The Handbook of Temporal Dominance on Sensations

The Handbook of Temporal Dominance on Sensations

Pascal Schlich; Mara Virginia Galmarini

Woodhead Publishing
2023
nidottu
The Handbook of Temporal Dominance of Sensations explores the use of Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) as a tool to understand the dynamic perception of food products as a whole. The method is based on the choice of a series of attributes all along consumption, having the premise that the selected attribute is the one that dominates perception at that given moment. This allows scientists to identify sequences of sensations which describe the products. The Handbook of Temporal Dominance of Sensations explains how to prepare a TDS experiment, provides details on the several available methods for data analysis, presents new versions for the method such as Dual-TDS, Hold-on, and On/Off TDS. Protocols including the measurement of other variables, such as liking, satiation, or the change in the perceived emotions, are also covered. The book suggests adaptations to multiple-intakes to assess consumption of a full food portion and outlines special protocols designed to better understand food pairing. Sensory and consumer scientists and engineers working in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, statisticians and sensometricians producing or using sensory data, students and academics in the field of sensory science are sure to find this a welcome addition to their libraries.

French Revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire

French Revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire

Pascal Firges

Oxford University Press
2017
sidottu
The effects of the French Revolution reached far beyond the confines of France itself. The Ottoman Empire, ancient ally and major trading partner of France, was not immune from the repercussions of the 'Age of Revolutions', especially since it was home to permanent French communities with a certain legal autonomy. French Revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire examines, for the first time, the political and cultural impact of the French Revolution on Franco-Ottoman relations, as well as on the French communities of the Ottoman Empire. The modern interpretation of revolutionary ideological expansionism is strongly influenced by the famous propaganda decree of 19 November 1792 which promised 'fraternity and help to all peoples who wish to recover their liberty', as well as the well-studied efforts to export the Revolution into the territories conquered by the revolutionary armies and to the various Sister Republics. Against all expectations, however, French revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire exhibited neither a 'crusading mentality' nor a heightened readiness to use force in order to achieve ideological goals. Instead, as this volume shows, in matters of diplomacy as well as in the administration of French expatriate communities, revolutionary policies were applied in an extremely circumspect fashion. The focus on the effects of the French regime change outside of France offers valuable new insights into the revolutionary process itself, which will revise common assumptions about French revolutionary diplomacy. In addition, Pascal Firges takes a close look at the establishment of the new political culture of the French Revolution within the transcultural context of the French expatriate communities of the Ottoman Empire, which serves as a thought-provoking point of comparison for the emergence and development of French revolutionary political culture.

Set-Off in Arbitration and Commercial Transactions

Set-Off in Arbitration and Commercial Transactions

Pascal Pichonnaz; Louise Gullifer

Oxford University Press
2014
sidottu
This book considers the issues involved in international commercial disputes where set-off has been used. Most such disputes are conducted through arbitration so the focus of this book is on the effect of arbitration proceedings on set-off claims. The book considers the important institutional rules of arbitration procedure such as the Swiss Rules, the CNUDCI, the ICC rules and others. It covers in some detail the various possible solutions to the issue of applicable law under national and supra-national law. Included in this discussion is an analysis of the Rome I Regulation, the CISG, and the UNIDROIT Principles contained in the PICC and PECL. There is full consideration of the other relevant matters including enforceability, currency issues, and burden of proof. The last section of the book analyses the position of set off in insolvency, including a general comparative look at the situation in common and civil law, and concluding with an explanation of the effect of the European Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings. Set-off is a commonly used but complex device used to avoid the cumbersome transfer of money in international commercial transactions. The situation is made even more complex when disputes arise bringing issues of applicable law and jurisdiction. This book raises the potential issues and analyses the probable solutions with reference to national and international laws and arbitral rules. It will assist common law practitioners with practical solutions under major civil law jurisdictions and vice versa.

A Natural History of Time

A Natural History of Time

Pascal Richet

University of Chicago Press
2007
sidottu
For most of history, people trusted mythology or religion to provide an answer to the pressing question of the earth's age, even though nature abounds with clues. In "A Natural History of Time", geophysicist Pascal Richet tells the fascinating story of how scientists and philosophers examined those clues and from them built a chronological scale that has made it possible to reconstruct the history of nature itself. The quest for time is a story of ingenuity and determination, and like a geologist, Pascal Richet carefully peels back the strata of that history, giving us a chance to marvel at each layer and truly appreciate how far our knowledge - and our planet - have come.

