La explicación de la verdad que Wilfrid Sellars ofrece en su artículo “Verdad y ‘correspondencia’”, nos presenta una aparente tensión interna entre dos aspectos supuestamente incompatibles con sus puntos de vista sobre la verdad. Para resolver plenamente esta tensión, es necesario tener en cuenta una explicación de la atribución de significado. Creemos que la explicación que Sellars ofrece, sob...

The waste-recycling Monte Carlo (WR) algorithm, introduced by Frenkel, is a modification of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, which makes use of all the proposals, whereas the standard Metropolis-Hastings algorithm only uses the accepted proposals. We prove the convergence of the WR algorithm and its asymptotic normality. We give an example which shows that in general the WR algorithm is not a...

We have characterized Unstable factor for orange1 (Ufo1), a dominant, allele-specific modifier of expression of the maize pericarp color1 (p1) gene. The p1 gene encodes an Myb-homologous transcriptional activator of genes required for biosynthesis of red phlobaphene pigments. The P1-wr allele specifies colorless kernel pericarp and red cobs, whereas Ufo1 modifies P1-wr expression to confer pigm...

Aminothiols, such as WR-2721 and its active free thiol, WR-1065, reduce mutations from ionizing radiation in exponentially growing cells. In this study, human noncycling G0 T lymphocytes were exposed in vitro to gamma-irradiation in the presence or absence of WR-1065. The five treatment groups were: (a) control; (b) treatment with 4 mM WR-1065; (c) treatment with 3 Gy of gamma-radiation, from a...

Water-restricted (WR) rats exhibit a rapid suppression of plasma corticosterone following drinking. The present study monitored Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos) to assess the effect of WR-induced drinking on the activity of vasopressin (VP)-positive magnocellular and parvocellular neurons and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-positive parvocellular neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of t...

This document addresses the issues of the discovery of local URN resolver services that in turn will directly translate URNs into URLs and URCs. The document falls into three major parts, the assumptions underlying the work, the requirements in order to be a viable Resolver Discovery Service or RDS to help in finding URN resolvers, and a framework for designing RDSs. The requirements fall into ...

This document addresses the issues of the discovery of URN (Uniform Resource Name) resolver services that in turn will directly translate URNs into URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) and URCs (Uniform Resource Characteristics). The document falls into three major parts, the assumptions underlying the work, the guidelines in order to be a viable Resolver Discovery Service or RDS, and a framework f...

It is common for placenames to reference other named entities (e.g. names of people, names of organizations, etc.) and to be used as vocabulary words (e.g. city of Split). Apart from reference ambiguity, placenames are faced with the problem of referent ambiguity (i.e., a placename referring to multiple places). Many places are also referred to by multiple names (e.g. Netherlands vs. Holland). ...

Abstract One million cases of skin wounds, either closed or open necessitate wound treatments to improve the quality life. In this study, gellan gum biopolymer (Ag@TiO 2 NRs/GG) hydrogel film with Ag loaded TiO nanorods was fabricated for healing dressing. The performance Ag@TiO WR/GG tested in vitro and vivo investigate its ability regenerate tissue. FTIR, XRD, SEM were used examine physical c...
