This paper defends the view that philosophical propositions are merely relatively true, i.e. true relative to a doxastic perspective defined at least in part by a non-inferential belief-acquiring method. Here is the strategy: first, the primary way that contemporary philosophers defend their views is through the use of rational intuition, and this method delivers non-inferential, basic beliefs ...

Intuition is a very individualized feeling about a particular person, or a situation; and, as health care providers being midwives and nurses, we most of the...

One, by Bialek and Botstein (2004), describes what would amount to comprehensive curriculum reforms to better integrate mathematics int...

A biosensor can sense biological elements after interaction with the recognition element. The signal produced due to interaction of the analyte with its biochemical element is transduced by a transducer and detected by appropriate modes. The miniaturization of these biosensors at the nano level using nanostructures as a platform for sensing the analyte or its detection is called a nanobiosensor...

BACKGROUND The neurological outcome of decompressive surgery for cervical myelopathy is influenced by several factors. Although each factor may have an independent effect, it is more likely that the outcome is influenced by more than one factor. We examined the results of multivariate analysis and multiple regression analysis of the neurological outcome of patients treated by cervical cord deco...

A traditional source of evidence in linguistics is intuition, the judgments of competent speakers of a language. Patterns in the intuitions motivate theoretical developments, and hypotheses are tested against those intuitions. In much of the literature on intuitions in linguistics, 'intuition' is used synonymously with 'grammaticality judgment,' which in turn is a (widely-recognized) misnomer f...
