Diurnal Temperature Variability at Latitudinally Distinct Sites on the Moon
Abstract The thermophysical environment of the Moon plays a crucial role for future exploration, resource utilization and also in understanding its geological evolution. While global‐scale surface temperature distributions have been reasonably well constrained through numerical modeling and orbiter observations, recent in situ measurements have ...

Abstract The morphology of fresh lunar craters provides important clues about how craters of different sizes form, and is used as a baseline for understanding how craters evolve over time. Topographic spectral analysis is a powerful tool for studying the morphology of lunar craters, as it can quantify the scale‐dependent topographic variation of ...

Kenelm Digby's logic of common and natural notions
Abstract In this article, I take a fresh look at the logic of common and natural notions contained in the Two Treatises published in 1644 by Kenelm Digby (1603–1665). Digby's doctrine of common notions was an attempt to retrofit Aristotelianism in order to bring it out of the shadows of scholasticism and into the age of the new experimental and ...

Abstract Lunar impact craters can be used as a tool to derive information about the timing and sequence of the emplacement of geologic units and surface processes on the Moon. The production function (PF) derived from crater size‐frequency distribution (CSFD) measurements is an essential component in determining the model age of a geologic surface. The

“Following Our Own Path”: Pavel Katenin’s Political Theater
Abstract The present article focuses on the tension arising from Pavel Katenin’s aesthetic and literary vision for the reception of Antiquity in Russian mythological drama: his avid support of Classical purism and his denunciation of dramatists, for whom ancient myths served merely as a resource of historical parallels, is challenging to reconcile with

Beyond the Polemics: Freedom and Necessity in Plotinus and St Maximus Confessor
Abstract Abstract: The aim of this paper is to challenge the prevailing polemic between ‘necessary’ emanation and ‘free’ creation. I begin by arguing for the presence of freedom and volition in the emanationism of Plotinus. I then move on to explore the role of necessity in the creationism of Maximus. In both cases, I rely upon a twofold schematisation
