I Tensed the Laws and the Laws Won: Non-Eternalist Humeanism
In this paper, I propose a variant of a Humean account of laws called "Open Future Humeanism" (OFH), which holds that since the laws supervene partly on future events, there are at any instant infinitely many possible future courses of events. I argue that if one wants to take the openness of the future that OFH proposes ontologically serious, then OFH is best represented within a growing block...
متن کاملThe effect of new road traffic laws on fatal and non-fatal injury rates in Iran
Background and aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of enforcement of new traffic laws on the fatal and non- fatal injury rates in Iran. Methods: In a longitudinal, interventional controlled trial study, all subjects with history of fatal and non-fatal injuries were studied. Their injuries were caused by six risky violations (unauthorized speed, illegal overtaking, red traffic light c...
متن کاملViscous Conservation Laws, Part I: Scalar Laws
Viscous conservation laws are the basic models for the dissipative phenomena. We aim at a systematic presentation of the basic ideas for the quantitative study of the nonlinear waves for viscous conservation laws. The present paper concentrates on the scalar laws; an upcoming Part II will deal with the systems. The basic ideas for scalar viscous conservation laws originated from two sources: th...
متن کاملUltrametric Logarithm Laws I.
We announce ultrametric analogues of the results of Kleinbock-Margulis for shrinking target properties of semisimple group actions on symmetric spaces. The main applications are S-arithmetic Diophantine approximation results and logarithm laws for buildings, generalizing the work of Hersonsky-Paulin on trees.
متن کاملPower-laws and Non-Power-laws in Dark Matter Halos
Simulated dark matter profiles are often modelled as a ‘NFW’ density profile rather than a single power law. Recently, attention has turned to the rather rigorous power-law behaviour exhibited by the ‘pseudo phase-space density’ of the dark matter halo, which is defined dimensionally in terms of the local density and velocity dispersion of the dark matter particles. The non-power-law behaviour ...
