The Argument for Subject-Body Dualism from Transtemporal Identity

In recent papers, Martine Nida-Rümelin (NR) has argued for a position she calls subject-body dualism on the basis of three distinct arguments. One is based on reflection on the emergence of phenomenal consciousness (Nida-Rümelin 2010b). One is based on reflection on our treatment of conscious subjects as active (Nida-Rümelin 2006). One is based on reflection on intelligible possibilities of tra...

Intrinsic phenomenal properties in color vision science: a reply to Peter Ross.

(1) I agree with Ross’s (1999), central claim: Color vision scientists implicitly accept a certain supervenience thesis of phenomenal properties of visual experience on internally individuated physiological properties of the visual system (I shall come back to the question of how the supervenience claim at issue should be spelled out in detail). He correctly points out that one of the premises ...

Phase Inversion in a Batch Liquid – Liquid Stirred System

"> Phase inversion phenomenon occurs in many industrial processes including liquidliquid dispersions. Some parameters such as energy input or the presence of mineral compounds in the system affect this phen...

Large-scale Inversion of Magnetic Data Using Golub-Kahan Bidiagonalization with Truncated Generalized Cross Validation for Regularization Parameter Estimation

In this paper a fast method for large-scale sparse inversion of magnetic data is considered. The L1-norm stabilizer is used to generate models with sharp and distinct interfaces. To deal with the non-linearity introduced by the L1-norm, a model-space iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm is used. The original model matrix is factorized using the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization that proje...
