Hempel offers a precise, logical reconstruction of Nicod’s naïve instantial account. There are several peculiar features of Hempel’s reconstruction of Nicod. I will focus presently on two such features. First, Hempel’s reconstruction is completely non-probabilistic (we’ll return to that unfortunate decision on Hempel’s part later). Second, Hempel’s reconstruction takes the relata of Nicod’s con...

[1] The development of topography within and erosional removal of material from an orogen exerts a primary control on its structure. We develop a model that describes the temporal development of a frontally accreting, critically growing Coulomb wedge whose topography is largely limited by bedrock fluvial incision. We present general results for arbitrary initial critical wedge geometries and in...

BACKGROUND Controversy exists over whether or not single-needle liver biopsies are sufficient to compare histological parameters in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. AIMS To identify sampling variability, we biopsied four liver specimens per patient, based on biopsy size (needle vs wedge) and location (left vs right lobe), immediately prior to bariatric Roux-en-Y gastric bypass...

The previously developed algebraic lightfront holography is used in conjunction with the tensor splitting of the chiral theory on the causal horizon. In this way a universal area law for the entanglement entropy of the vacuum relative to the split (tensor factorized) vacuum is obtained. The universality of the area law is a result of the kinematical structure of the properly defined lightfront ...

The left ventricular (LV) coronary-perfused canine wedge preparation is a model commonly used for studying cardiac repolarization. In wedge studies, transmembrane potentials typically are recorded; whereas, extracellular electrical recordings are commonly used in intact hearts. We compared electrically measured activation recovery interval (ARI) patterns in the intact heart with those recorded ...

In this paper, the two reconstruction methods, light-cone cuts method and hole-ography, are combined to provide complete bulk metrics of locally AdS$_3$ static spacetimes. As examples, our is applied geometries pure AdS$_3$, soliton, BTZ black hole, we see them successfully reconstructed. The known have difficulty in obtaining conformal factors, while hole-ography describing temporal components...
