Logic of Convex Order
Based on a (total) pre-order on a set, we axiomatize the Egli-Milner order on the power set and show how it is related to the Lewis order. Moreover,...

Visions of In Vitro Meat among Experts and Stakeholders
In vitro meat (IVM) is presented by innovators as the most realistic and sustainable solution to the problems of current meat production and...

Ception and the Discrepancy Between Vision and Language
This chapter deals with the sensory perception of visionVision and investigates the correlation between body, mind, and language in a corpus of...

The Ontological Destruction of the Schematism
In this chapter Frangeskou provides a detailed account of Heidegger’s ontological interpretation of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason as a laying of the...

Develo** civic-mindedness in undergraduate business students through service-learning projects for civic engagement and service leadership practices for civic improvement
Projects that challenge students to practice service leadership for civic improvement can address the aim of develo** civic-mindedness in...

Corporate Scandals and Capital Structure
We analyze whether companies involved in a security class action suit (SCAS) exhibit differential capital structure decisions, and if the information...

Corporate Scandals and Capital Structure
We analyze whether companies involved in a security class action suit (SCAS) exhibit differential capital structure decisions, and if the information...

Conclusion
Now that my analyses of the semantics and pragmatics of proper names, indexicals, demonstratives simple and complex and definite descriptions are in...
-
Definite Descriptions
In this chapter we turn from expressions such as proper names and indexicals which have standardly been thought of as referential to those...
-
Proper Names
In this chapter, I want to embark on the project of applying the theoretical machinery presented in the previous chapter to an analysis of the...

Ethics and Disclosure: A Study of the Financial Performance of Firms in the Seasoned Equity Offerings Market
In this article, we examine the association between ethics and disclosure and the impact of this association on the long-term, post-issue performance...

The Agency Problems Embedded in Firm’s Equity Investment
We find that agency problems are embedded in firm’s excess and abnormal equity investments that are mainly dictated by controlling shareholder’s...

The Founder and Allee Effects in the Patch Occupancy Metapopulation Model
The problem of ever-increasing habitat fragmentation due to human land use calls for a theoretical framework to study the potential dangers and to...

Parametric Scaling from Species Relative Abundances to Absolute Abundances in the Computation of Biological Diversity: A First Proposal Using Shannon's Entropy
Traditional diversity measures such as the Shannon entropy are generally computed from the species' relative abundance vector of a given community to...

Electrochemical Potentials and Pressures of Biofluids from Common Experimental Data
Many biosystems are complex mixtures of disparate biofluids. To study contact and transport phenomena in these mixtures, one has to apply much...

A Simple Geometrical Pattern for the Branching Distribution of the Bronchial Tree, Useful to Estimate Optimality Departures
The design of the bronchial tree has largely been proposed as a model of optimal design from a physical-functional perspective. However, the...

The Fractal Dimension as a Measure of the Quality of Habitats
Habitat fragmentation produces isolated patches characterized by increased edge effects from an originally continuous habitat. The shapes of these...
-
Additive Partition of Parametric Information and Its Associated β-Diversity Measure
A desirable property of a diversity index is strict concavity. This implies that the pooled diversity of a given community sample is greater than or...

A Large-Scale Comparison of Genomic Sequences: One Promising Approach
We introduce a novel, linguistic-like method of genome analysis. We propose a natural approach to characterizing genomic sequences based on...

Theoretical Evidence that More Microtubules Reach the Cortex at the Pole than at the Equator During Anaphase in Sea Urchin Eggs
Astral microtubules are rapidly elongated during anaphase and telophase in sea urchin eggs. The number of microtubules extending to the cell surface...
