Who breathes and smells according to Empedocles? On the πάντα of fr. 96. 1 Gallavotti

Revista Archai, 2018
Aristotele (Resp. 473a-474a), Teofrasto (Sens. 9 e 20-22) e Demetrio Lacone (PHerc. 1012, col. 65) hanno conservato l’ampio resoconto in versi del meccanismo della respirazione e dell’olfatto di Empedocle. Tale spiegazione non dichiara però esplicitamente quanti viventi possiedono una simile facoltà .

Spatial Homeotropic and Planar Liquid Crystal Alignment Patterning

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A voltage‐assisted two‐step photoalignment methodology achieves precise micro‐patterning of alternating planar and homeotropic liquid crystal domains. Applying an AC electric field during in situ laser illumination minimizes phase retardation, reducing the required exposure dose. This cooperative mechanism enables high‐resolution spatial patterning and

On ἐλευθερία, τὸ ζῆν ὡς βούλεταί τις, and Virtue in the Aristotelian Theory of Demokratia

Revista Archai
In this paper, I aim to reject the thesis that ancient democracy, according to Aristotle, is defined by majority rule for its own benefit. I advocate for an alternative thesis, (which easily incorporates what is true in the rejected view), namely, that it is the concept of eleutheria, particularly as understood in Politics VI.2 and VI.9, that holds ...

Measurement of the differential γ+2b -jet cross section and the ratio σ(γ+2b-jets)/σ(γ+b-jet) in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV

Physics Letters B, 2014
We present the first measurements of the differential cross section dσ/dpTγ for the production of an isolated photon in association with at least two b -quark jets. The measurements consider photons with rapidities |yγ|<1.0 and transverse momenta 30<pTγ<200 GeV .

Control of Bacterial Attachment on Macroporous PDMS/Paraffin SLIPS With Varying Lubricant Viscosity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) prepared from macroporous PDMS, infused with medical‐grade paraffins, were systematically investigated regarding the correlation of viscosity, surface corrugation, bulk porosity, and bacterial resistance. Substrate porosity was found to dominate lubricant stabilization and the antifouling activity.

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

Programming Actuation in 3D‐Printed Micro‐Architectures via Interfacial Adhesion Control

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐phase meniscus‐guided 3D printing method directly fabricates microscale poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) bilayers with in situ programmable interfaces. Modulating the meniscus stretching speed switches the interface between separated and bonded states, which controls the mechanical ...

The Concept of Law in the Ancient Greek Political Thought: From θεÏμÏÏ to νÏμοÏ

Metaphysics, 2014
Law is one of the key concepts in ancient Greek political thought. Two different legal-political terms were used for the concept of law in ancient Athens -although not simultaneously. Before putting an end to the tyranny of the Pisistratidae at the end of the sixth century, θεÏμÏÏ was used in the sense of state law whilst after the Cleisthenes ...