Trois mots: Libert , galit , Fraternit , forment la devise de la R publique. Elle fut adopt e dans le grand lan r volutionnaire de juin 1793, reni e en 1814, reprise sous la Deuxi me R publique de 1848 1851. Elle redevint devise officielle sous la Troisi me R publique en 1875 et le resta jusqu' nos jours, sauf la triste interruption de 1940 1944. Libert , galit , Fraternit , tous les jours vous apercevez ces mots aux frontons des monuments publics. Mais les voyez-vous r alis s dans votre vie de chaque jour? Inscrite au dessus de nos t tes, la devise R publicaine ne demeure-t-elle pas comme un id al plus ou moins inaccessible? Que faisons-nous pour la faire descendre et p n trer dans la r alit vivante de la nation? Certains vont m me jusqu' penser qu'elle est inopportune, contraire aux r alit s pr sentes et jusqu' dire que le mot galit d vore, efface les deux autres.

""Pascal O Loughlin s poems are wry, astute, companionable, heartbroken, elegant, and tasty and he does not leave out the fucking men with their fucking fucking. He may be showing us life inside the commodity (with its lists), inside the songs, the films, the formal gambits and institutions, exempli gratia the Institute Philip K. Dick, but somehow, also, we carry on toward the fictional horizon, accepting fragility and the inevitable harm. Tenderness will suffice."" - Robert GlYck

Minds Make Societies

Minds Make Societies

Pascal Boyer

Yale University Press
2020
pokkari
A watershed book that masterfully integrates insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and more to explore the development and workings of human societies “There is no good reason why human societies should not be described and explained with the same precision and success as the rest of nature.” Thus argues evolutionary psychologist Pascal Boyer in this uniquely innovative book. Integrating recent insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and other fields, Boyer offers precise models of why humans engage in social behaviors such as forming families, tribes, and nations, or creating gender roles. In fascinating, thought-provoking passages, he explores questions such as, Why is there conflict between groups? Why do people believe low-value information such as rumors? Why are there religions? What is social justice? What explains morality? Boyer provides a new picture of cultural transmission that draws on the pragmatics of human communication, the constructive nature of memory in human brains, and human motivation for group formation and cooperation.

The Physical Basis of Thermodynamics

The Physical Basis of Thermodynamics

Pascal Richet

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
2001
sidottu
Given that thermodynamics books are not a rarity on the market, why would an additional one be useful? The answer is simple: at any level, thermodynamics is usually taught as a somewhat abstruse discipline where many students get lost in a maze of difficult concepts. However, thermodynamics is not as intricate a subject as most people feel. This book fills a niche between elementary textbooks and mathematically oriented treatises, and provides readers with a distinct approach to the subject. As indicated by the title, this book explains thermodynamic phenomena and concepts in physical terms before proceeding to focus on the requisite mathematical aspects. It focuses on the effects of pressure, temperature and chemical composition on thermodynamic properties and places emphasis on rapidly evolving fields such as amorphous materials, metastable phases, numerical simulations of microsystems and high-pressure thermodynamics. Topics like redox reactions are dealt with in less depth, due to the fact that there is already much literature available. Without requiring a background in quantum mechanics, this book also illustrates the main practical applications of statistical thermodynamics and gives a microscopic interpretation of temperature, pressure and entropy. This book is perfect for undergraduate and graduate students who already have a basic knowledge of thermodynamics and who wish to truly understand the subject and put it in a broader physical perspective. The book is aimed not at theoretical physicists, but rather at practitioners with a variety of backgrounds from physics to biochemistry for whom thermodynamics is a tool which would be better used if better understood.

The primary aim of the book is to provide a critical evaluation of the origin and development of the Cambridge saving-investment analysis. This work disentangles painstakingly from a maze of sometimes contradictory, obscure and often neglected contributions, the line which leads from Marshall's interest theory to Keynes's income adjustment process. In particular, it charts, for the first time, the various steps taken by this line of inquiry in the writings of Pigou, Hawtrey, Robertson, Lavington and Keynes.

Law and Philosophy of Language

Law and Philosophy of Language

Pascal Richard

Routledge
2021
sidottu
Academic legal production, when it focuses on the study of law, generally grasps this concept on the basis of a reference to positive law and its practice. This book differs clearly from these analyses and integrates the legal approach into the philosophy of normative language, philosophical realism and pragmatism. The aim is not only to place the examination of law in the immanence of its practice, but also to take note of the fact that legal enunciation must be taken seriously. In order to arrive at this analysis, it is necessary to go beyond traditional perspectives and to base reflection on an investigation of the conditions for enunciating law in our democracies. This analysis thus offers a renewal of the ethics inherent in the action of jurists and an original reflection on the role of certain legal tools such as concepts, categories, or "provisions". In this sense, the work nourishes its originality not only by the transversality of its approach, but also by the will to situate legal thought in concrete forms of its implementation. The book will be essential reading for academics working in the areas of legal theory, legal philosophy and constitutional theory.
