Local Miracle Compatibilism [PDF]

Noûs, 2003
To those people who have not spent much time thinking about the problem of free will, it seems that we frequently have the ability to do otherwise than what we do. Provided I am not subject to any compulsions or coercive forces (addiction, bondage, someone holding a gun to my head, and so on), I am able now to raise my hand, drink some water, read the ...

Polymer informatics: Integrating data‐driven strategies, advanced machine learning, and automated synthesis for next‐generation polymer design

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Designing new polymers for applications such as sustainable plastics, biomaterials, and 3D printing has traditionally been slow and expensive, relying heavily on trial‐and‐error experiments. This review shows how polymer informatics—the integration of large polymer databases, machine‐learning models, and automated robotic synthesis—enables fast ...

Polycarbonate Vitrimers and Dynamic Co‐Networks From Epoxide/Carbon Dioxide Copolymerization

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates how CO2‐derived poly(propylene carbonate) and poly(cyclohexene carbonate) backbones influence vitrimer thermo‐mechanical behavior. By tuning backbone composition, epoxide crosslinker chemistry and blend ratios, the crosslinked materials span a wide property window, from highly extensible to stiff, glassy networks, establishing an

Compatibilism, Indeterminism, and Chance [PDF]

Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 2018
AbstractMany contemporary compatibilists about free will and determinism are agnostic about whether determinism is true, yet do not doubt that we have free will. They are thus committed to the thesis that free will is compatible with both determinism and indeterminism.
