When collective decisions should be made democratically, which people form the relevant demos? Many theorists think this question is an embarrassment to democratic theory: (1) because any decision about who forms demos must democratically by right demos, itself constituted and so on ad infinitum; (2) neither concept of democracy, nor (3) our reasons for caring determine demos. Having distinguis...

Error Statistics and Duhem’s Problem Gregory R. Wheeler Absract No one has a well-developed solution to Duhem’s problem, the problem of how experimental evidence warrants revision of our theories. Deborah Mayo proposes a solution to Duhem’s problem in route to her more ambitious program of providing a philosophical account of inductive inference and experimental knowledge. This paper is a respo...

ing the cost (c(y − x) +K) from revenue, we obtain the total profit f(ξ, x) = r(ξ, y)− c(y − x) −K = 

We discuss the Arhangel’skĭı-Tall problem and related questions in models obtained by forcing with a coherent Souslin tree.

we present a collocation method to obtain the approximate solutionof troesch's problem which arises in the confinement of a plasmacolumn by radiation pressure and applied physics. by using thechristov rational functions and collocation points, this methodtransforms troesch's problem into a system of nonlinear algebraicequations. the rate of convergence is shown to be exponential. then...

The interpretation of the effect of predictors in projected normal regression models is not straight-forward. The main aim of this paper is to make this interpretation easier such that these models can be employed more readily by social scientific researchers. We introduce three new measures: the slope at the inflection point (bc ), average slope (AS) and slope at mean (SAM) that help us assess...

let $g$ be an infinite group and $nin {3‎, ‎6}cup{2^k| kin mathbb{n}}$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we prove that $g$ is an $n$-kappe group if and only if for any two infinite subsets $x$ and $y$ of $g$‎, ‎there exist $xin x$ and $yin y$ such that $[x^n‎, ‎y‎, ‎y]=1$‎.

We solve the isomorphism problem in the context of abstract algebraic logic and of π-institutions, namely the problem of when the notions of syntactic and semantic equivalence among logics coincide. The problem is solved in the general setting of categories of modules over quantaloids. We prove that these categories are strongly complete, strongly cocomplete, and (Epi,Mono)-structured. We prove...
