Probing transverse momentum dependent structures with azimuthal dependence of energy correlators by Kang, Zhong-Bo, Lee, Kyle, Shao, Ding Yu, Zhao, Fanyi

“…We study the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators $$\langle \mathcal{E}\left({\widehat{n}}_{1}\right)\mathcal{E}\left({\widehat{n}}_{2}\right)\rangle $$ in the back-to-back region for e+e− annihilation and deep inelastic scattering (DIS) processes with general polarization of the proton beam. We demonstrate that the polarization information of the beam and the underlying partons from the hard scattering is propagated into the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators. …”

Mencius and Hutcheson on empathy-based benevolence by Chuang, Christina

“…In the standard interpretation of their texts, benevolence is the most fundamental moral virtue and benevolence is rooted in feelings rather than reason. Hutcheson’s philosophy constructs benevolence as the ultimate principle of morality; an action can be called morally good only if it was motivated by benevolence. …”

A methodology for multiple domain feature mapping by Lim, Seng San

“…Feature technology provides a high level representation that is capable of capturing more engineering information than conventional solid modeling techniques, such as boundary representation (Brep) and constructive solid geometry (CSG), which are commonly available in many computer-aided design (CAD) systems. The information tends to be domain specific and application dependent. …”

Ritual in the Xunzi : a change of the heart/mind by Sung, Winnie

“…The reason ritual works is that, on the one hand, it requires one to disregard concern for self-interest and observe ethical standards and, on the other, it allows one to express feelings in an ethically appropriate way. The ideal character shaped by ritual is one of respect in dealing with affairs and people; the ideal effect of ritual on the person is a sense of ease and security. …”
