Despite the ubiquity of conventional implicatures in language and critical role they play argumentation, have heretofore been almost entirely absent from theories argument linguistic expression reasoning. In this paper, we discuss (cis) as an interesting phenomenon at interface semantics, pragmatics argumentation by harnessing research semantics extending existing account for diagramming with t...

T ransarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most commonly performed therapy for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and a complete response after the initial TACE or during the treatment course is the most robust predictor of a favorable outcome.1 TACE loads hypoxic and chemotherapeutic stress on HCC, and surviving tumors frequently change to a sarcomatous appearance2 or show a mixed ...

Overview This chapter focuses on marking practices applicable to conventional ammunition. It is intended to present, in brief, the utility of systematic ammunition marking for improving the safety and security of conventional ammunition stocks, particularly in relation to the risk of accidents (including explosive and incendiary risks) and the potential for illicit diversion. The chapter also p...

It is argued, on the basis of linear response theory (LRT), that new types of stochastic resonance (SR) are to be anticipated in diverse systems, quite different from the one most commonly studied to date, which has a static double-well potential and is driven by a net force equal to the sum of periodic and stochastic terms. On this basis, three new nonconventional forms of SR are predicted, so...

INTRODUCTION Fetal MRI is a safe, noninvasive way to image the developing fetal brain. In clinical practice, it is primarily performed for further evaluation of a suspected sonographic abnormality. Fetal MRI is also performed in conditions where prenatal sonography of the fetal brain is normal but the fetus is at increased risk for neurodevelopmental abnormalities. These include complications o...

The article takes its cue from models of quantitative research applied to complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) and pinpoints some innovative features in the case at issue (Portugal). It goes on to outline new research scenarios moving beyond the either biomedical or CAM framework.

In my recent article, ‘Do Human Rights Treaties Make a Difference?’, I presented evidence and arguments that called into doubt two widely shared assumptions: (1) that countries generally comply with their human rights treaty commitments and (2) that countries’ practices will be better if they have ratified treaties than they otherwise would be. In response, Professors Ryan Goodman and Derek Jin...

In an experimental critique of the moral/conventional (M/C) distinction, Kelly et al. (2007) present new experimental data about responses to transgressions involving harm, where the novelty is that transgressors are grown-ups, rather than children. Their data do not support the moral/conventional distinction. The contrast between grown-up and schoolyard transgressions does not seem, however, t...
