Key Words: Wittgenstein, K.S. Johannessen, the strong thesis of tacit knowledge, intransitive understanding, pragmatic turn in epistemology. Influenced by later Wittgenstein's philosophy, a group of Scandinavian philosophers, with K.S.Johannessen as the leading figure, make a unique contribution to the ongoing discussion of tacit knowledge. They differentiate the strong and the weak interpretat...

A break-up of the Eurozone is regarded as inevitable by some. This will be a costly and irreversible decision in conditions of continuing uncertainty, therefore amenable to analysis in the real options framework. We do so by solving as an optimal stopping n−dimensional problem with: (1) country-specific shocks, (2) the “convergence” of member economies, and (3) a complete break-up versus indivi...

The naming of objects usually takes longer than reading their names. Cattell (1886) was the first to measure this difference in latency between naming and reading, which he explained in terms of greater practice for reading than for naming. However, a study by Brown (1915) showed that even after 10 days of practice in naming, reading was, on average, 131 msec faster than naming. Ligon (1932) in...

A sensitive, simple method for the determination of trace amounts of samarium by spectrophotometry is described based on the formation of the samarium-chrome azurol S (CAS) complex in micellar medium. The molar absorptivities of the complexes at pH 7.5 at 505 nm were 3.6x10(4) and 1.4x10(5) l mol(-1) cm(-1) for water media and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), respectively. Beer's law is obeyed f...

4:505, 1960). Each rabbit was prebled to assure that its serum was noninhibitory for the growth of PPLO. Two control rabbits were included in this study. One was inoculated with the sediment from 1 liter of the same broth medium which had been incubated but not inoculated with PPLO. The other rabbit served as an uninoculated control. The growth-inhibition test (Fabricant, Avian Diseases 4:505, ...

Intracranial invasion of paranasal sinusitis is an emergency condition that requires surgical and medical intervention in order to avoid further deterioration. We surveyed patients at the Buddhist Tzu Chi Hospital (Hualien, Taiwan) who had paranasal sinusitis with intracranial invasion. A total of 505 patients with paranasal sinusitis were surveyed at Hualien Buddhist Tzu Chi Hospital over a 14...

One Japanese pedigree of familial essential thrombocythemia (FET) inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner is presented. A unique point mutation, serine 505 to asparagine 505 (Ser505Asn), was identified in the transmembrane domain of the c-MPL gene in all of the 8 members with thrombocythemia, but in none of the other 8 unaffected members in this FET family. The Ba/F3 cells expressing the muta...
