ABSTRACT ‘Recalcitrant emotions’ are those emotions that contradict one's explicit beliefs, such as fearing flying while claiming not to believe that it is dangerous. Emotional recalcitrance has often been used to challenge cognitivism, because of its comparison between recalcitrant emotions and contradictory beliefs.

Nietzsche and Schiller on Aesthetic Distance
Abstract A key contention of Nietzsche's philosophy is that art helps us affirm life. A common reading holds that it does so by paving over, concealing, or beautifying life's undesirable features. This interpretation is unsatisfactory for two main reasons: Nietzsche suggests that art should foreground what is ‘ugly’ about existence, and he sees ...

Random walks on the Apollonian network with a single trap
Explicit determination of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for trapping problem on complex media is a theoretical challenge. In this paper, we study random walks on the Apollonian network with a trap fixed at a given hub node (i.e.

We consider growing spheres seeded by random injection in time and space. Growth stops when two spheres meet leading eventually to a jammed state. We study the statistics of growth limited by packing theoretically in d dimensions and via simulation in d ...

We introduce a new family of networks, the Apollonian networks, that are simultaneously scale-free, small world, Euclidean, space-filling and matching graphs. These networks have a wide range of applications ranging from the description of force chains in polydisperse granular packings and geometry of fully fragmented porous media, to hierarchical road

High-dimensional random Apollonian networks [PDF]
We propose a simple algorithm which produces a new category of networks, high dimensional random Apollonian networks, with small-world and scale-free characteristics. We derive analytical expressions for their degree distributions and clustering coefficients which are determined by the dimension of the network.

This research contributes to the advancement of compact and efficient antenna designs for wireless communication systems. Detailed considerations are given to the 2.4 and 5.2 GHz bands to ensure compatibility with standard Wi‐Fi protocols. The designed circular fractal antenna is compared with the conventional circular patch antenna and the results ...

Deep Truth and the Mythic Veil: Werner Herzog's New Mythology in Land of Silence and Darkness
This article begins with Werner Herzog's programmatic statements on new images and deep truth and connects it to ideas of Nietzschean aesthetics, mainly the Apollonian image and the Dionysian horror.

The Power of Patriarchy: Everett’s Work on the Dionysus Myth in Frenzy
This interpretation of Percival Everett's novel Frenzy focuses on the author's rewriting of the myth of Dionysus and other Greek myths referenced in the text, as it is through the revisions of classical versions of the myths that Everett expresses his ...
