An assessment of the similarities and differences between space and time has played an important part in the development of the views of a number of philosophers about time. Examples of statements about time are compared with allegedly corresponding statements about space to give us analogies and disanalogies according to whether the statements have the same or different truth values. But now w...

Discussions of aposematism traditionally have focused on the visual displays of prey that denote unpalatability or toxicity to predators. However, the construct of aposematism accommodates a spectrum of unprofitable traits signaled through various sensory modalities, including contact and distance chemoreception. Aposematism, involving learned aversions by signal receivers or selection for thei...

The problem is to identify a probability associated with a set of natural numbers, given an infinite data sequence of elements from the set. If the given sequence is drawn i.i.d. and the probability mass function involved (the target) belongs to a computably enumerable (c.e.) or co-computably enumerable (co-c.e.) set of computable probability mass functions, then there is an algorithm to almost...

The study reported in this article aims at empirically testing a theoretical model of collaborative knowledge building with wikis which was recently introduced by Cress and Kimmerle (2007; in press). This model assumes that individual learning and collaborative knowledge building are based on the interplay between people’s knowledge and the information available in the wiki. This interplay take...

This chapter describes, following the historical development, the investigation of large cardinal hypotheses using the method of forcing. Large cardinal hypotheses, also regarded as strong axioms of infinity, have stimulated a vast mainstream of modern set theory, and William Mitchell’s chapter in this volume deals with their investigation through inner models, Menachem Kojman’s chapter with th...

What are the outcomes for the poor of Vietnam’s public safety net? Although centrally mandated, social welfare programs are locally implemented according to local norms and local poverty standards, and are often heavily reliant on local financing. This paper examines the coverage, incidence and horizontal equity of the programs that can be identified in the VNLSS data. The paper looks at the ro...
