We will call such adjuncts instances of the X or no X construction It was suggested in the middle 1980s by Alexis Manaster-Ramer that well-formed instances of X or no X involve a string X of unbounded length preceding or no, with an exact copy following (for a brief allusion to it in print, see Manaster-Ramer 1986). This claim has received hardly any discussion at all in the subsequent literatu...
متن کاملThe No Alternatives Argument
Scientific theories are hard to find, and once scientists have found a theory H, they often believe that there are not many distinct alternatives to H. But is this belief justified? What should scientists believe about the number of alternatives to H, and how should they change these beliefs in the light of new evidence? These are some of the questions that we will address in this paper. We als...

The goal of the paper is to clarify and to sharpen the NMA by means of a probabilistic formalization. In particular, I demonstrate that the persuasive force of the NMA depends on the particular disciplinary context where it is applied, and the stabili...

متن کاملRobust Software - No More Excuses
Software developers identify two main reasons why software systems are not made robust: performance and practicality. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of general techniques to improve robustness that are practical and yield high performance. We present data from treating three systems to improve robustness by a factor of 5 or more, with a measured performance penalty of under 5% in near...
