Van Fraassen explains rejections and asymmetries in science terms of his contextual theory explanation the same way that scientists explain observable phenomena world scientific theories. I object van Fraassen’s skeptical view regarding inference to best together with English rationality jointly imply is not rationally compelling, so epistemic colleagues can disbelieve it. Prasetya replies trut...

We have studied inkjet-printed drops of a conductive polymer. We show how varying drop spacing and temperature lead to several different printed line morphologies and offer a simple geometric explanation for these various forms. Also, by controlling the evaporation profile of drying drops and lines, we demonstrate control of the coffee ring effect by which solute is transferred to the rim. Unde...

Interstitial N diffusion under low energy (approximately 700 eV) Ar+ bombardment at 673 K in ion beam nitrided austenitic stainless steel is investigated. Ar+ ion bombardment increases the N mobility in depths far beyond the ion penetration depth, resulting in an increased broadening of the N depth profile as a function of Ar+ flux. This effect cannot be explained by any established mechanism o...

In our case the clinical and temporal profile of the illness along with MRI findings were highly suggestive of TSP. Various treatment modalities like steroid, interferon-a, vitamin C, zidovudine, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, IVIg have been tried but results are largely disappointing.3 The absence of serological evidence of HTLV infection may be due to infection by other viruses, nutritional ...

A new explanation for the spectacular emission line variations occuring in the Be stars γ Cas and 59 Cyg is presented. We propose a circumstellar Keplerian disk, tilted with respect to the equatorial plane. The precessing nodal and apsidal line causes a variation in the emission line widths and profile shapes. In particular the sequence of alternating shellphases and narrow single-peak phases i...
