Melville’s Curves: Mathematics and the Melvillean Imagination. Measuring a Cycloid in Moby-Dick by Federico Bellini

“…Moreover, Melville must have also been aware of the pivotal role the cycloid played in the history of early modern thought: the investigation into its properties was at the basis of the invention of calculus, which in turn was at the center of the philosophy of post-Cartesian thinkers such as Leibniz and Spinoza. Building on this, in the second part of my essay I intend to show how Ishmael’s mention of the cycloid can be seen as a reference to a philosophical worldview according to which nature appears as a continuum of indefinitely foldable matter, a view in which Melville conflates such diverse thinkers as Spinoza, Plato, Goethe or the Transcendentalists and which he presents as both fascinating and problematic. …”

Ideological, Political, and Philosophical Foundations of Science and Industrial Policy of the German Green Party in the 1980 and 1990: the Case of “Soft Chemistry” (Sanfte Chemie)... by Marcin Krasnodębski

“…Soft chemistry followers wanted to forge a new scientific method and criticized what they called a Baconian-Cartesian paradigm in the philosophy of science. Even though the sanfte Chemie project ceased to be endorsed by the Green Party in the 1990s because of its radicalism, the history of epistemological foundations, on which the soft chemistry was built, gives us a privileged insight into a vision of chemical sciences as advocated by early proponents of sustainability and pioneers of environmental movements. …”

Improved Approach to Iris Normalization for iris Recognition System by Abdulamir Abdullah karim, Sarah jasim Mohammed

“…The proposed iris normalization is done by using the important information that resulted from circle hough transformation such as center and radius of iris and center and radius of pupil to convert iris region in original image from the Cartesian coordinates (x,y) to the normalized polar coordinates (r,θ).The proposed approach tested conducted on the iris data set (CASIA v4.0- interval), and tested on (CASIA v1.0- interval) iris image database and the results indicated that proposed approach has 99.8% accuracy rate with (CASIA v4.0- interval),and has 100% accuracy rate with (CASIA v1.0- interval) .…”

The Microscale Urban Surface Energy (MUSE) Model for Real Urban Application by Doo-Il Lee, Sang-Hyun Lee

“…This study presents a new microscale urban surface energy (MUSE) model for real urban meteorological and environmental applications that is capable of representing the urban radiative, convective, and conductive energy transfer processes along with their interactions, and that is directly compatible with the Cartesian grid microscale atmospheric models. The physical processes of shadow casting and radiative transfers were validated on an analytical accuracy level. …”

Curriculum development in Ethiopia vis-à-vis Patrick Slattery’s postmodern curriculum principles: A reflection by Tadesse Melesse Meraw, Esuyawkal Tessema Ageze

“…The findings unveil that behavioristic, linear and objective-oriented, ideological or hegemonic, competitive, and patriarchal features shadowed curriculum development in Ethiopia. The Cartesian dualism of Western and Tylerian rationale metanarrative; bifurcation of students in ability groups and learning outcomes; the abandonment of different voices (mainly educated professionals) in curriculum development; the rejection of important values, religious and cultural thoughts in the pretext of secular education; and the detachment of indigenous and value education from Ethiopian schooling stipulate postmodern perspective in developing curriculum. …”
