In Beebe (2011), I argued against the widespread reluctance of philosophers to treat skeptical challenges to our a priori knowledge of necessary truths with the same seriousness as skeptical challenges to our a posteriori knowledge of contingent truths. Vahid (2013) offers several reasons for thinking the unequal treatment of these two kinds of skepticism is justified, one of which is a priori ...

Karakılçık (KK) is a landrace, of which both bread and durum wheat forms exist. This the first study that reports mutation induction detection with agronomic traits allele specific markers on KK landrace. In study, landrace was induced chemical using sodium azide (NaN3) (3 mM) mutagen to improve traits. research, genotype 13 M4 individuals (KK-1 KK-13) were used as plant materials. According re...

In this paper, we study theoretically a pump–probe model for the Kramers–Kronig (KK) relations during laser operation. A solution of laser equations reveals that the dispersion profile of a saturated laser gain medium is non-analytical at the boundary between the lasing and the non-lasing spectral region. Such a non-analyticity cannot be explained in terms of the KK relations. In order to inter...

Epistemic transparency tells us that, if an agent S knows a given proposition p, then S knows that she knows that p. This idea is usually encoded in the socalled KK principle of epistemic logic. The paper develops an argument in favor of a moderate version of KK, which I dub quasi-transparency, as a normative rather than a descriptive principle. In the second Section I put forward the suggestio...

We develop a finite KK-theory of C∗-algebras following ArlettazH.Inassaridze’s approach to finite algebraic K-theory [1] . The BrowderKaroubi-Lambre’s theorem on the orders of the elements for finite algebraic K-theory [ , ] is extended to finite KK-theory. A new bivariant theory, called torsion KK-theory is defined as the direct limit of finite KK-theories. Such bivariant K-theory has almost a...

In Universal Extra Dimension models, the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle is generically the first KK excitation of the photon and can be stable, serving as particle dark matter. We calculate the thermal relic abundance of the KK photon for a general mass spectrum of KK excitations including full coannihilation effects with all (level one) KK excitations. We find that including coannihilatio...

In [6] Higson showed that the formal properties of the Kasparov KK -theory groups are best understood if one regards KK (A, B) for separable C∗-algebras A, B as the morphism set of a category KK . In category language the composition and exterior KK product give KK the structure of a symmetric monoidal category which is enriched over abelian groups. We show that the enrichment of KK can be lift...

Among bovine rotavirus strains, there are three G serotypes (G6, G8, and G10) and three P (VP4) serotypes (PB1, PB2, and PB3, which are defined on the basis of strains NCDV, UK, and B223, respectively). Plaque reduction neutralization assays with hyperimmune antisera disclosed two-way antigenic relationships of strain KN-4 with strain KK-3 (G10, PB3) as well as with strains NCDV (G6, PB1) and 0...

The diagnosis of Schistosoma japonicum (Sj) infection in low prevalence areas of the People's Republic of China is challenging due to the sensitivity of the detection methods, leading to an underestimation of the disease burden. We compared the sensitivities of the miracidium hatching test (MHT) with the modified Kato-Katz method (KK) and the combination of the two methods (KK-MHT) to detect Sj...
