In this paper, I argue that appeals to intuition in Analytic Philosophy are not compelling arguments because intuitions the sort of thing has power rationally persuade other professional analytic philosophers. This conclusion follows from reasonable premises about goal Philosophy, which is rational persuasion by means arguments, and requirement evidence for and/or against philosophical theses u...

power transformers are key components in electrical power supplies and their failure could cause severe consequences on continuity of service and also generates substantial costs. identifying problems at an early stage, before catastrophic failure occurs, is a great benefit for reliable operation of power transformers. frequency response analysis (fra) is a new, well-known and powerful diagnost...

Power dissipation and energy consumption have recently become first-order design constraints for microprocessors. In this paper we present the measured power dissipation of several SPEC benchmarks executing on a Pentium 4 processor. Using on-chip performance monitoring counters, we dynamically correlate relevant performance metrics such as instructions per cycle, second-level cache hits, and bo...
