<p>In his study Nirvana and Other Buddhist Felicities; Utopias of the Pali Imaginaire, Steven Collins aptly argues that as society transitioned from the nomadic to the agrarian, imaginaires were constructed to provide ideological buttresses for the new political order. Such an imaginaire revolved around a set of felicities, that is to say, supplementary imaginary worlds, that promised post-mortem rewards which compensated for worldly injustice. Collins takes as his paradigmatic case study the Pali Buddhist world, and in this case, the imaginaire constituted centres on nirvana. As working parts of this imaginaire, the various felicities provided an incentive for adhering to socially acceptable behavior, and thus helped maintain stability by compensating those who suffered the costs of the agrarian social arrangement.   Collins argues that similar systems of felicities could be found in other agrarian states. In a previous paper, I applied Collins's theory to Latinate Christianity, with surprising results. Collins’s theory was correct, in that Latinate Christianity did share a similar felicity structure; however, Latinate Christianity was also greatly preoccupied by Hell, and often contrasted felicities with infelicities. In Collins's schema, by contrast, there is little room for infelicities.   In this thesis, I intend to re-examine Collins’s argument for the Buddhist case, expanding his vision of the Buddhist imaginaire to include a set of infelicities and the structures they constitute. Thus, this study will compare infelicities from both the Buddhist imaginaire and the Latinate Christian imaginaire. A comparative study presents the potential to create a hypothetical structure of infelicities, that may be applicable to infelicities presented in religions outside of Buddhism.</p>

The present paper represents a hypothetical structure, the structure for energy transformation (SET), which might be responsible for the proper energy transformation steps leading to the continuous production of H+ and ATP in living cells. We predict that the electron flow is realized through the electron flow device (EFD). We suppose that there are several versions of the SET. Two of them are described below [Structure of Aerobic Glycolysis (SET-AG) and Structure of Oxidative Phosphorylation (SET-OP). The hypothesis is based on the atom properties of the protonated adenine molecule and the docking computations of molecular mechanics involved, suggesting that two ascorbate molecules may occupy the empty NADPH pocket, preferably binding to the adenine binding site. We hypothesize that the adenine originates from uric acid (UA), resulting in an ATP-UA-ADP-ATP-UA cycle. It would also mean that UA is one of the oxygen sources in aerobic glycolysis. We also suppose that the EFD contains the well-known molecules of the Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) and Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD) supplemented with two additional UA-originated adenine molecules, two L-ascorbic acids, and two D-glucose molecules. Based on all this, we surmise that a tetra adenine octo phosphate ring (TAR) exists, in which the UA originated adenine molecules form a ring. The molecules are linked to each other through the N7-C2 and C8-N1 atoms of the adenine molecules by H2PO4e- molecules. The four N10 atoms of the adenine molecules bind one flavin, one nicotinamide, and two L-ascorbic acid molecules. Six D-glucose molecules complete one Unit of the structure. Both Fe-S and cytochrome clusters, as well as dehydrogenases, ensure the continuous operation of the Unit. The synchronized function of the three-stoke, three twin-cylinder engine results in continuous energy, ATP, and H+ production. Eukaryotic cells are equipped with the SET-AG and the SET-OP; thus, they can live in an anoxic and oxygenized environment. It is hoped that the SET concept developed here will help the better understanding the way of cancer treatment’s action regarding glucose deprivation or Vitamin C.

<p class="VARKeywords">The accurate graphic survey of an archaeological site is fundamental for its analysis and research. Furthermore, if this site is to be covered by a building and will not be accessible or visible, its documentation is essential, not only to continue with the research, but also to disseminate and enhance the discoveries. An example of this is the "<em>Hoya de los Molinos</em>" archaeological site in Caravaca de la Cruz (Region of Murcia, Spain). This is where the first mark of the wheel of a Roman vertical watermill in the Iberian Peninsula has been found. This fact is crucial because remains of Roman vertical-wheeled watermills have been found across the Mediterranean but not in the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, the fact that this watermill still has all its structural elements makes this archaeological site in Caravaca de la Cruz very interesting. Due to these facts, it is essential to disseminate this discovery, so that it can be recognized and considered as archaeological and cultural heritage. To that end, the researchers have carried out a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the most characteristic elements, such as the vertical wheel, the gears that allowed grinding the grain, and the building protecting them. A virtual recreation was carried out, based on the historical and building research, which is displayed in an explanatory video. Furthermore, two reproductions were created: one made to scale of the archaeological site with a 3D printer and another one of the hypothetical structure of the Roman watermill. To achieve this result, historians, archaeologists and engineers have collaborated, thus enabling not only its adequate dissemination, but also its accurate documentation, in an inclusive manner. Thanks to all the work that this paper describes, the Roman watermill found in Caravaca de la Cruz can be known, studied and assessed.</p><p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p><ul><li><p>The first Roman watermill in the Iberian Peninsula has been found with all its structural elements, from the imprints left in the stone by the wheel.</p></li><li><p>Virtual reconstruction of the first vertical wheel watermill discovered in Hispania has been made.</p></li><li><p>An animated video of the hydraulic watermill gears performance has been created for documentation and dissemination.</p></li></ul>

In recent years major advances in surface chemistry and surface functionalization have been performed through the development, most often inspired by living organisms, of versatile methodologies. Among those, the contact of substrates with aminomalononitrile (AMN) containing solutions at pH = 8.5 allows a conformal coating to be deposited on the surface of all known classes of material. Since AMN is a molecule probably formed in the early atmosphere of our planet and since HCN-based compounds have been detected on many comets and Titan (Saturn’s largest moon) it is likely that such molecules will open a large avenue in surface functionalization mostly for bio-applications. This mini review describes the state of the art of AMN-based coatings from their deposition kinetics, composition, chemical reactivity, hypothetical structure to their first applications as biomaterials. Finally, the AMN-based versatile coatings are compared to other kinds of versatile coating based on catecholamines and polyphenols.

