Peter Winch believed that the central task of philosophy was to investigate ‘the force concept reality’ in human practices. This involved creative dialogue with critical metaphysics. In ‘Ceasing Exist’, considered what it means judge something unheard-of has happened. Referring Wittgenstein, argued judgments concerning reality must relate our observations a shared ‘flow life’. implies criticism...

Discovery supposes either chance or inductive reasoning. We document here an approach to explore genome texts, where the neighborhoods of genes and gene products (in the genome, in phylogeny, in metabolic pathways, in codon usage bias, ‘‘in biblio’’. . .) were used to make inferences about the function of unknown genes. Examples are provided in the case of pyrimidine biosynthesis, showing that ...

The formation of microporosity in modified Al-Si alloys has been reviewed in the present study. A major concern in modification is the increased tendency to form microporosity in the macro-shrinkage free Al-Si alloy castings. It has also been demonstrated that at low hydrogen contents (0.1cc/ 100g, Al), where only shrinkage porosity should occur, the effect of Sr-modification on porosity conten...
