This paper explores the possibility of supplementing the suppositional view of indicative conditionals with a corresponding view of epistemic modals. The most striking feature of the suppositional view consists in its claim that indicative conditionals are to be evaluated by conditional probabilities. On the basis of a natural link between indicative conditionals and epistemic modals, a corresp...

This note is on cautious cut elimination for one of Veltman's might logics. Syntactically, the logic is presented as an extension of a sequent system for classical propositional logic (hence: cpl). I show that this extension preserves the completeness and decidability of cpl. The proof has cautious cut elimination as a corollary. I also give a rather general syntactic proof of cautious cut elim...

signal transducers and activators of transcription (stats) are cytoplasmic transcription factors that have a key role in cell fate. stats, a protein family comprised of seven members, are proteins which are latent cytoplasmic transcription factors that convey signals from the cell surface to the nucleus through activation by cytokines and growth factors. the signaling pathways have diverse biol...

through the origin containing vθ and projθ : R 2 → Lθ the orthogonal projection. From now on, we’ll restrict θ to the interval [−π/2, π/2], because Lθ = Lθ+π. In 1954, J. M. Marstrand [10] proved the following result on the fractal dimension of plane sets. Theorem 1.1. If K ⊂ R is a Borel set such that HD(K) > 1, then m(projθ(K)) > 0 for m-almost every θ ∈ R. The proof is based on a qualitative...

Abstract. We find two-sided inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric function with positive parameters restricted by certain additional conditions. Our lower bounds are asymptotically precise at x = 0, while the upper bounds are either asymptotically precise or at least agree with q+1Fq((aq+1), (bq);−x) at x = ∞. Inequalities are derived as corollaries of a theorem asserting the monotony...

Local government and the NHS in Barking and Dagenham embarked on a bold inititiative in 2001 to integrate health and social care management structures. Although it was not sustained, this local experience is an important source of learning as the search for improved partnership working enters yet another new phase. In particular, it demonstrates that the route to better outcomes depends on mana...

Two measures of how near an arbitrary function between groups is to being a homomorphism are considered. These have properties similar to conjugates and commutators. The authors show that there is a rich theory based on these structures, and that this theory can be used to unify disparate approaches such as group cohomology and the transfer and to prove theorems. The proof of the Schur-Zassenha...

recent of four unexpected arrivals of important arthropod-borne viral diseases in the Western Hemisphere over the past 20 years. It follows dengue, which entered this hemisphere stealthily over decades and then more aggressively in the 1990s; West Nile virus, which emerged in 1999; and chikungunya, which emerged in 2013. Are the successive migrations of these viruses unrelated, or do they refle...
