1 Technicalities I started studying at Glasgow University in October of 1997, initially with Simon Peyton Jones as my supervisor. However, due to Simon's large number of research students, and diierences between my interests and his, we decided that I should look, at least tentatively, for a new supervisor. After talking to various people, I agreed to work with John O'Donnell, although Simon wo...

Prominent in recent discussions of East Asian writing systems has been a metadiscursive polemic that can be labeled the Critique of the Ideographic Myth. Associated primarily with John DeFrancis and J. Marshall Unger, this is an attack on the notion that the Chinese writing system represents ideas directly, and more broadly an argument for the primacy of phonography in inscription in general. T...

Glucagon, the fraction responsible for the hyperglycaemia, was isolated by Collens and Murlin in 1929. However, it was not until the 1950's, following the introduction of new electrophoretic and chromatographic techniques that glucagon was obtained in sufficiently pure form to allow chemical characterization (Staub, Sinn and Behrens, 1953). Porcine glucagon was shown to be a single chain polype...

1. The National Institute of Statistical Sciences has recently assembled a team of statistical researchers from multiple universities who, working with statisticians in U.S. statistical agencies, are developing a Webbased query system for statistical databases. Their goal is a system that allows the use of disclosure limitation methods (e.g., see Willenborg and de Waal 1996; 2000) applied seque...

The knowledge account of assertion (KA) says you may assert Q only if you know Q. Many objections have been raised against KA (e.g. Weiner 2005, Douven 2006, Lackey 2007, Hill and Schechter 2007, Levin 2008, Kvanvig 2009, and Brown forthcoming). Here I’ll focus on one objection in particular, and offer a response. A major part of the case for KA is an explanatory argument from conversational pa...
