Partner (Dis)agreement on Moving Desires and the Subsequent Moving Behaviour of Couples Residential mobility decisions are known to be made at the household level. However, most empirical analyses of residential mobility relate moving behaviour to the housing and neighbourhood satisfaction and pre-move thoughts of individuals. If partners in a couple do not share evaluations of dwelling or neig...

We show that standard solar models are in good agreement with the helioseismologically determined sound speed and density as a function of solar radius, the depth of the convective zone, and the surface helium abundance, as long as those models do not incorporate the most recent heavy element abundance determinations. However, sophisticated new analyses of the solar atmosphere infer lower abund...

OBJECTIVE To examine the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) at the item level after stroke. DESIGN An intra-rater and inter-rater reliability study. SUBJECTS Thirty-five participants (median age 62 years, median time post-stroke 22 months) with impaired upper extremity function after stroke were included in the study. METHODS Two physiotherapists sim...

Black Americans are a core Democratic constituency, despite holding views on social issues that put them in conflict with the party. Conventional wisdom attributes this partisan commitment to the salience of race and concerns about racial inequality. This paper considers whether the Democratic bias derives in part from low levels of political knowledge. Using data from the 2004 National Annenbe...

In this section we give all the necessary details to implement the EP algorithm [1] for the GPCconf method described in the main manuscript. We show how to compute the EP posterior approximation from the product of all approximate factors and how to implement the EP updates to refine each approximate factor. We also show how to compute the EP approximation of the marginal likelihood and its gra...

The philosopher of science faces overwhelming disagreement in the literature on the definition, nature, structure, ontology, and content of scientific theories. These disagreements are at least partly responsible for disagreements in many of the debates in the discipline which put weight on the concept scientific theory. I argue that available theories of theories and conceptual analyses of the...

Scientific disagreements due to empirical problems—not enough data, not enough of the critical type of data, problems in analyzing the data—are generally short-lived and resolved in the next cycle of data production. Such disagreements are thus transitory in nature. Persistent scientific conflicts, on the other hand, do not necessarily mean some facts are correct and some are wrong, nor do they...
