Scattering function of semiflexible polymer chains under good solvent conditions
2012
Using the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth Monte Carlo algorithm, the scattering functions of semiflexible macromolecules in dilute solution under good solvent conditions are estimated both in $d=2$ and $d=3$ dimensions, considering also the effect of stretching forces. Using self-avoiding walks of up to $N = 25600$ steps on the square and simple cubic lattices, variable chain stiffness is modeled by introducing an energy penalty $\epsilon_b$ for chain bending; varying $q_b=\exp (- \epsilon_b/k_BT)$ from $q_b=1$ (completely flexible chains) to $q_b = 0.005$, the persistence length can be varied over two orders of magnitude. For unstretched semiflexible chains we test the applicability of the Krat…

Truth and Historicism in Kuhn’s Thesis of Methodological Incommensurability
2013
Methodological incommensurability is a Thomas Kuhn’s thesis affirming that there are not shared, objective methodological rules or neutral scientific standards for theory comparison and choice. This thesis has often been interpreted as a relativistic and irrationalist claim on the incomparability of scientific theories. Since every paradigm refers to its standards, problem-field and aims, theory choice is subjective and arbitrary. Moreover it seems that, in his latest works, Kuhn abandons this aspect of incommensurability to focus on semantic incommensurability. On the contrary I will argue against the interpretation of methodological incommensurability as a source of epistemological relati…

Conservación de la naturaleza: crítica a la estrategia contemporánea para la conservación de las especies
2013
La conservación de la naturaleza es un tema de interés actual; sin embargo, este planteamiento tiene diversos significados en el mundo contemporáneo, tanto en su sentido filosófico como científico. No obstante esta diversidad de visiones, la propuesta conservacionista que hace la Unión Mundial para la Naturaleza (IUCN) resulta la de mayor aceptación e influencia. Dentro de este planteamiento, ocupa una posición central la conservación de especies, tanto animales como vegetales; y de manera especial, la conservación biológica de especies. En esta tesis se analiza el pensamiento contemporáneo sobre la conservación de la naturaleza, aplicando un enfoque basado en la historia y la sociología de…
T.S. Kuhn. Lògica o sociologia de la investigació científica?
1998
Fa un parell d'anys, amb motiu de la mort de Thomas S. Kuhn, van aparèixer diversos articles tant en la premsa especialitzada com en la premsa diària. No es pot, però, reduir l'interès del seu pensament a un ritual necrològic; l'obra de Kuhn, al meu parer, continua present en l'intent de comprensió de la ciència, tasca pròpia de l' epistemologia.
