From modality to millianism

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

Microbial and bryospheric photosynthesis of boreal peatlands have peatland‐type‐specific responses to long‐term drying

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The impacts of drying on bryospheric photosynthesis are poorly understood. Utilising a 20‐yr‐long experiment, we quantified the effects of long‐term water level drawdown (WLD) on links between bryospheric photosynthesis, microbial community composition, decomposition, and environmental variables.

Accuracy and precision of a sphero‐cylindrical over‐refraction app for smartphones

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the accuracy and precision of a web‐based smartphone app designed to measure sphero‐cylindrical over‐refraction. Methods A total of 307 healthy young subjects (22.5 ± 3.4 years) underwent clinical subjective refraction. In addition to each subject's refractive correction, spherical and cylindrical errors from −1.50 to 0.00 ...

Preoperative Virtual Reality for Pediatric Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia often face stress responses, anesthetic challenges, and delayed recovery. Virtual reality has emerged as a promising non‐pharmacological intervention, though its effectiveness varies across studies. This meta‐analysis evaluates the effects of preoperative virtual reality interventions

OrchardQuant‐3D: combining drone and LiDAR to perform scalable 3D phenotyping for characterising key canopy and floral traits in fruit orchards

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Orchard fruits such as pear and apple are important for ensuring global food security and agricultural economy as they not only provide essential nutrients, but also support biodiversity and ecosystem services. Breeders, growers and plant researchers constantly study desirable tree morphological features and floral characteristics to ensure ...
