In this paper we describe two approaches to the revision of probability functions. We assume that a probabilistic state of belief is captured by a counterfactual probability or Popper function, the revision of which determines a new Popper function. We describe methods whereby the original function determines the nature of the revised function. The rst is based on a probabilistic extension of S...

Doped BaSnO3 has arisen many interests recently as one of the promising transparent conducting oxides for future applications. Understanding the microstructural characteristics are crucial for the exploration of relevant devices. In this paper, we investigated the microstructural features of 0.001% La doped BaSnO3 thin film using both conventional and aberration corrected transmission electron ...

Elementary results concerning the connections between deductive relations and probabilistic support are given. These are used to show that Popper-Miller's result is a special case of a more general result, and that their result is not \very unexpected" as claimed. According to Popper-Miller, a purely inductively supports b only if they are \deductively independent"|but this means that :a ` b. H...

Thomas Kuhn [4] has presented a view of the history of science as a succession of “paradigms” which are not completely comparable with each other. Karl Popper [8] has attacked this view as being relativistic and denying that there is objective scientific truth. Popper seems to be saying that in order for science to be objectively true, every two scientific theories must be completely comparable...

I propose to begin my paper on the logic of the social sciences with two theses which formulate the opposition between our knowledge and our ignorance. First thesis: We know a great deal. And we know not only many details of doubtful intellectual interest but also things which are of considerable practical significance and, what is even more important, which provide us with deep theoretical ins...
