Impossible worlds and logical omniscience: an impossibility result [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, I investigate whether we can use a world-involving framework to model the epistemic states of non-ideal agents. The standard possible-world framework falters in this respect because of a commitment to logical omniscience.

On some total social places: an enditorial... [PDF]

open access: yeslo Squaderno, 2010
Let us consider a few different types of socio-spatial formations: utopia, dystopia and heterotopia. Heterotopia has been famously described as a ‘really existing’ or ‘effectuated’ utopia, which in turn has been succinctly yet effectively characterized ...

On the Possibility and Plurality of Worlds: from The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to Le Crime étrange de Mr Hyde

open access: yesSillages Critiques, 2004
When an academic and Stevenson specialist writes a first novel meant as a rewriting of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, he tries to justify, with a hindsight, how he came to bridge the gap between his research and his post-modern Victorian ...

Biomimetic Vascular Scaffold with Seamless Electrospun Aligned Nanofiber Conduit and 3D‐Printed Coil Reinforcement

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a new fabrication method that overcomes the current limitation of tubular gap electrospinning. We successfully fabricated a seamless hollow tube with fibers aligned along the longitudinal axis in diameters as small as 300 µm, and then reinforced it using 4‐axis 3D printing.

Mundos imposibles: autoficción

open access: yesActio Nova, 2016
En este artículo se tratan de explicar la autoficción (que se produce en las obras literarias en las que el autor real experimenta sucesos ficticios, ya sean verosímiles o inverosímiles) como una ruptura de la lógica ficcional (metalepsis), con la ...

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

A Method for Studying Social Actors

open access: yesJournal of World-Systems Research, 2015
So little agreement exists on what constitutes sociology that it seems impossible to de?ne its speci?c methods. We can however proceed through a series of eliminations.

Why classical certification is impossible in a quantum world [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Information Processing, 2011
We give a simple proof that it is impossible to guarantee the classicality of inputs into any mistrustful quantum cryptographic protocol. The argument illuminates the impossibility of unconditionally secure quantum implementations of essentially classical tasks such as bit commitment with a certified classical committed bit, classical oblivious ...
