In 1914 Lebesgue defined a ‘universal covering’ to be a convex subset of the plane that contains an isometric copy of any subset of diameter 1. His challenge of finding a universal covering with the least possible area has been addressed by various mathematicians: Pál, Sprague and Hansen have each created a smaller universal covering by removing regions from those known before. However, Hansen’...

Abstract The Experimental Philosophy (“X-Phi”) movement applies the methodology of empirical sciences – most commonly psychology to traditional philosophical questions. In its radical, “negative” form, X-Phi uses resulting data cast doubt on reliability common methods, arguing for radical reform methodology. this paper I develop two connected methodological worries about second enterprise. firs...

The UK construction industry at its best is excellent. Nonetheless there is a deep concern that the industry as a whole is underachieving. Problems such as low and unreliable profitability, a lack of research and development, a shortage of skills, usage of tender price evaluations, and a fragmented industry structure, are widely recognised by the industry. These problems must be tackled in orde...
