An Outline of Occult Science is Rudolf Steiner's thesis discussing the unknown, the nature of mankind, and his belief that science may be used to explain the unusual phenomena known as the occult. First published in 1910, this book strives to define, categorize and explain various manifestations of the occult. The author concedes at the opening of the book that many otherwise open-minded and receptive individuals immediately recoil from the concept of the the unknown, especially in relation to attempts to investigate it scientifically. After introducing the occult, Steiner delves into explaining the two worlds he thought comprised the reality we live in. The natural world, that which is visible and readily perceivable around us, and the spiritual world, where the unexplained phenomena arise. The nature of man as a bodily being, and how his physical self bridges the gap between these two worlds, is much detailed.

The design and optimization of complex chemical processes is a key challenge in chemical engineering and requires knowledge of the underlying kinetic model. This information can be obtained from experiments by inverting the reaction mechanism, which needs to be known therefore. Solving this inverse problem, however, is mathematically challenging, if not impossible, and the reaction mechanism is mostly unknown for novel compounds. Both of these challenges are addressed in the present thesis by proposing a novel methodology for forward reaction model development, which is based on exploring chemical space without the need for prior knowledge. The presently proposed methodology makes use of reactive molecular dynamics simulations to explore the chemistry of gas-phase compounds. In these dynamic simulations the chemical systems are allowed to evolve naturally, based on the atomistic interactions. During this evolution, bond formation and cleavage are traced based on the atomic connectivities and used to detect reaction events. For each reaction, molecular structures are extracted and high-level quantum mechanical calculations are used to predict reliable thermochemistry and kinetics. This novel chemistry exploration scheme is used to generate an ab initio reaction model for the well-studied high-temperature methane oxidation, which is used as a reference. The ab initio reaction model and a novel reaction pathway observed during simulation are validated against this reference and against high-level quantum mechanics. The comparison of the present ab initio reaction model obtained for high temperature methane oxidation to well-established literature reaction model shows striking agreement. This validation case demonstrates the potential of forward reaction model development using the present purely predictive methodology. Moreover, a reaction pathway previously not considered in kinetic modeling is discovered using the present chemistry exploration scheme and successfully validated in a detailed kinetic study. Potential extensions to the presented chemistry exploration scheme are derived, discussed, and implementations are outline. These extensions focus on the inclusion of effects resulting from microscopic balancing: Pressuredependence and reactions involving non-thermal intermediates. Conversion of high-pressure limit reaction models to pressure-dependent models is intended to be described by microcanonical properties obtained via transformation of canonical properties. A similar transformation is used to obtain information about hot reactions, i.e. the kinetics of non-thermal intermediates. Ultimately, these extensions will be implemented in the presently proposed chemistry exploration scheme to obtain even more accurate ab initio reaction models. In conclusion, the present thesis addresses the increasing need for reaction model development of novel chemical compounds by proposing a novel chemistry exploration scheme. The agreement of reaction pathways and rate constants with literature data reveals the potential of trajectory-based chemistry exploration for developing quantitative reaction models. graphs, tables and diagrams

"1000 Faces/0 Faces/One Face" unites two great contemporary artists who have interrogated constructions of identity with an entirely unknown late-nineteenth-century photographer named Frank Montero. Its thesis runs as follows: in Cindy Sherman's manipulations of generic casting we encounter a face that produces all faces; in Thomas Ruff's proliferating but depersonalized portraits, we all encounter all faces reduced to a zero degree; and in Montero, we encounter a face that plays the role of itself, throughout the inscriptions wrought upon it by time. Montero's work, seemingly made without artistic intentions or ambitions, and published here for the first time, provides a sort of Rembrandt-like counterpoint to the identity arguments made by Ruff and Sherman's work, and alongside them makes for the most fascinating panorama of the absolute constructedness of the photographic portrait and the eerie artifice of identity itself.
The medical world is second to none. Just last year, for example, a 34-year-old old man developed an allergy to cold air. There was also a Brazilian fella who surprised his doctors with having three kidneys. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are plenty of memorable cases that continue to surprise us to this day. And you can find most of them on the subreddit r/MEDizzy. It's an online community created for medical professionals to discuss everything and anything that crosses their minds (or operating tables) and it has seen quite a few interesting posts during the 3 years of its existence. Here are some of them.
Moving Toward the Unknown By John W. Vander Velden The title I used this week fits life in general, but I use it in this post to speak of my newest endeavor. In truth it is a trip I began in August of 2010 when the first words of a story made their way to the computer screen. That’s when I began the story of Elizabeth Beck, the answer to a challenge my beloved made, “Your stories are so sad, can’t you come up with a happy one?” Misty Creek is that story. Not that it doesn’t have its share of sadness. Light and dark are needed to make contrast. That’s the photographer talking. But I wrote Misty Creek for Jackie and it ran long, word count that is. After the first series of revises I let her read it. When she reached the end of Part 5 and said it could end there. My editor disagrees. But I saw her point and I split the story into two books. In the final two revisions Misty Creek grew by twenty percent to a volume it became. The second half, titled, Elizabeth’s Journey, calls for my attention. I hope to begin a new revise of that book after New Year’s. But for now I have a new uncharted territory to cover….publishing. The ending of a long story is I’m self-publishing. I found and am working with a wonderful organization from Charleston, SC. The cover is designed and I could not be more pleased. In just a few weeks I will see, perhaps digitally, the first proof copy. The adrenalin is a pumpin’. Then the game changes for I will have to be active, to some degree in marketing. New experiences…unknown lands. So wish me luck while I continue moving toward the unknown, and I’ll send a prayer your way as well.

Presenting them in a manner consistent with a conscientious view of the corresponding plane of life is the real challenge. This is the plane where the loftiest ambitions are often handled poorly, and where knowledge and superstition can become confused one with the other."

Abstract strategy games present a deterministic perfect information environment with which to test the strategic capabilities of artificial intelligence systems. With no unknowns or random elements, only the competitors' performances impact the results. This thesis takes one such game, Lines of Action, and attempts to develop a competitive heuristic. Due to the complexity of Lines of Action, artificial neural networks are utilized to model the relative values of board states. An application, pLoGANN (Parallel Lines of Action with Genetic Algorithm and Neural Networks), is developed to train the weights of this neural network by implementing a genetic algorithm over a distributed environment. While pLoGANN proved to be designed efficiently, it failed to produce a competitive Lines of Action player, shedding light on the difficulty of developing a neural network to model such a large and complex solution spa
For Protestants, the most unknown aspect of Catholic devotional life is confession. Unless you’re Catholic, you cannot experience it. A Protestant can attend a Catholic baptism, confirmation, wedding, ordination, and Holy Mass; however, he cannot attend a confession or know what it’s like until he actually makes one for the first time. Now most Protestants […]
