Can medical interventions serve as ‘criminal rehabilitation’? by Barn, G

“…In this paper, I begin by suggesting that the basic argument behind the Parity Claim (2) results in a reductio ad absurdum, whereby any practice that is sufficiently similar to incarceration in the ways Douglas presents, would also be considered permissible. …”

McDowell's oscillation, objectivity and rationality by Garner, S, Stephanie Garner

“…</p> <p>The argument of this thesis is then located within a broader philosophical landscape. …”

The Complexity of Continuous Optimization by Rogaway, Phillip

Debugging Distributed Computations in a Nest Atomic Action System by Chiu, Sheng Yang

“…In this thesis, we argue that structuring activities as nested atomic actions can make debugging such programs much like debugging traditional sequential programs. To support the argument, we present a method for debugging computations in the Argus language and system. …”

Algebraic Methods for Optimization Problems by Bird, R, Gibbons, J, Mu, S

“…We argue for the benefits of relations over functions for modelling programs, and even more so for modelling specifications. To support this argument, we present an extended case study for a class of optimization problems, deriving efficient functional programs from concise relational specifications.…”

Solving the measurement problem: De Broglie-Bohm loses out to Everett by Brown, H, Wallace, D

“…The quantum theory of de Broglie and Bohm solves the measurement problem, but the hypothetical corpuscles play no role in the argument. The solution finds a more natural home in the Everett interpretation. © 2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.…”

Theodical individualism by Mawson, T

“…In this journal Steven Maitzen has recently advanced an argument for Atheism premised on Theodical Individualism, the thesis that God would not permit people to suffer evils that were undeserved, involuntary, and gratuitous for them. …”

Comment on Renormalization Group Study of the A+B-&gt;0 Diffusion-Limited Reaction by Lee, B, Cardy, J

“…A recent argument of Oerding shows that our calculation of the quantity Delta, which determines the amplitude of the asymptotic decay of the particle density in d &lt; 2 &lt; 4, was in error. …”

Sex selection: the case for. by Savulescu, J

“…There is a strong argument in favour of sex selection, based on respect for procreative autonomy--the autonomy of couples to decide for themselves how to procreate, and what children to have. …”

Why propositions might be sets of truth-supporting circumstances by Elbourne, P

“…Soames (Philos Top 15:44–87, 1987, J Philos Logic 37:267–276, 2008) has argued that propositions cannot be sets of truth-supporting circumstances. This argument is criticized for assuming that various singular terms are directly referential when in fact there are good grounds to doubt this.…”

Plausibility in Plato's Phaedrus and the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum by Reinhardt, T

“…The article proposes a new interpretation of the course of the argument in Plato, Phaedr. 259e–274a and suggests that this interpretation can be supported by the realisation that in 273d–274a Plato critically engages with contemporary rhetorical lore on proof as preserved in Rhet. ad Alex. 1428a25–b9.…”

Re-examining the polysystem theory through censorship in the translation of sexual taboos: a comparative study of mainland China and Taiwan by Liu, Li
