Coccolithophores represent a major component of the marine phytoplankton and contribute to bulk biogenic calcite formation on Earth. These unicellular protists produce minute scales (coccoliths) within cell, which are secreted cell surface. Individual coccoliths their arrangements surface display wide range morphological variations. This review explores some recent evidence that points similari...

Names matter! Schizophrenia has negative associations which impede individual recovery and induce societal and self-stigmatization. Alternatives have been proposed and are worthy of debate; changes made in Japan have generally been considered successful. The group of 'schizophrenia and other psychoses' could be further differentiated based on the major social factors identified, i.e. drug misus...

I defend a general rule for updating beliefs that takes into account both the impact of new evidence and changes in the subject’s location. The rule combines standard conditioning with a “shifting” operation that moves the center of each doxastic possibility forward to the next point where information arrives. I show that well-known arguments for conditioning lead to this combination when cente...
