In this paper I discuss Pascal Engel’s recent work on doxastic correctness. I raise worries about two elements of his view the role played in it by the distinction between icorrectness and e-correctness, and the construal of doxastic correctness as an ideal of reason. I propose an alternative approach. It is a great privilege to contribute to this festschrift for Pascal Engel, and thereby pay a...

Standard approaches to measuring the welfare gains from variety take variety as exogenous to consumers. Empirically we observe an Engel curve for variety, with richer consumers purchasing a larger set of varieties than poor ones. I present a tractable model for analyzing the welfare gains from variety in the presence of this non-homotheticity. The model generates variety Engel curves through di...

An Engel structure is a maximally non-integrable field of two-planes tangent to a four-manifold. Any two Engel structures are locally diffeomorphic. We investigate the deformation space of Engel structures obtained by deforming certain canonical Engel structures on four-manifolds with boundary. When the manifold is RP 3 × I where I is a closed interval, we show that this deformation space conta...

The inter-rater reliability, expressed as kappa score, k, of the Engel and International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classifications of epilepsy surgery seizure outcome has not previously been evaluated. In a consecutive series of 76 patients (40 male; 25 children), 75 undergoing resective and 1 disconnective surgery at a mean age of 27.5 years (13 months-62 years), one observer classified 8...

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, d a nonzero derivation of R, and I a nonzero right ideal of R such that [[d(x), x], [d(y), y]] = 0, for all x, y ∈ I. We prove that if [I, I]I ≠ 0, then d(I)I = 0. 1. Introduction. Let R be a prime ring and d a nonzero derivation of R. Define [x, y] 1 = [x, y] = xy − yx, then an Engel condition is a polynomial [x, y] k = [[x, y] k−1 ,y]

A third species of the rare augochlorine bee genus Chlerogelloides Engel et al. (Halictinae, Augochlorini) is described and figured. Chlerogelloides nexosasp. n. is most similar to the type species, Chlerogelloides femoralis Engel et al., in that both have modified midlegs in the males. The former, however, can be distinguished on the basis of its terminalia, which in some respects more closely...
