The critical commentary by Reimers et al. [1] regarding the Penrose–Hameroff theory of ‘orchestrated objective reduction’ (‘Orch OR’) is largely uninformed and basically incorrect, as they solely criticize non-existent features of Orch OR, and ignore (1) actual Orch OR features, (2) supportive evidence, and (3) previous answers to their objections (Section 5.6 in our review [2]). Here we respon...

Three basic postulates for Quantum Theory are proposed, namely the Probability, Maximum-Speed and Hilbert-Space postulates. Subsequently we show how these postulates give rise to well-known and widely used quantum results, as the probability rule and the linearity of quantum evolution. The suggested postulates also enables us to criticize EPR elements of reality under the Special Relativity phi...

Faith et al. (2003) strongly criticize our paper (Posadas et al. 2001). Their criticisms are based on what they consider our “ill definitions” and “erroneous applications” of the words complementarity, endemism, and biodiversity. The objectives of our reply to Faith et al. are to demonstrate that their criticisms do not satisfy epistemological and methodological tenets and to compare some aspec...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Isobarictags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) -based proteomics for the investigation of the effect of HuganQingzhi on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats" (Yao et al., 2017) [1]. This article describes the effect of HuganQingzhi on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats at the level of the p...

One central purpose of Experimental Philosophy (hereafter, x-phi) is to criticize the alleged reliance on intuitions in contemporary philosophy. In my book Philosophy without Intuitions (hereafter, PWI), I argue that philosophers don’t rely on intuitions. If those arguments are good, experimental philosophy has been engaged in an attack on a strawman. The goal of this paper is to bolster the cr...

We propose to simulate the Information Systems of Smart Grids to validate / criticize the modeling choices of domain experts. We propose a viewpoint based approach regarding two aspects : information and dynamics. We add an integration viewpoint to maintain consistency and we use Model Driven Engineering techniques. Finally, we experience our approach on a Smart Grid use case. MOTS-CLÉS : Simul...

In this paper we propose a formal dialogue game in which two players aim to determine the best explanation for a set of observations. By assuming an adversarial setting, we force the players to advance and improve their own explanations as well as criticize their opponent’s explanations, thus hopefully preventing the well-known problem of ‘tunnel vision’. A main novelty of our approach is that ...

A recent trend in Black German theatre engages with fantasy and posthumanism to criticize racism nationalism. In Krieg der Hörnchen (War of the Squirrels), Simone Dede Ayivi combines postnationalism, using fears invasive gray squirrels taking over habitat native red reimagine xenophobic racist debates about migration.
