In his 1996 article ―Enduring Substances, Trying Theories,Sidney Mintz returned to a theme that has been central to his work on the Caribbean, that of the region‘s fundamental and historically specific modernity. Discussing ...

The book is a selection of eighty-one articles on various phases of modern investigation of the physical world. The immense seope of this field gives, necessarily, the appearance of randomness to choice of subjects. ...

The Casimir effect for mass dimension one fermion fields (sometimes called Elko) in (3 + 1) dimensions is obtained using Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is shown that the existence of a repulsive force is four times ...

In the city of Cuenca in the south of Ecuador, analogous documentation techniques continue to be the unique registration mechanism for built heritage. The heritage characteristics of modern architecture in Cuenca are not ...

We study a class of lattice field theories in two dimensions that includes gauge theories. We show that in these theories it is possible to implement a broader notion of local symmetry, based on semisimple Hopf algebras. ...

A fundamental action, representing a mass dimension-transmuting operator between Dirac and ELKO spinor fields, is performed on the Dirac Lagrangian, in order to lead it into the ELKO Lagrangian. Such a dynamical transformation ...

The introduction of a new agricultural practice or technological package and its adoption by small farmers in a complex process is presented. The most commonly used component was the use of small pavers and the most commonly ...
