Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Expected utility maximization with unbounded utilities implies that tiny probabilities of huge positive or negative payoffs can dominate overall expected‐utility calculations. In other words, it leads to fanaticism. Fanaticism is counterintuitive, as illustrated by cases such as Pascal's Mugging and the St. Petersburg paradox.

The Problem of Psychonomic Harmony
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of nomological harmony is the problem of explaining why the laws of nature match or apply to the states of the universe in a way that results in temporal evolution. The problem of psychophysical harmony is the problem of explaining why phenomenal states are paired with physical states and other phenomenal states in surprisingly ...

Death, Deprivation, and the Symmetry Problem
Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT According to the deprivation account of the badness of death, death is bad for the one who dies because it deprives her of goods she would otherwise have enjoyed. This view faces the so‐called symmetry problem when one considers prenatal nonexistence. Scholars have proposed various solutions to this problem, but all of them encounter their own

On Our Cosmic (In)significance
Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article discusses three interpretations of cosmic significance, all of which reveal something important about the notion of significance. Along the way, it proposes a unified view of significance by combining elements of each of the views.

Oral Science International, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2027.ABSTRACT Aim Tongue movement is essential for oral functions, including mastication, swallowing, and speech articulation; however, objective methods for evaluating lateral tongue movement remain limited. This study aimed to develop an ultrasonography‐based method for quantitatively assessing lateral tongue movement in healthy adults and school‐aged ...

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 1136-1145, December 2026.ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

Genome‐wide prediction of cloned disease resistance homologues across the Oryza genus
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract The wild relatives of rice (Oryza sativa L.) represent reservoirs of genetic diversity and potential sources of novel pest and disease resistance. The recent availability of high‐quality Oryza genome assemblies has enabled greater exploration of this diversity across the genus.

Genome evolution of Mediterranean olives following DNA repeats diversification
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) is one of the most representative perennial crops of the Mediterranean Basin, yet the genomic processes underlying its domestication and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated repeatome variation across 20 accessions, including 11 wild oleasters and nine cultivated ...
