Recent work in philosophy of language has raised significant problems for the traditional theory of propositions, engendering serious skepticism about its general workability. These problems are, I believe, tied to fundamental misconceptions about how the theory should be developed. The goal of this paper is to show how to develop the traditional theory in a way which solves the problems and pu...

George McDonald Church studied DNA from living and from extinct species in the US during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Church helped to develop and refine techniques with which to describe the complete sequence of all the DNA nucleotides in an organism's genome [4], techniques such as multiplex sequencing, polony sequencing, and nanopore sequencing. Church also contributed to the Hu...

028 Clinical results of arthroscopic repair for incomplete rotator cuff tear Takayuki Sugihara, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital To clear the merits of arthroscopic surgery, we investigated the clinical outcome of the arthroscopic repair on incomplete rotator cuff tears. Thirteen shoulders with incomplete rotator cuff tears were treated by arthroscopy from 2000 to 2005. There were 9...

Abs t rac t . An elementary "majorant-minorant method" to construct the most stringent Bonferroni-type inequalities is presented. These are essentially Chebyshev-type inequalities for discrete probability distributions on the set {0, 1 , . . . , n}, where n is the number of concerned events, and polynomials with specific properties on the set lead to the inequalities. All the known resuits are ...

Group theoretical arguments combined with normal mode analysis techniques are applied to a coarse-grained approximation of icosahedral viral capsids which incorporates areas of variable flexibility. This highlights a remarkable structure of the low-frequency spectrum in this approximation, namely, the existence of a plateau of 24 near zero modes with universal group theory content.

The Caspar Creek watershed study provides resource professionals with information regarding the impacts of timber operations conducted under varying forest practices on sensitive aquatic habitats. In the South Fork watershed, roads were constructed near watercourse channels in the 1960’s, and the watershed was selectively logged using tractors during the early 1970’s. Subwatersheds in the North...

Neuroeconomics has further bridged the once disparate fields of economics and psychology. Such convergence is almost exclusively attributable to changes within economics. Neuroeconomics has inspired more change within economics than within psychology because the most important findings in neuroeconomics have posed more of a challenge to the standard economic perspective. Neuroeconomics has prim...

This paper presents an introduction to interactive multimedia performance, discusses its various components and focuses on preservation issues. As interactive multimedia performance is becoming popular in the performing arts communities, like other types of performance, there is the need to preserve related information and components of a performance for future study, analysis and recreation. O...
