Necessarily, salt dissolves in water

In this paper I aim to show that a certain law of nature, namely that common salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water, is metaphysically necessary. The importance of this result is that it conflicts with a widely shared intuition that the laws of nature (most if not all) are contingent. There have been debates over whether some laws, such as Newton’s second law, might be definitional of their ...

Deformed Cross - Dissolves for Image

Deformed cross-dissolves are methods for inconspicuous interpolation between images. We describe algorithms for deformation based on scattered data interpolation methods and an improved cross-dissolve algorithm ooering better performance than a normal bidirectional cross-dissolve. Results for interpolation in the eld of medical visualization are presented.

Latent cellular oncogenes: the paradox dissolves.

The 20 known transforming onc genes of retroviruses are defined by sequences which are transduced from cellular genes, termed proto-onc genes. Based on these sequences, viral onc genes have been postulated to be transduced cellular cancer genes and proto-onc genes have been postulated to be latent cancer genes that can be activated from within the cell, to cause virus-negative tumours. The hypo...

Treatment of sexual trauma dissolves contamination fear: case report

BACKGROUND In patients with co-morbid obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), repetitive behavior patterns, rituals, and compulsions may ward off anxiety and often function as a coping strategy to control reminders of traumatic events. Therefore, addressing the traumatic event may be crucial for successful treatment of these symptoms. OBJECTIVE In this ca...
