Conditions for the acceptance of deontic conditionals.
Recent psychological research has investigated how people assess the probability of an indicative conditional. Most people give the conditional probability of q given p as the probability of if p then q. Asking about the probability of an indicative conditional, one is in effect asking about its acceptability. But on what basis are deontic conditionals

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a unified account of conditionals inspired by Frank Ramsey. Most contemporary philosophers agree that Ramsey’s account applies to indicative conditionals only. We observe against this orthodoxy that his account covers subjunctive conditionals as well—including counterfactuals.

Performance comparison of cooling systems using R410a and RE170 as working fluids at various condensing temperature [PDF]
In addition to being used as a fuel and propellant, dimethyl ether (RE170) can also be used as an environmentally friendly refrigerant. Apart from having zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), this compound also has a very low global warming potential ...

Conditional Spectrum-Based Ground Motion Selection. Part I: Hazard Consistency for Risk-Based Assessments [PDF]
The conditional spectrum (CS, with mean and variability) is a target response spectrum that links nonlinear dynamic analysis back to probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for ground motion selection.

The contribution of energy systems during 15-second sprint exercise in athletes of different sports specializations [PDF]
Background Long-term adaptations and ongoing training seem to modify the energy system contribution in highly trained individuals. We aimed to compare the energy metabolism profile during sprint exercise in athletes of different specialties.

Recent Progress in the Control of Fish Behavior [PDF]
The paper gives a survey of recent activities in developing techniques for controlling fish behaviour over short and medium distances. The bases for control are described with reference to the sensory system of the fish and a simple model of fish ...

Anankastic conditionals are just conditionals [PDF]
Since Saebo (1985, 2001) drew the attention of formal semanticists to the compositionality problems raised by anankastic conditionals like If you want to go to Harlem, you have to take the A train, a number of authors have proposed analyses tailor-made for such conditionals.

Conditions for superdecoherence [PDF]
Decoherence is the main obstacle to quantum computation. The decoherence rate per qubit is typically assumed to be constant. It is known, however, that quantum registers coupling to a single reservoir can show a decoherence rate per qubit that increases linearly with the number of qubits.

Conditional and Conditioned Reasons
This paper is a brief reponse to some of Douglas Portmore's criticisms of our version of the agent-relative/agent-neutral distinction.In his interesting and helpful paper ‘McNaughton and Rawling on the Agent-relative/Agent-neutral Distinction’, Douglas Portmore criticizes our formalization of duties on the grounds that we have over-looked an important ...
