The Cap Dualism-Efficiency or Competition

Substance Dualism or Eliminativism

Physicalism (P) entails minimal physicalism (MP), MP entails minimal supervenience (MS), and MS is the thesis that there is covariance between the supervenient and the subvenient stuff. Therefore, if the (alleged) supervenient and subvenient stuff do not covary, then MS is false, and if MS is false then MP is false, and if MP is false then P is false. Put differently: if MS is false then P is f...

Competition in Healthcare: Good, Bad or Ugly?

The role of competition in healthcare is much debated. Despite a wealth of international experience in relation to competition, evidence is mixed and contested and the debate about the potential role for competition is often polarised. This paper considers briefly some of the reasons for this, focusing on what is meant by “competition in healthcare” and why it is more valuable to think about th...

The interface between EU competition policy and the CAP

Translational Repression by Bicoid Competition for the Cap

Eggs and embryos have proven to be fertile grounds for discovery and characterization of a variety of mechanisms used in posttranscriptional control of gene expression, mechanisms that are central to embryonic patterning and development. In this issue of Cell, solve a puzzle surrounding the action of the Drosophila Bicoid morphogen in formation of the Caudal protein gradient and in doing so des...

Nuclear waste vitrification efficiency: Cold cap reactions

a r t i c l e i n f o Batch melting takes place within the cold cap, i.e., a batch layer floating on the surface of molten glass in a glass-melting furnace. The conversion of batch to glass consists of various chemical reactions, phase transitions , and diffusion-controlled processes. This study introduces a one-dimensional (1D) mathematical model of the cold cap that describes the batch-to-gla...