AbstractThe present paper represents a hypothetical structure, the structure for energy transformation (SET), and its proposed evolution, which might be responsible for the proper energy transformation steps leading to the continuous production of H+ and ATP in living cells. We predict that the electron flow is realized through the electron flow device (EFD). We suppose that there are several versions of the SET with three of them being described below. The hypothesis is based on the properties of the atoms of the protonated adenine molecule and docking computations of molecular mechanics involved, suggesting that two ascorbate molecules may occupy the empty NADPH pocket, preferably binding to the adenine binding site. We hypothesize that the adenine originates from uric acid (UA), resulting in an ATP-UA-ADP-ATP cycle. It would also mean that UA is one of the oxygen carriers in aerobic glycolysis. We also suppose that the EFD contains the well-known molecules and clusters of the electron transport chain supplemented with two additional UA originated adenine molecules and two L-ascorbic acid molecules. Based on all this, we surmise that a tetra adenine octo phosphate ring (TAR) exists, in which the UA originated adenine molecules form a ring. The molecules are linked to each other through the N7-C2 and C8-N1 atoms of the adenine molecules by H2PO4e- molecules. The four N10 atoms of the adenine molecules bind one flavin, one nicotinamide, and two L-ascorbic acid molecules. Six D-glucose molecules complete one unit of the structure. Both Fe-S and cytochrome clusters and dehydrogenases ensure the continuous operation of the unit. Eukaryotic cells are equipped with the mechanisms of the SET, using aerobic glycolysis of Warburg and the SET of oxidative phosphorylation; thus, they can live in an anoxic environment as well. It is hoped that the concept of the SET developed here will help to better understand the complex process of energy transformation.

Upon start of the century, a developing assemblage of research has foundationally inspected the factors incident for the happiness in the work environment. When all is said in done, the relative group of research conducted in the area has contributed some effective contributions to advocate for factors for happiness at the work environment, which in turn has created a helpful effect for projects and the people. However some proof is blended. To help further studies in the area, the study address these points in two dimensions of happiness. The critical point is to audit the available past research on happiness in the existing work place environment and to differentiate the critical points to give guidance for further studies. The subsequent studies is to provide a hypothetical structure which clarifies the manner people will decipher happiness in the work environment. Later to address how it might be generally advantageous. Drawing on the thought that enjoyment in the working environment is subjective depending on each person’s preferences, our proposed system gives a more nuanced comprehension of the worldly procedures and logical variables that clarify how people evaluate and eventually advantage from happiness.


In late years, critical learning methodologies especially Convolutional Neural Networks have been utilized in different solicitations. CNN's have appeared to be a key capacity to ordinarily expel broad volumes of data from massive information. The uses of CNNs have inside and out ended up being useful especially in orchestrating ordinary pictures. Regardless, there have been essential obstacles in executing the CNNs in a restorative zone as a result of the nonattendance of genuine getting ready data. Consequently, general imaging benchmarks, for instance, Image Net have been conspicuously used in the restorative not too zone notwithstanding the way that they are perfect when appeared differently about the CNNs. In this paper, a comparative examination of LeNet, AlexNet, and GoogLeNet has been done. Starting there, the paper has proposed an improved hypothetical structure for requesting helpful life structures pictures using CNNs. In perspective on the proposed structure of the framework, the CNNs building are required to beat the previous three plans in requesting remedial pictures.

Each society’s language differs from other societies’ languages; because of the distinctions over the dialects, implications and ideas fluctuate crosswise over two unique dialects. The clearest purposes of distinction between dialects show up in their writing, which contains a lot of culture-specific items (CSIs); this causes some degree of complexities while exchanging implications and ideas from a languege into another. The present study was an attempt to discover proposed interpretation techniques connected in the two translations of Waiting for Godot by Aliakbar Alizad (1385, 2006) and Asgar Rastgar (1393, 2014). There are great differences in the translation. The practice of translators in rendering cultural items of the original reflects their different attitude in the choice of translation strategies The hypothetical structure of this examination depended on the cultural items classification and strategies proposed by Newmark (1988) as well as Houses’s (1997) model of translation quality assessment. After extracting cultural items of the original text and their classification, each item was compared and contrasted whit its corresponding rendering in the two translations. The strategies used by translators were then determined. The findings showed that Alizad’s work is an overt translation, while Rastgar’s work is a covert one. Rastgar’s strategies led into great differences with the original. His overuse of informal words and expressions as well as cultural items has domesticated his translation.
