The 'buck-passing' account equates the value of an object with the existence of reasons to favour it. As we argued in an earlier paper, this analysis faces the 'wrong kind of reasons' problem: there may be reasons for pro-attitudes towards worthless objects, in particular if it is the pro-attitudes, rather than their objects, that are valuable. Jonas Olson has recently suggested how to resolve thi
Abstract in UndeterminedA measure of coherence is said to be reliability conducive if and only if a higher degree of coherence (as measured) among testimonies implies a higher probability that the witnesses are reliable. Recently, it has been proved that several coherence measures proposed in the literature are reliability conducive in scenarios of equivalent testimonies (Olsson and Schubert 2007;
The catalytic activities of YBa2Cu3O6+x and copper oxides have been studied in the ammoxidation of toluene. At low oxygen pressures, over YBa2Cu3O6+x selective ammoxidation to benzonitrile occurs, whereas at high pressures, only total combustion of toluene to carbon oxides is observed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of YBa2Cu3O6+x catalysts indicates predominance of Cu(I) states u
A general formalism is presented for the interpretation of experiments in which a laser pulse (or pump pulse) creates charge carriers that are subsequently probed by a broadband THz pulse (or probe pulse). The time dependence of the sample properties is described in terms of the conductivity (,), where the dependence on frequency describes the intrinsic properties of the charge carriers and the de
In conjugated polymers the concept of spectroscopic units belonging to different spatial segments of the chain, which are responsible for the spectroscopic properties of the polymer, has been used to explain the spectral heterogeneity and the excitation migration by (Forster type) hopping transfer. In the present work we study the possible mechanism of segmentation of polythiophene into spectrosco
The story I shall recount started in 1969, when I was given the opportunity to join the Department of Clinical Chemistry at the University Hospital in Malmo. I had just finished medical school at the university in the neighboring town of Lund. Parallel to pursuing my medical studies I had spent some time in the Department of Biochemistry. I did not know much about biochemistry, but it was enough f
In 2007, Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Housing & Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) carried out the Campus Resource Conservation Actions, in order to take full use of resources and to improve the energy efficiency. However, due to the large amounts of universities, the total energy consumption and the energy efficiency situation have no objective statistics. Taking modeling
We study theoretically the linear conductance of a quantum dot connected to ferromagnetic leads. The dot level is split due to a noncollinear magnetic field or intrinsic magnetization. The system is studied in the noninteracting approximation, where an exact solution is given, and, furthermore, with Coulomb correlations in the weak tunneling limit. For the noninteracting case, we find an antireson
Phylogenetic analysis of glycoside hydrolase family 2 including Aspergillus sequences and characterised β-mannosidases from other organisms, clusters putative Aspergillus β-mannosidases in two distinct clades (A and B). Aspergillus species have at least one paralog in each of the two clades. It appears that clade A members are extracellular and clade B members intracellular. Substrate specificity
Regional government formation in varying multilevel contexts: a comparison of eight European countries, Regional Studies. Although governance in multilevel settings has become a prominent research field in political science, there are few comparative studies that focus on explaining sub-national coalition outcomes in such settings. This paper sets out to study regional government formation in eigh
