252. SCULPTING IDEAS: CAN PHILOSOPHY BE AN ART FORM?

Abstract

Philosophy has been examining art for millennia. But can philosophy be an art form? An affirmative answer would raise interesting questions about philosophical self-reflexivity. In his Philosophical Explanations Robert Nozick raises this question, not for the above reason, but to suggest that such an answer would enhance both the methodology and the aim of philosophy, which is to show that human beings are valuable. I argue that to the extent that it satisfies Nozick's and Arthur Danto's concepdons of art, Plato's Phaedo is an example of philosophyas- art. But does philosophy need narrative in order to be art?.

Abstract

The recent article by Harrison and colleagues has limitations which were not adequately addressed.1 It was perhaps hardly surprising to find no differences in plasma budesonide concentrations between normal and asthmatic subjects due to the higher levels and a relatively insensitive assay compared with fluticasone. The respective dry powder inhaler devices for each drug differ markedly in their fine particle dose delivery which will determine peripheral lung deposition and, in turn, systemic absorption. The fine particle dose expressed as a percentage of the nominal dose for fluticasone Accuhaler (Diskus) is 12% compared with 40% for budesonide Turbuhaler.2 Moreover, there is a much higher proportion of coarse particles from the Accuhaler than from the Turbuhaler.3 The study was therefore biased towards showing greater attenuation of peripheral lung absorption with fluticasone Accuhaler in asthmatic subjects. The authors state that they are unaware of any previous direct comparisons of the effects of fluticasone and budesonide on osteocalcin concentrations. In adult asthmatic subjects steady state dosing for 12 days showed greater percentage suppression with fluticasone than with budesonide of 08.00 hour plasma cortisol levels compared with …

294. LANDSAT data for coastal zone management

Author

Mckenzie, S

Subjects
Earth Resources And Remote Sensing
Abstract

The lack of adequate, current data on land and water surface conditions in New Jersey led to the search for better data collections and analysis techniques. Four-channel MSS data of Cape May County and access to the OSER computer interpretation system were provided by NASA. The spectral resolution of the data was tested and a surface cover map was produced by going through the steps of supervised classification. Topics covered include classification; change detection and improvement of spectral and spatial resolution; merging LANDSAT and map data; and potential applications for New Jersey.
