Treating Others Merely as Means

In the Formula of Humanity, Kant embraces the principle that it is wrong for us to treat others merely as means. For contemporary Kantian ethicists, this Mere Means Principle plays the role of a moral constraint: it limits what we may do, even in the service of promoting the overall good. But substantive interpretations of the principle generate implausible results in relatively ordinary cases....

Linked Data Is Merely More Data

In this position paper, we argue that the Linked Open Data (LoD) Cloud, in its current form, is only of limited value for furthering the Semantic Web vision. Being merely a weakly linked “triple collection,” it will only be of very limited benefit for the AI or Semantic Web communities. We describe the corresponding problems with the LoD Cloud and give directions for research to remedy the situ...

Hypoxia: not merely a regulator of angiogenesis?

Introduction Maintaining oxygen homeostasis is of vital importance for the survival and development of mammalian cells. Hypoxia (below-normal levels of oxygen in air, blood and tissue) can potentially lead to cellular dysfunction and ultimately cell death and is a feature of many pathological conditions. Understanding how reduced oxygen levels may contribute to or even promote disease is a sign...

Does the TES Stitching Function Merely Stitch?

Compared to most of the traffic modeling techniques used today, TES (Transform-Expand-Sample) is among the youngest ones. Its basic scheme consists of creating a randomly governed background sequence, smoothing it and finally adapting it to a given marginal distribution, altogether yielding a foreground sequence. In this scheme, the so-called Stitching Function originally is responsible for rem...
