Laws and Models in a Theory of Idealization [PDF]
In this paper, I first give a brief summary of a critique of the traditional theories of approximation and idealization; and after identifying one of the major roles of idealization as detaching component processes or systems from joints of nature, a ...

Mandatory reporting laws: Their origin, nature, and development over time
Dozens of countries have enacted mandatory reporting laws in various forms to respond to child abuse and neglect. Other countries including England are currently considering whether to introduce them, and if so in what form.

Reserves, Injury Severity, and Outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury: A CENTER‐TBI Observational Study
ABSTRACT Objective Reserve refers to the brain's ability to maintain function after an injury and strongly relates to traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. This study examined (1) whether associations between pre‐injury reserve proxies and outcomes differed across injury severity categories, and (2) whether the impact of injury severity varied across ...

Is there an overriding principle of nature, hitherto overlooked, that governs all population behavior? A single principle that drives all the regimes observed in nature - exponential-like growth, saturated growth, population decline, population extinction, oscillatory behavior?

ABSTRACT Objective Progressive brain atrophy has now been widely observed in the chronic stages of moderate–severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI), but there is only coarse information regarding its prevalence and magnitude, and whether rate of atrophy accelerates or attenuates across time. We examined these questions in a Canadian inception cohort from

Hyperbolic vacua in Minkowski space
Families of Lorentz, but not Poincare, invariant vacua are constructed for a massless scalar field in 4D Minkowski space. These are generalizations of the Rindler vacuum with a larger symmetry group. Explicit expressions are given as squeezed excitations

Laws, Symmetry, and Symmetry Breaking; Invariance, Conservation Principles, and Objectivity [PDF]
Given its importance in modern physics, philosophers of science have paid surprisingly little attention to the subject of symmetries and invariances, and they have largely neglected the subtopic of symmetry breaking.

Objective Ambulatory care–sensitive conditions (ACSCs) serve as indicators of access, quality, and performance of the health system. This study aimed to determine rheumatoid arthritis (RA)‐specific ACSCs for use in the evaluation of care system access and quality.

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.
