Overview: A comprehensive history of physical theories of comets from 300 BC to the appearance of modern theory of comets in the1950s.Discusses the details of major theories of comets based on primary sources.IAlthough the development of ideas about the motion and trajectory of comets has been investigated piecemeal, we lack a comprehensive and detailed survey of ph- ical theories of comets. The available works either illustrate relatively short periods in the history of physical cometology or portray a landscape view without adequate details. The present study is an attempt to review – with m

Overview: Offers an original and fruitful interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophical psychology.Clarifies what drives are.Suggests a new way of thinking about Nietzsche’s genealogical methods.Nietzsche’s “drive theory”, as it is referred to in the secondary literature, is a rich, unique and fascinating articulation of the human condition. In broad brushstrokes, Nietzsche appears to contend that all human psychology is either directly reducible to animal drives (e.g. sex, aggression) or indirectly explicable to the historical transformations thereof (e.g. ressentiment). Moreover, Nietzsche’s i

Overview: This short work is the first draft of a book manuscript by Aaron Swartz written for the series "Synthesis Lectures on the Semantic Web" at the invitation of its editor, James Hendler. Unfortunately, the book wasn‘t completed before Aaron‘s death in January 2013. As a tribute, the editor and publisher are publishing the work digitally without cost.From the author‘s introduction:" . . . we will begin by trying to understand the architecture of the Web -- what it got right and, occasionally, what it got wrong, but most importantly why it is the way it is. We will learn how it allows bot

Overview: Die Aufstiegskarriere: Entfaltung, Mechanismen, WandelDie männliche Aufstiegskarriere prägt bis heute unsere Vorstellungen von sozialem Erfolg. Allerdings: Mit der Umorganisierung des marktwirtschaftlichen Systems in den 1980er und 90er Jahren geriet dieses Biographiemuster zunehmend unter Druck. Mit einer Kombination von qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden geht der Autor am Beispiel der Schweiz der Frage nach, wie sich Aufstiegskarrieren gewandelt haben. Er zeigt, wieso die „neue Karriere“ dem Karrieremodell von Finanzspezialisten nachempfunden ist, wie die Aufsteiger ihre Laufb

Overview: .Research on multi-agent systems has provided a promising technology for implementing cognitive intelligent non-playing characters. However, the technologies used in game engines and multi-agent platforms are not readily compatible due to some inherent differences in concerns. Where game engines focus on real-time aspects and thus propagate efficiency and central control, multi-agent platforms assume autonomy of the agents. Increased autonomy and intelligence may offer benefits for a more compelling gameplay and may even be necessary for serious games. However, problems occur when cu
