An Emergentist Approach to Phenomenal Causality
ABSTRACT Philosophers have long debated whether phenomenal properties can play genuine causal roles. In this article, I aim to develop an emergentist approach to phenomenal causality, an approach that attributes novel causal powers to phenomenal properties and rejects the causal closure of physics.

On optimal piggyback merging policies for video-on-demand systems
A critical issue in the performance of a video-on-demand system is the 1/0 bandwidth re-quired in order to satisfy client requests. A number of techniques have been proposed in order to reduce these bandwidth requirements. In this paper we concentrate on

Piggyback multifocal intraocular lens for a pseudophakic eye: 6-year follow-up
Because few reports have been published on the long-term observation of piggyback multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) for pseudophakic eyes, this study reports a case followed for 6 years after piggyback bifocal IOL implantation. A 42-year-old woman who

A Piggyback-Style Algorithm for Learning Improved Shearlets and TGV Discretizations [PDF]
This work demonstrates how to use a piggyback-style algorithm to compute derivatives of loss functions that depend on solutions of convex-concave saddle-point problems. Two application scenarios are presented, where the piggyback primal-dual algorithm is
