Parfit's Moral Arithmetic and the Obligation to Obey the Law
Though consequentialist theories of political obligation have been widely criticized in recent years, a series of arguments presented by Derek Parfit, in Reasons and Persons, are now believed to have given this position new life.
The Forms and Limits of Utilitarianism
Dyestuffs with pigment properties are obtained, by acylating dyestuffs of the anthraquinone and anthraquinoid series which have at least one amino or mercapto group with tetrabromo- or tetrachloro-benzthiazoles or benzoxazoles which are substituted in the 2-position with an anionic leaving-group. Subject of the invention are furthermore the acylation reagents 2-chlorotetrabromobenzthiazole and 2-chlorotetrabromobenzoxazol, which are manufactured by chlorination of benzthiazol, respectively benzoxazol in the 2-position and subsequent bromination of the benzene nucleus.
Performance Evaluation of Fuzzy Routing Algorithms for a New Fuzzy Mixed Metric Approach
Optimizing routing decisions has been an important subject in research of communication networks. The present paper is introducing a new fuzzy mixed metric approach, which takes routing decisions based on fuzzy costs in parallel to crisp cost of other metrics. The present paper evaluates the new fuzzy approach for its performance. The paper first describes the new fuzzy approach and the fuzzy routing algorithms developed for the approach and then the performance is evaluated both in empirical and analytical terms to show its advantages over the previous fuzzy approaches and traditional link- state routing approach. The paper analyzes the performance for different cases to show the efficacy of load on delay. The present paper bargains with three such cases.
