Modal Realism, Modal Rationalism, Modal Naturalism
2012This chapter summarizes the accounts of modal realism, modal rationalism, and modal naturalism. It details the author's attempt to develop a framework that is compatible with the denial of actualist accounts of modality. It also alludes to some ways that the contrast between modal naturalism and modal rationalism connects with many of the issues that ...

Modal Synthesis Modal Correction — Modal Coupling
1982Modal synthesis is a technical term closely related to the development of the finite element technique. Especially in dealing with large structural systems with some thousand physical degrees of freedom, modal synthesis has proved to be an efficient means to reduce computational errors and to minimize computer costs by decomposing the system into ...

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2007
Physical rehabilitation modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound (TU), transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation (TENS), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), cold or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and pulsed magnetic field therapy (PMF) can all, when used properly, assist in treating orthopedic injuries, neurological conditions, and

Studia Logica, 2012
The author develops a modal logic with the modalities ``always necessary'' and ``sometimes necessary'', and dual modalities for possibility. He gives a Hilbert-style axiomatization, and an adequate semantics via Kripke frames with arbitrary families of accessibility relations. This logic has the finite model property and is, hence, decidable.

The findings of the present study of selected modals and quasi-modals in matching corpora of Australian, New Zealand, British and American English reinforce those of diachronic investigations attesting to the rising popularity of the quasi-modals and declining fortunes of the modals in recent decades.

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 1996
We add a binary operator ≥ to the logical language, with intended meaning of φ<ψ: ‘φ is at least as likely, probable, or trustworthy, as ψ’. The operator ≥ is interpreted on Kripke structures, making it possible to define the standard necessity operator □ in terms of ≥.

Journal of Philosophy, 1986
AbstractIn the first part of this chapter, I sketch out three grades of modal realism. After developing modal realism, I examine David Lewis's modal theory. I argue that Lewis's theory satisfies none of the grades of modal realism, and that it is really a case of modal reductionism. In particular, I demonstrate that Counterpart Theory is a rejection of
