This paper considers critically the enterprise of naturalizing the subjective experience of acting intentionally. I specifically expose the limits of the model that conceives of agency as composed of two stages. The first stage consists in experiencing an anonymous intention without being conscious of it as anybody’s in particular. The second stage disambiguates this anonymous experience thanks...

In this paper I investigate the representation of self-consciousness in the still life tradition in the Netherlands around the time of Descartes’ residence there. I treat the paintings of this tradition as both a phenomenological resource and as a phenomenological undertaking in their own right. I begin with an introductory overview of the still life tradition, with particular attention to semi...

BACKGROUND An estimated 30-50% of essential tremor (ET) diagnoses are incorrect, and the true diagnosis in those patients is often Parkinson's disease (PD) or other tremor disorders. There are general statements about the tremor in these ET and PD, but published data on the more subtle characteristics of tremor are surprisingly limited. Postural tremor may occur in both disorders, adding to the...

the phenomenological model of khossravi and connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. the accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (apmd). the obtained apmd for correlative and predictive studies ...

aims : understanding the experiences of mothers could be as a strategy for the physicians, nurses who are working in nicu and administrators in the care centers in order to provide supports for parents, particularly mothers and an effective step to improve the quality of nursing care of premature infants and their parents.   methods : in this study, one of the qualitative research methods as de...

We propose that under certain conditions the universal open string tachyon can drive topological inflation in moduli stabilised frameworks. Namely, the presence of electric field in the world volume of the D-brane can slow down its decay leading to a phenomenological model of inflation. The conditions for inflation to take place are difficult to satisfy in the standard warped deformed conifold ...

The Jarlskog Invariant Jν−map of the neutrino mapping matrix is calculated based on a phenomenological model which relates the smallness of light lepton masses me and m1 (of ν1) with the smallness of T violation. For small T violating phase χl in the lepton sector, Jν−map is proportional to χl, but me and m1 are proportional to χ2l . This leads to Jν−map ∼= 1 6 √ me mμ +O ( √ memμ m2τ )

Based on a robust, phenomenological model for the growth of a system parameter, a relation is derived to test the evolution of such a parameter through several distinct stages. It is found that data defining the acknowledged major changes in the evolution of earth, the life on it, and cultural and technological growth, conform to this model. The nature of these altering events indicates that in...
