Abstract Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors, which are often discovered by routine radiographic images or after taking films to determine the main cause of the tooth failure eruption or malocclusion.

In this paper we study the notion of group knowledge in a modal epistemic context. Starting with the standard de nition of this kind of knowledge on Kripke models, we show that this de nition gives rise to some quite counter-intuitive behaviour. Firstly, using a strong notion of derivability, we show that group knowledge in a state can always, but trivially be derived from each of the agents' i...

Over a century ago, the psychologist William James proposed a thought experiment, and suggested the answer: if the eyes were forced to connect to the auditory centres of the brain, and the ears with the visual centres, we would “hear the lightning and see the thunder” [1]. James’ point was that the perceptual qualities of our sensations — what philosophers term qualia — have their origin in the...
