sectioning at low temperature. Subsequently, Hall and his coworkers, as well as others, have applied themselves to the task of direct x-ray microanalysis of frozen sections. To achieve this goal, different methodological approachs have been developed as different groups sought solutions to a common group of technical problems. This report describes some of these problems and indicates the specific approaches and procedures developed by our group in order to overcome them. We acknowledge that the techniques evolved by our group are quite different from earlier approaches to cryomicrotomy and sample handling, hence the title of our paper. However, such departures from tradition have been based upon our attempt to apply basic physical principles to the processes involved. We feel we have demonstrated that such a break with tradition has valuable consequences.

Polytypism has been studied for a number of years and a wide variety of stacking sequences has been detected and analysed. SiC is the prototype material in this respect; see e.g. Electron microscopy under high resolution conditions when combined with x-ray measurements is a very powerful technique to elucidate the correct stacking sequence or to study polytype transformations and deviations from the ideal stacking sequence.

Two main problems in high resolution electron microscopy are first, the existence of gaps in the transfer function, and then the difficulty to find complex amplitude of the diffracted wawe from registered intensity. The solution of this second problem is in most cases only intended by the realization of several micrographs in different conditions (defocusing distance, illuminating angle, complementary objective apertures…) which can lead to severe problems of contamination or radiation damage for certain specimens.Fraunhofer holography can in principle solve both problems stated above (1,2). The microscope objective is strongly defocused (far-field region) so that the two diffracted beams do not interfere. The ideal transfer function after reconstruction is then unity and the twin image do not overlap on the reconstructed one.We show some applications of the method and results of preliminary tests.Possible application to the study of cavitiesSmall voids (or gas-filled bubbles) created by irradiation in crystalline materials can be observed near the Scherzer focus, but it is then difficult to extract other informations than the approximated size.

The Ideal

The high detection quantum efficiency (DQE) is the main requirement for an imagerecording system used in electron microscopy of radiation-sensitive specimens. An electronic TV system of the type shown in Fig. 1 fulfills these conditions and can be used for either analog or digital image storage and processing [1], Several sources of noise may reduce the DQE, and therefore a careful selection of various elements is imperative.The noise of target and of video amplifier can be neglected when the converter stages produce sufficient target electrons per incident primary electron. The required gain depends on the type of the tube and also on the type of the signal processing chosen. For EBS tubes, for example, it exceeds 10. The ideal case, in which all impinging electrons create uniform charge peaks at the target, is not obtainable for several reasons, and these will be discussed as they relate to a system with a scintillator, fiber-optic and photo-cathode combination as the first stage.
