Simple Python‐based methods for analysis and drift‐correction of STM images
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract A successful scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) experiment relies on both delicate sample preparation and measurement, and careful image filtering and analysis to provide clear and solid results. Processing and analysis of STM images may result in a tricky task, due to the complexity and specificity of the probed systems.

Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract The present paper presents a new (formal) theory of presence according to which, roughly, to be present at a place is to have a delegate located at that place. One crucial feature of the theory is that something can be present at a place without thereby being located there.

Theoria, EarlyView.Abstract This paper argues for the significance of Kaplan's logic LD in two ways: first, by looking at how logic got along before we had LD, and second, by using it to bring out the similarity between David Hume's thesis that one cannot deduce claims about the future on the basis of premises only about the past, and the so‐called "essentiality" of the ...
