Some Problems With Steadfast Strategies for Rational Disagreement [PDF]

, 2014
Current responses to the question of how one should adjust one’s beliefs in response to peer disagreement have, in general, formed a spectrum at one end of which sit the so-called ‘conciliatory’ views and whose other end is occupied by the ‘steadfast ...

Heuristically Adaptive Diffusion‐Model Evolutionary Strategy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Building on the mathematical equivalence between diffusion models and evolutionary algorithms, researchers demonstrate unprecedented control over evolutionary optimization through conditional diffusion. By training diffusion models to associate parameters with specific traits, they can guide evolution toward solutions exhibiting desired behaviors ...

How Supererogation Can Save Intrapersonal Permissivism [PDF]

, 2019
Rationality is intrapersonally permissive just in case there are multiple doxastic states that one agent may be rational in holding at a given time, given some body of evidence.

Timing Mechanotransduction: Mechanically Dynamic Biomaterials Reveal the Temporal Hierarchy of YAP/TAZ Control Nodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops dynamically softening polyacrylamide hydrogels for time‐resolved imaging during continuous mechanical transitions. The study revealed that mechanotransduction is biphasic; YAP/TAZ inactivation is driven by early loss of the nucleocytoskeletal continuum connecting subnuclear adhesions, F‐actin, and the nuclear envelope, coupled with ...

Using continua to analyze qualitative data investigating epistemic beliefs about physics knowledge: Visualizing beliefs

Physical Review Physics Education Research
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Qualitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination.] Epistemic beliefs about physics are most often investigated using quantitative instruments that reflect binary conceptualizations of those beliefs. This

“We can’t really know cos we weren’t really there”: Identifying Irish primary children’s bottleneck beliefs about history

Historical Encounters: A Journal of Historical Consciousness, Historical Cultures, and History Education, 2022
While there has been a wave of interest in epistemology as a field of study, there have been few studies focused on primary-aged children and even fewer on their epistemic beliefs about history.

Spintronic Bayesian Hardware Driven by Stochastic Magnetic Domain Wall Dynamics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetic Probabilistic Computing (MPC) utilizes intrinsic stochastic dynamics in domain walls to establish a hardware foundation for uncertainty‐aware artificial intelligence. Thermally driven domain‐wall fluctuations, voltage‐controlled magnetic anisotropy, and TMR readout enable fully electrical, tunable probabilistic inference.

Mathematical Epistemic Beliefs: Through the Gender Lens

Frontiers in Education, 2022
This large survey study set out to ascertain whether gender differences in teachers’ mathematical epistemic beliefs exist, and the extent to which teachers’ gender as well as their teaching experience level, education level, and socio-economic setting of
