Abstract The Cartesian thesis that some justifications are infallible faces a gradation puzzle. On the one hand, justification tolerates absolutely no possibility for error. other can vary in evidential force: e.g. two persons both be regarding their pains while with stronger pain is nevertheless more justified. However, if type of gradable strength, why it always absolute? This paper explores ...

The nature of this pamphlet is abundantly evident from its title. The information necessary for its compilation has been drawn chiefly from the Medical Register, Churchill's Directory, and the Bengal Quarterly Army List. As it contains, in a compact form, a considerable amount of personal information regarding the Officers of the Bengal Medical Service, it ought to commend itself to the individ...

This paper evaluates the different AREMA gradations currently in use for their effects on both ballast void space and load carrying performances using a discrete particle analysis computational technique called Discrete Element Modeling (DEM). The effect of gradation on aggregate assembly volumetric properties was first studied. Full-scale ballast layers with common gradations listed in AREMA s...

This paper presents a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) approach for investigating dynamic crack propagation in homogeneous and Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). The failure criterion is incorporated in the CZM using both a finite cohesive strength and work to fracture in the material description. A novel CZM for FGMs is explored and incorporated into a finite element framework. The material gradat...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate collateral circulation by describing anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery perfusion areas. Pairs of image sets spin labeled on the medial and lateral side were used. A pixel-by-pixel t test was performed, with blue gradation used to display lateral perfusion (ie, middle cerebral artery) and orange gradation for anterior cerebral artery pe...

one of the consequences of accepting personal unity of existence as well as the philosophical rule of “al-wahid” is wujud-e munbasit (the extended existence). sayyid haydar amuli explains origination of multiplicity from the one on the basis of wujud-e munbasit. according to him the first emanation from being is universal and extendedand contains all degrees of contingent world. by depicting of...

background and objective: the quality of flat breads depends in part on the textural and structural properties of breads during storage. these properties are largely affected by flour quality. this research aimed at evaluating textural and structural properties of lavash bread types during storage by different techniques, comparing these methods and determination of correlation between their re...

Marshall Test design methods are used to design TLA modified asphalt mixture and base asphalt mixture respectively, and their pavement performance is tested. The results showed that there is a transforming coefficient of 1.15 between OAC of 40% TLA modified asphalt mixture and that of base asphalt mixture, and ultimate gradation of the TLA modified asphalt mixture is finer than previous gradati...
