hilary putnam and John McDowell have each argued against representational realist theories of perception and in favor of direct realist (or “common-sense realist”) alternatives. i claim that in both cases they beg the question against their representational realist opponents. Moreover, in neither case has any alternative been offered to the representational realist position where the solution t...

In this paper we introduce a new spatio-temporal methodology for biosurveillance entitled the Repeated Two-sample Rank (RTR) procedure. It is designed to sequentially incorporate information from individual observations and thus can operate on data in real-time as it arrives into an automated biosurveillance system. In addition, upon a signal of a possible outbreak, the methodology suggests a w...

Abstract With the publication of Husserliana series and Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe both nearing completion, a strikingly different picture their work than was available to earlier generations is emerging. It has become quite clear that phenomenological philosophy not fixed “system” but an ongoing philosophical practice much contribute debates in contemporary generally. would be impossible here c...

Résumé thinking, therefore, demonstrates that there is no logically coherent basis for the invention/ convention distinction that is all too often used to support the traditional belief that a musicologist’s sole task is merely the second-level analytical interpretation of musical compositions already so inventively brought into being by artists. This is an attitude that neatly excludes musicol...

A transcendental number is one that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having integer coefficients. It immediately follows that no rational number q is transcendental, since q can be written as a/b where a and b are integers, and thus q is a root of bx − a. Furthermore, the transcendentals are a proper subset of the irrationals, since for example the irrational √ 2 is a root of x − 2. T...

Cloud computing adoption and utilization is gaining prominence in most developing countries. Its influenced by several factors, which can constitute a limitation rather than an advantage for firms. This research, therefore, explored the issues surrounding of cloud small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) economy. An SME operating Ghana over five years was purposively selected as case study. Techno...

α is algebraic if there exists p ∈ Z[x], p 6= 0 with p(α) = 0, otherwise α is called transcendental . Cantor: Algebraic numbers are countable, so transcendental numbers exist, and are a measure 1 set in [0, 1], but it is hard to prove transcendence for any particular number. Examples of (proported) transcendental numbers: e, π, γ, e, √ 2 √ 2 , ζ(3), ζ(5) . . . Know: e, π, e, √ 2 √ 2 are transce...

Longitudinal reductions in biological age were observed in participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme. Over an eighteen-month period, average biological age decreased from 7.5 years younger than chronological age to 10.6 years younger. Duration of practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme was correlated with the degree to which both biological an...

In this paper I attempt to show how Moore’s early emancipation from Bradley’s absolute idealism presupposes a fundamental adherence certain theses of itself. particular, argue that the idea an immediate epistemic access concepts and propositions Moore endorses in his platonic atomism (Hylton) is reworking form realism already present Bradley. Epistemic conjunction two theses: i) reality indepen...
