Model‐Based Semantics: Doing Without Meaning Constitution

Metaphilosophy, Volume 57, Issue 1-2, Page 103-118, January 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a model‐based account of meaning, arguing that meaning properties reside in models rather than in the external world. Building on this view, it explores how such an instrumentalist framework can engage critically with various concerns raised by Wittgenstein, Quine, and Kripke[nstein]—each of whom voiced scepticism toward ...

The legacy of the Cartwright–Littlewood collaboration

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Mary L. Cartwright and John E. Littlewood published a short “preliminary survey” in 1945 describing results of their investigation of the forced van der Pol equation ÿ−k(1−y2)ẏ+y=bλkcos(λt+a)$$\begin{equation*} \ddot{y}-k(1-y^2)\dot{y}+y = b \lambda k \cos (\lambda t+a) \end{equation*}$$in which b,λ,k,a$b,\lambda,k,a$ are parameters with k$k$

Assessment of the hydraulic performance of water supply distribution system in Gidole Town, Ethiopia

River, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 416-430, August 2025.
Abstract The majority of water utilities, particularly public service providers such as Gidole town, are struggling to deliver a sufficient and consistent supply of water in Ethiopia's developing towns. The primary objective of this study was to assess the hydraulic performance of water supply distribution system in Gidole Town, Ethiopia, a ...

A Cauchy-Dirac delta function

, 2012
The Dirac delta function has solid roots in 19th century work in Fourier analysis and singular integrals by Cauchy and others, anticipating Dirac's discovery by over a century, and illuminating the nature of Cauchy's infinitesimals and his infinitesimal ...

A Sharp Threshold for a Random Version of Sperner's Theorem

Random Structures &Algorithms, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The Boolean lattice 𝒫(n) consists of all subsets of [n]={1,…,n}$$ \left[n\right]=\left\{1,\dots, n\right\} $$ partially ordered under the containment relation. Sperner's Theorem states that the largest antichain of the Boolean lattice is given by a middle layer: the collection of all sets of size n/2$$ \left\lfloor n/2\right\rfloor $$, or also,

Inconsistency, paraconsistency and ω-inconsistency [PDF]

, 2018
In this paper I'll explore the relation between ω-inconsistency and plain inconsistency, in the context of theories that intend to capture semantic concepts. In particular, I'll focus on two very well known inconsistent but non-trivial theories of truth:

Some Novel Fixed‐Point Results in Neutrosophic Soft Metric Space With Application in Decision‐Making to Select the Optimal Adsorbent

Journal of Mathematics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In this research paper, the concepts of compatible maps and maps of type α¯ and (β¯) within the framework of neutrosophic soft metric spaces (NSMS) are established. The interconnections between α¯‐ and (β¯)‐type maps are also clarified. Additionally, the notions of R‐weakly commuting and weakly commuting mappings in NSMS are introduced. A proof for the

A deficit story in motion: How marginalized youngsters are defined out of the educational game before they enter school

Journal of Social Issues, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 1218-1237, December 2024.
Abstract This paper offers a case study of the Life History of the Word Gap (WG) Story, the most prominent deficit discourse of the contemporary era. Mindful of mounting critiques of deficit thinking and informed by Bakhtinian theory, we seek to understand the Story's ascendance by interrogating its evolving historical context.

Modeling large‐scale bioreactors with diffusion equations. Part I: Predicting axial dispersion coefficient and mixing times

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 1060-1075, March 2024.
In this study, authors developed a transfer resistance analogy to predict the axial dispersion coefficient for 1D diffusion equations using reactor configuration and operating conditions. Over 800 previously published mixing times were predicted with good accuracy.

Optimizing Automotive Logistics Using MCGDM: A Data‐Driven Approach to the Selection of Warehouse Location With Octagonal Neutrosophic Application

Advances in Fuzzy Systems, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The domain of decision‐making theory has made significant progress, especially within the industrial and management fields. Diverse decision‐making challenges such as multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM), multiattribute decision‐making (MADM), and multiattribute group decision‐making (MAGDM) have been thoroughly examined, equipping decision‐makers with
