Dysphagia localized to the post-cricoid region occurring mainly in middle-aged women was first fully described in the papers of Paterson (1919) and Kelly (1919). Kelly noted an association with anaemia, superficial glossitis, and angular stomatitis, while Paterson remarked on " the not infrequent supervention of malignant disease at the mouth of the gullet." Vinson (1922) observed the developme...

hilary putnam and John McDowell have each argued against representational realist theories of perception and in favor of direct realist (or “common-sense realist”) alternatives. i claim that in both cases they beg the question against their representational realist opponents. Moreover, in neither case has any alternative been offered to the representational realist position where the solution t...

Electronic power modules devices are paramount components in the aeronautical, automotive and military applications. The solder layers are the most critical parts of the module and are usually subjected in their whole life to complex loading conditions. To improve the design task, realistic thermoelastoviscoplastic and lifetime prediction models which can describe efficiently the deformation-da...

The identity theory of truth, according to which true thoughts are identical with facts, is very hard to formulate. It oscillates between substantive versions, which are implausible, and a merely truistic version, which is difficult to distinguish from deflationism about truth. This tension is present in the form of identity theory that one can attribute to McDowell from his views on perception...

PERRIERITE and chevkinite are rare R E E T i silicates reported from granitic and syenitic pegmatites and igneous rocks, volcanic ash beds, ignimbrites, and anorthosite (e.g. Jaffe et al., 1956; Young and Powers, 1960; Mitchell, 1966; Izett and Wilcox, 1968; Raade, 1970; Brooks and Rucklidge, 1976; Segalstad and Larsen, 1978; McDowell, 1979; Harding et al., 1982). The minerals are easily confus...
