Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Expected utility theory often falls silent, even in cases where the correct rankings of options seems obvious. For instance, it fails to compare the Pasadena game to the Altadena game, despite the latter turning out better in every state. Decision theorists have attempted to fill these silences by proposing various extensions to expected ...

Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract A new argument is offered which proceeds through epistemic possibility (for all S knows, p), cutting a trail from modality to Millianism, the controversial thesis that the semantic content of a proper name is simply its bearer. New definitions are provided for various epistemic modal notions.

The simplicity of physical laws
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.Summary IntroductionTraditional obesity measures including body mass index, waist circumference, waist‐to‐hip ratio, and waist‐to‐height ratio have limitations. The primary objective of this study was to identify and review the validity of non‐traditional obesity measures, using measures of total body fat as the reference standard, that have been used ...

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Midazolam is commonly used and effective in reducing preoperative anxiety in children. Nonpharmacological interventions, such as video distraction, are also well established for alleviating preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients, particularly those treated in ambulatory settings.

Unique starch biosynthesis pathways in wild rice revealed by multi‐omics analyses
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Australian wild rice species (AWS) possess unique starch properties characterized by a slow digestibility rate. However, the genomic and transcriptomic variations of starch‐synthesis‐related genes (SSRGs) influencing starch physiochemical properties in AWS remain unclear.
