A basis of resolutive sets for the heat equation: an elementary construction
By an easy “trick” taken from the caloric polynomial theory, we prove the existence of a basis of the Euclidean topology whose elements are resolutive sets of the heat equation.

Brain More Resistant to Energy Restriction Than Body: A Systematic Review
The gluco-lipostatic theory and its modern variants assume that blood glucose and energy stores are controlled in closed-loop feedback processes. The Selfish Brain theory is based on the same assumptions, but additionally postulates that the brain, as an

Proximal Disruption of Brain Energy Supply Raises Systemic Blood Glucose: A Systematic Review
This work joins a series that methodically tests the predictions of the Selfish-Brain theory. The theory postulates a vital ability of the mammalian brain, namely to give priority to its own energy metabolism.

Weighing the importance of animal body size in traditional food systems
Traditional food systems based on harvest from the local environment are fundamental to the well-being of many communities, but their security is challenged by rapid socio-ecological change. We synthesized literature and data describing how a fundamental

Action and Entropy in Heat Engines: An Action Revision of the Carnot Cycle
Despite the remarkable success of Carnot’s heat engine cycle in founding the discipline of thermodynamics two centuries ago, false viewpoints of his use of the caloric theory in the cycle linger, limiting his legacy.

The Frictional effects in serial harmonic circuit
In the paper we make the friction effect in the serial sonic system were the sonic flow are influence by the friction. This effect makes the growing of the temperature in the sonic resistance, same the caloric effect of the alternative current.

Liquid-gas phase transition in nuclei in the relativistic Thomas-Fermi theory [PDF]
The equation of state (EOS) of finite nuclei is constructed in the relativistic Thomas-Fermi theory using the non-linear $\sigma-\omega -\rho$ model. The caloric curves are calculated by confining the nuclei in the freeze-out volume taken to be a sphere ...

Localism vs. Individualism for the Scientific Realism Debate [PDF]
Localism is the view that the unit of evaluation in the scientific realism debate is a single scientific discipline, sub-discipline, or claim, whereas individualism is the view that the unit of evaluation is a single scientific theory.

Critiques of Axiological Realism and Surrealism [PDF]
Lyons’s (2003, 2018) axiological realism holds that science pursues true theories. I object that despite its name, it is a variant of scientific antirealism, and is susceptible to all the problems with scientific antirealism.
