Abstract It has been argued that much of contemporary epistemology can be unified under Carnap’s methodology explication, which originated in the neighboring field philosophy science. However, it is unclear to what extent epistemological theories emphasize explanatory role knowledge fit into this picture, Kornblith’s natural kind and Williamson’s first approach being cases point. In connection,...

Hair cells of the inner ear exhibit an active process, believed to be crucial for achieving the sensitivity of auditory and vestibular detection. One of the manifestations of the active process is the occurrence of spontaneous hair bundle oscillations in vitro. Hair bundles are coupled by overlying membranes in vivo; hence, explaining the potential role of innate bundle motility in the generati...

We analyze the relation between comprehensive measures of board quality and the cost as well as the non-price terms of bank loans. We show that firms with higher quality boards and even a single (non-insider) advisory board member borrow at lower interest rates. This relation exists even after controlling for ownership structure, CEO compensation policy, and shareholder protection as well as th...

Abstract While SARS-CoV-2 is causing modern human history’s most serious health crisis and upending our way of life, clinical basic research on the virus advancing rapidly, leading to fascinating discoveries. Two studies have revealed how viral virulence factor, nonstructural protein 1 (Nsp1), binds ribosomes inhibit host cell translation. Here, we examine main conclusions molecular activity Ns...

This study investigates young children’s perspectives in explaining a selfregulating mobile robot, as they learn to program its behaviors from rules. We explore their descriptions of a robot in action to determine the nature of their explanatory frameworks: psychological or technological. We have also studied the role of an adult’s intervention in their reasoning. The study was conducted indivi...

The results of the factor analysis show that a five factor model is appropriate for explaining the returns generation process in India. The explanatory power of this five factor model is significantly better ...
