Rule of Law in Europe

The conditions under which these notes were prepared reflect the little time that could be devoted to their preparation. Circumstances inherent to my position drastically limited my availability to do better. This explains the erratic tone of my considerations, which I have not had time to organise and systematise properly. Added to this, of course, is the fact that I am not a professional …

Rock Fracture Mechanics and Fracture Criteria

For rock engineering projects, the cutting and fragmenting of rocks has attracted much attention. Exploring the fracture characteristics of rocks is helpful in achieving efficient and sustainable excavation for mining and tunneling engineering. The fracture toughness of rocks is a crucial mechanical indicator that weighs the initiation and extension of cracks during the breaking process.…

The Rhinoceros of South Asia

The rhinoceros is an iconic animal. Three species once inhabited South Asia, two of which disappeared over a century ago. This survey aims to reconstruct the historical distribution of these large mammals resulting in new maps showing the extent of their occurrences.

It is therefore clear that when the Impact of the Roman Empire is analysed, the impact of the emperor and those surrounding him is a central issue. The study of the representation and perception of Roman imperial power is a multifaceted area of research, which…

Researching with Proximity

We are being told: ‘It is perhaps not wise to go to trekking during ‘räkkä’ time, the mass occurrence of insects—mosquitoes, blackflies, and midges— during the northern summer.’ As experienced trekkers, we already know this, but we have no option: this is the only weekend possible for us to go for a hike, and we are eager. I only wish for a miracle, to avoid having very …

The Renewal of Medieval Metaphysics = Berthold of Moosburg’s Expositio on P…

This is the first volume exclusively devoted to the Expositio by Berthold of Moosburg (c.1295-c.1361) on Proclus’ Elements of Theology. The breadth of its vision surpasses every other known commentary on the Elements of Theology, for it seeks to present a coherent account of the Platonic tradition as such (unified through the concord of Proclus and Dionysius) and at the same time to consolida…

Freshwater Inflows to Texas Bays and Estuaries: A Regional-Scale Review, Synt…

Estuaries are defined by mixing of river and sea water, thus freshwater inflow is a key driver of estuary ecosystem structure and function. While there is much concern about water quality, there is much less about water quantity. As water is diverted for human use, less is flowing to the coast, which threatens estuary ecosystems. Some jurisdictions are now setting inflow standards, but there…
