Understanding the distinction between impressions and ideas that Hume draws in the opening paragraphs of his A Treatise on Human Nature is essential for understanding much of Hume’s philosophy. This, however, is a task that has been the cause of a good deal of controversy in the literature on Hume. I here argue that the significant philosophical and exegetical issues previous treatments of this...

Basilar impression, sometimes spoken of as platybasia, is a deformity of the occipital bone and upper end of the cervical spine resulting from anomalous development. It may produce marked pressure effects upon the medulla and adjacent parts of the central nervous system. These pressure effects may simulate syringomyelia, disseminated sclerosis, or progressive spastic paralysis so closely as to ...

Organizational culture and values can impact every aspect of hospital operations.

In this paper, we suggest that the primary concern regarding privacy in collaborative work settings is “impression management”. We discuss a host of factors which influence privacy management in such settings. Finally, we offer some suggestions regarding how designers can empower users to manage their impression.

We previously reported the identification of human CAP, a protein that is related to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe adenylyl cyclase-associated CAP proteins. The two yeast CAP proteins have similar functions: the N-terminal domains are required for the normal function of adenylyl cyclase, while loss of the C-terminal domains result in morphological and nutritional de...

Self-deception and impression-management comprise two types of deceptive, but generally socially acceptable behaviours, which are common in everyday life as well as being present in a number of psychiatric disorders. We sought to establish and dissociate the 'normal' brain substrates of self-deception and impression-management. Twenty healthy participants underwent fMRI scanning at 3T whilst co...

The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate the drug-polymer interaction of mefenamic acid (MA) using two polymers with different characteristics as ethylcellulose (EC) and/or cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP). Microspheres were prepared by the modified emulsion solvent evaporation (MESE). The effect of drug-polymer interaction was studied for each of microspheres. Important param...
