Theories of cognition that posit complementary dual-route processes afford better fits to the data when each route explains a part of the data not explained by the other route. However, such theories must also explain why each route is invoked, lest one can fit any data set with enough alternatives. One possible explanation is that route selection is based on a least-cost principle: the route t...

Although populists in government have already frustrated the common interest projects, curbed institutional progress, and questioned fundamental values of European Union, integration theories so far failed to address question: what explains populist governments’ actions within EU? This article claims that existing accounts either downplay relevance or fail grasp complexity governments, because ...

The US fertility transition in the nineteenth century is unusual. Not only did it start from a very high level and early nation’s development, but also took place long before mortality transition, industrialization, urbanization. This paper assembles new county-level, household-level, individual-level data, including complete-count IPUMS microdata databases of 1830–1880 censuses, to evaluate di...

According to realists, theories are successful because they true, but according selectionists, have gone through a rigorous selection process. Wray claims that the realist and selectionist explanations rivals each other. Lee objects instead complementary In my view, Lee’s objection presupposes explanation is thus it begs question against selectionists. By contrast, invokes scientific theory, no...

From 2000 to 2004, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) accepted 1 171 applications and funded 160 projects for fundamental research on integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The success rate is 13.64%. Being supported by NSFC, a number of achievements well known in China and abroad have been made, such as acupuncture complementary anaesthesia, treatment of leuk...

In this thesis we investigate several problems which have their roots in both topological string theory and enumerative geometry. In the former case, underlying theories are topological field theories, whereas the latter case is concerned with intersection theories on moduli spaces. A permeating theme in this thesis is to examine the close interplay between these two complementary fields of stu...

conclusions regarding the significant effect of cinnamon on reduction of pain, menstrual bleeding, nausea and vomiting with primary dysmenorrhea without side effects, it can be regarded as a safe and effective treatment for dysmenorrhea in young women. results the mean amount of menstrual bleeding in the cinnamon group was significantly lower than the placebo group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, resp...

1 Preface The present notes cover a series of three lectures on the quantum Hall effect given at the Singapore session " Ultracold Gases and Quantum Information " at Les Houches Summer School 2009. Almost 30 years after the discovery of the quantum Hall effect, the research subject of quantum Hall physics has certainly acquired a certain degree of maturity that is reflected by a certain number ...
