The possibility of an extrinsic origin for inertial reaction forces has recently seen increased attention in the physical literature. Among theories of extrinsic inertia, the two considered by the current work are (1) the hypothesis that inertia is a result of gravitational interactions, and (2) the hypothesis that inertial reaction forces arise from the interaction of material particles with l...

The tensor analyzing power T20 and the polarization transfer coefficients κ0(= 3 2 K y ) and K xz are investigated for dp backward elastic scattering by the invariant-amplitude method. Discrepancies between the conventional calculations and the experimental data on T20 and κ0 at high and intermediate energies are mostly dissolved by including imaginary parts in the amplitudes. The quantity K xz...

Abstract Reflection on the relationship between free will and consciousness has mainly revolved around Libet-style experiments, for example by criticizing claim that conscious intentions never cause what we do. Less attention been paid to whether this response captures sense in which is relevant will, however. In paper I argue scholars seem accept two assumptions they should reject: (1) best ch...

We respond to Ron Weber’s commentaries regarding the necessity of a theoretical core in achieving academic legitimacy for the IS field. We examine the practical problems in identifying a theoretical core, clarify the ontological connection between identity and legitimacy, acknowledge mistakes in our earlier formulation criticizing the necessity of theory in legitimation, and attempt a synthesis...

This chapter defines professional communication in intercultural contexts. It presents a workable model of culture, connects that model to rhetoric, and provides a method to analyze rhetorics and cultures in intercultural contexts. It also contextualizes the model of intercultural rhetorical research in prevailing paradigms of rhetoric and professional communication, strongly criticizing the lo...
