This paper describes a version of type identity physicalism, which we call Flat Physicalism, and shows how it meets several objections often raised against theories. theory is informed by recent results in the conceptual foundations physics, particular clarifies notion ‘physical kinds' light analysis paradigmatic case reducing thermodynamics to statistical mechanics. We show Physicalism compati...

purpose : the first report of electroretinographic changes following the intravitreal injection of carboplatin in a patient with retinoblastoma case report : recurrent tumors after chemoreduction and adjunctive local treatment in a case of familial unilateral retinoblastoma, group c, was treated with intravitreal carboplatin (10 µg) injections. results : the tumor was regressed after 3 injectio...

If R is a ring of coefficients and G a finite group, then a flat RG-module which is projective as an R-module is necessarily projective as an RG-module. More generally, if H is a subgroup of finite index in an arbitrary group Γ, then a flat RΓmodule which is projective as an RH-module is necessarily projective as an RΓ-module. This follows from a generalization of the first theorem to modules o...

We define the basket number, the flat plumbing number and the flat plumbing basket number of a link. Then we provide some upperbounds for these plumbing numbers by using Seifert’s algorithm. We study the relation between these plumbing numbers and the genera of links.

We investigate the hypothesis that the (random) crystal of the (−)-phase inside the (+)-phase of the 3D canonical Ising model has flat facets. We argue that it might need to be weakened, due to the possibility of formation of extra monolayer on a facet. We then prove this weaker hypothesis for the Solid-On-Solid model.

In general, flat outputs of a nonlinear system may depend on the system's state and input as well an arbitrary number time derivatives latter. If output which also depends is known, one pose question whether there exists independent these derivatives, i.e., (x,u)-flat output. Until now, every possesses has been open. this contribution, conjecture disproved by means counterexample. We present tw...

HbbTV is a European initiative for providing both broadcast and broadband/web content on a flat-panel screen in the living room. The HbbTV specification introduces only a few new technical components; it is mainly based on existing standards. In this respect, it represents a specific profile of available technologies, rather than a completely new technical development. This approach will be ext...

Dual income tax systems can suffer from income that shifts from progressively taxed labour income to capital income, which is taxed at a lower, flat rate. This paper empirically examines the 1993 Finnish dual income tax reform, which radically reduced the marginal tax rates on capital income for some, but not all, taxpayers. We measure how overall taxable income and the relative shares of capit...
