The evolution of geophysical shape descriptors under distance-driven flows [PDF]
We investigate the evolution of axis ratios, roundness (isoperimetric ratio) and the number of static balance points under distance-driven flows. The latter have already been proposed by Aristotle as models of particle shape evolution and recent studies indicate that they may serve as models for frictional abrasion. We show exact conditions under which

The first part of my article presents Aristotle's teaching about the internal connection between the soul and the sensory powers, especially as regards the sense of ...

Gravitational potential energy group theoretically [PDF]
We show by symplectically realizing the one spatial Aristotle Lie group that the hamiltonian of the associated elementary system consist of a gravitational energy only. No kinetic term.

On the release of binding energy and accretion power in core collapse-like environments
All accretion models of gamma-ray bursts share a common assumption: accretion power and gravitational binding energy is released and then dissipated locally, with the mass of its origin.

Convexity in Greek antiquity [PDF]
We consider several appearances of the notion of convexity in Greek antiquity, more specifically in mathematics and optics, in the writings of Aristotle, and in art. The final version of this article will appear in the book `Geometry in History', ed. S. G. Dani and A. Papadopoulos, Springer Verlag, 2019.
