Alcohol-related amnesia—alcohol blackout—is a common claim of criminal defendants. The generally held belief is that during an alcohol blackout, other cognitive functioning is severely impaired or absent. The presentation of alcohol blackout as scientific evidence in court requires that the science meets legal reliability standards (Frye, FRE702/Daubert). To determine whether “alcohol blackout”...

This article traces the phenomenon of facilitated communication (FC) from its introduction to the United States in 1990 to its use in recent court proceedings. FC is an alleged breakthrough technique that enables nonverbal individuals with developmental disabilities to communicate via a form of assisted typing. Widespread use of FC resulted in miraculous communications and surprising allegation...

I kunst og håndverk er arbeidsoppgaven en læringsoppgave eleven eller studenten bruker tid på for å lære faget. Arbeidsoppgaven verkstedsbasert, – praktisk estetisk. Det ikke tradisjon lære­bøker i dette faget, hvilket innebærer at læreren didaktisk planlegging gjennomføring, med som grunnlag læring. Artikkelen spør: Hvilke didaktiske kategorier bør inngå fagdidaktisk modell til støtte gjennomf...

Given a linear equation L, a set A ⊆ [n] is L-free if A does not contain any ‘non-trivial’ solutions to L. In this paper we consider the following three general questions: (i) What is the size of the largest L-free subset of [n]? (ii) How many L-free subsets of [n] are there? (iii) How many maximal L-free subsets of [n] are there? We completely resolve (i) in the case when L is the equation px ...

The ground-breaking report on forensic science by the National Academy of Sciences— Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward—raised numerous issues. One dominant theme that runs throughout the Report is the failure of some forensic science disciplines to comport with fundamental scientific principles—in particular, to support claims with empirical research. This essay...

I artiklen redegør jeg med et gennemgående eksempel for aspekter af terapeutens bevidst-blivelse. Det første hovedafsnit handler om det figur-grund forhold, som eksisterer mellem den terapeutiske proces og praktiske teoretiske kontekst, i form erfaringer viden danner baggrund det, hun siger gør. Terapeutens opmærksomhed empatiske evne er central processen. Den anden side bevidst-blivelsen udgør...

a second virial coefficient correlation suitable for two different temperatures ranges, (t*)-2£180 and (t*)-2>180, where t* is rt/dhvap is presented. the equation of state can be calculated for different, complicated non-polar, and slightly polar liquid mixtures at any temperature over the range from ttp to tc and up to high pressures. the latent heat of vaporization and density at the triple p...

we derive the formulas of the maximal andminimal ranks of four real matrices $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}$ and $x_{4}$in common solution $x=x_{1}+x_{2}i+x_{3}j+x_{4}k$ to quaternionmatrix equations $a_{1}x=c_{1},xb_{2}=c_{2},a_{3}xb_{3}=c_{3}$. asapplications, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions forthe existence of the common real and complex solutions to the matrixequations. we give the exp...

diffusivity equation commonly used for pressure distribution prediction in porous media results from substituting equation of state and continuity equation in navier-stokes momentum equation. from mathematical point of view this equation format shows infinite propagation speed for pressure pulse through porous media, which is physically impossible. this issue may caused by numerous assumptions ...
