Iron-cemented layers in putting green soils

Two-tiered putting green profiles feature a sand root zone that sits above a layer of gravel, creating a textural boundary where water is perched or preferentially retained (6). The greater the difference in particle sizes, the more water is retained in the fine-textured layer above (8). Hard, brittle, cemented layers have been observed to form at textural boundaries in two-tiered putting green...

Weak and Global Supervenience: Functional Bark and Metaphysical Bite?

Weak and global supervenience are equivalent to strong supervenience for intrinsic properties. Moreover, weak and global supervenience relations are always mere parts of a more general underlying strong supervenience relation. Most appeals to global supervenience, though, involve spatio-temporally relational properties; but here too, global and strong supervenience are equivalent. Functionally ...

Putting Hierarchy in Its Place

Putting Opacity in its Place

We clarify the relationships between Guerraoui and Kapalka’s opacity correctness condition for Transactional Memory (TM) algorithms and the TMS1 and TMS2 conditions we have previously proposed. Using formal, machine checked simulation proofs constructed using the PVS theorem proving system, we have shown that all algorithms that satisfy opacity also satisfy TMS1, and that all algorithms that sa...
