Recent work in philosophy of language has raised significant problems for the traditional theory of propositions, engendering serious skepticism about its general workability. These problems are, I believe, tied to fundamental misconceptions about how the theory should be developed. The goal of this paper is to show how to develop the traditional theory in a way which solves the problems and pu...

Church helped to develop and refine techniques with which to describe the complete sequence of all the DNA nucleotides in an organism's genome [4], techniques such as multiplex sequencing, polony sequencing, and nanopore sequencing. Church also contributed to the Hu...

Abs t rac t . An elementary "majorant-minorant method" to construct the most stringent Bonferroni-type inequalities is presented. These are essentially Chebyshev-type inequalities for discrete probability distributions on the set {0, 1 , . . . , n}, where n is the number of concerned events, and polynomials with specific properties on the set lead to the inequalities. All the known resuits are ...
