Beckers & Vennekens recently proposed a definition of actual causation that is based on certain plausible principles, thereby allowing the debate to shift away from its heavy focus examples towards more systematic analysis. This paper contributes analysis in two ways. First, I show their fact formalization Wright’s famous NESS combined with counterfactual difference-making condition. means ...

The alleged for-me-ness or mineness of conscious experience has been the topic of considerable debate in recent phenomenology and philosophy of mind. By considering a series of objections to the notion of for-me-ness, or to a properly robust construal of it, this paper attempts to clarify to what the notion is committed and to what it is not committed. This exercise results in the emergence of ...

We propose a gaze-based indicator of students’ attention in a MOOC video lecture. We report the results from an eye-tracking study during a MOOC lecture. We define the gazebased indicator of students’ attention as “with-me-ness”. This answers a question from teachers’ perspective “how much are the students with me?” With-me-ness is defined at two levels: perceptual, following teacher’s deictic ...

In the theory of algebraic group actions on affine varieties, the concept of a Kempf–Ness set is used to replace the geometric quotient by the quotient with respect to a maximal compact subgroup. By making use of the recent achievements of “toric topology” we show that an appropriate notion of a Kempf–Ness set exists for a class of algebraic torus actions on quasiaffine varieties (coordinate su...

Nonlinear equations systems (NESs) arise in a wide range of domains. Solving NESs requires the algorithm to locate multiple roots simultaneously. To deal with efficiently, this study presents an enhanced reinforcement learning based differential evolution following major characteristics: (1) design state function uses information on fitness alternation action; (2) different neighborhood sizes a...

The purpose of the current study was to examine frequently used boosters in academic articles written by Native (NESs) and Non-native (NNESs) Speakers English (Turkish researchers) field Language Teaching. Investigating whether differences exist use these markers between NESs NNESs’ another aim study. Within this purpose, data collected from one hundred (NESs= 50, NNESs= 50 articles) published ...

Nonequilibrium stationary states (NESS) describe the state of a mechanical system driven and maintained out of equilibrium by external forces. The external forces can be mechanical or thermodynamical. Examples of mechanical forces are external non-Hamiltonian forces imposed on the system or boundary forcing for example in a shear flow. Thermodynamical forces occur when a system is coupled to se...

CRM1 exports proteins that carry a short leucine-rich peptide signal, the nuclear export signal (NES), from the nucleus. Regular NESs must have low affinity for CRM1 to function optimally. We previously generated artificial NESs with higher affinities for CRM1, termed supraphysiological NESs. Here we identify a supraphysiological NES in an endogenous protein, the NS2 protein of parvovirus Minut...
