CAN THE DIPTERA BE CONSIDERED THE HIGHEST INSECTS?

Can Male Fertility Be Improved Prior to Assisted Reproduction through The Control of Uncommonly Considered Factors?

A Slightly Dorsally Tilted Lunate on MRI can be Considered Normal

  Background: Abnormal angulation of the lunate can be an indication of intercarpal pathology. On magnetic resonance images (MRIs) the lunate often looks dorsally angulated, even in healthy wrists. The tilt on individual slices can also be different and might be misinterpreted as pathological, contributing to inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary surgery. The primary aim of this study was to det...

Can constructed action be considered obligatory?

A communicative device that a signer can take advantage of in the visual–gestural modality is the use of the signer’s body to depict the actions and movements of an object—whether that object be animate or inanimate. This communicative device (referred to within this abstract as becoming the object) is used frequently in signed narratives, but it also appears in other genres of signing. Whether...

Can the Decoherent Histories Description of Reality be Considered Satisfactory?

In this letter, we discuss some features of the Decoherent Histories approach; more specifically, we put forward four assumptions, the first three of which, according to us, are necessary for a sound interpretation of the theory, while the fourth one is accepted by the supporters of the DH approach. We then prove that such assumptions lead to a logical contradiction and thus cannot hold simulta...

Can the Lorenz-gauge potentials be considered physical quantities?

Two results support the idea that the scalar and vector potentials in the Lorenz gauge can be considered to be physical quantities: (i) they separately satisfy the properties of causality and propagation at the speed of light and do not imply spurious terms and (ii) they can naturally be written in a manifestly covariant form. In this paper we introduce expressions for the Lorenz-gauge potentia...
