ABSTRACT Do individuals have their actual causal origins necessarily? Or could one and the same individual also have had a causal origin other than its actual one?

Trees can redirect large volumes of rainwater to the base of their stems. This stemflow not only redistributes water but also channels canopy‐derived solutes to the forest floor. Building on research showing canopy geometry and bark properties govern stemflow volumes, we examined how those same traits modulate the biogeochemical side of this flux. Over

Large‐Amplitude Periodic Solutions to the Steady Euler Equations With Piecewise Constant Vorticity
ABSTRACT We consider steady solutions to the incompressible Euler equations in a two‐dimensional channel with rigid walls. The flow consists of two periodic layers of constant vorticity separated by an unknown interface. Using global bifurcation theory, we rigorously construct curves of solutions that terminate either with stagnation on the interface ...

Philosophy's past: Cognitive values and the history of philosophy
Abstract Recent authors hold that the role of historical scholarship within contemporary philosophical practice is to question current assumptions, to expose vestiges or to calibrate intuitions. On these views, historical scholarship is dispensable, since these roles can be achieved by nonhistorical methods.
