In Wehmeier (2004) we are presented with the subjunctive modal language, a way of dealing with the expressive inadequacy of modal logic by marking atomic predicates as being either in the subjunctive or indicative mood. Wehmeier claims that this language is expressively equivalent to the standard actuality language, and that despite this the markedunmarked dichotomies are not the same in the tw...

On one interpretation, haecceitism is the doctrine that there are distinct possible worlds that are qualitatively just alike. On another interpretation, haecceitism is the doctrine that there are distinct possible worlds that are qualitatively just alike and also differ with respect to the de-re possibilities they represent for some individual— with respect, that is, to how they represent that ...

Philosophy abounds in troublesome modal arguments-endlessly debated, perennially plausible, perennially suspect. The standards of validity for modal reasoning have long been unclear; they become clear only when we provide a semantic analysis of modal logic by reference to possible worlds and to possible things therein.2 Thus insofar as we understand modal reasoning at all, we understand it as d...

Monthly time series of nutrient pools and transport in the Baltic Entrance were computed for the period 1974–1999 from a combination of hydrodynamic model results and observational data obtained in national monitoring programmes. Significant seasonal variations in both nutrient pools and transport were found. For example, inflowing dense nutrient-rich Skagerrak water causes net transport of dis...

BACKGROUND Postsurgical treatment of ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN) with standard doses of tamoxifen has not reached a consensus yet. Given positive results of low-dose tamoxifen on breast cancer biomarkers modulation, we analyzed a large cohort of DIN patients treated with low-dose tamoxifen or no treatment as per institutional guidelines. PATIENTS AND METHODS All consecutive women o...

The asynchronous systems f are the models of the asynchronous circuits from digital electrical engineering. They are multi-valued functions that associate to each input u : R → {0, 1} a set of states x ∈ f(u), where x : R → {0, 1}. The intersection of the systems allows adding supplementary conditions in modeling and the union of the systems allows considering the validity of one of two systems...

The concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the porewaters of shallow-water tropical marine sediments can be as high as 50-100 µM, at sediment depths of shallow as 20 cm. These concentrations are at least two-orders of magnitude greater than the DIN concentration in the overlying water. High porewater concentrations, and the resulting concentration gradient, result in substantial...

BACKGROUND Ductal intraepitelial neoplasia (DIN) represents a spectrum of disease that may progress from usual hyperplasia to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) grade 3. The aim of the study was to asses the correlation between the DIN classification and the surgical treatment including sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 229 patients with DIN had...

A novel stability-indicating reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of Celecoxib (CEL) and Diacerein (DIN) and its impurities in capsule dosage form. The method was developed using L1 column with gradient using the mobile phase consist of Solution A (pH = 2.3 buffer) and Solution B (methanol and acetonitrile; 50...
