I develop and argue for a kind of externalism about certain kinds of non-doxastic attitudes that I call policy externalism. Policy externalism about a given type of attitude is the view that all the reasonable policies for having attitudes of that type ...

Vacuum effects of ultra-low mass particle account for Recent Acceleration of Universe [PDF]
In recent work, we showed that non-perturbative vacuum effects of a very low mass particle could induce, at a redshift of order 1, a transition from a matter-dominated to an accelerating universe.

A Fully Magnetically Levitated Left Ventricular Assist Device — Final Report
Background In two interim analyses of this trial, patients with advanced heart failure who were treated with a fully magnetically levitated centrifugal‐flow left ventricular assist device were less likely to have pump thrombosis or nondisabling stroke ...

Culture has become an essential element in the processes of urban transformation, especially in the central districts of historical cities. This is explained by the crucial role that culture plays in promoting consumption and territorial marking in the ...

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a transcriptional regulator that plays a key role in many aspects of oxygen homeostasis. The heterodimeric HIF complex is regulated by proteolysis of its α-subunits, following oxygen-dependent hydroxylation of specific ...

Non-perturbative effects of vacuum energy on the recent expansion of the universe [PDF]
We show that the vacuum energy of a free quantized field of very low mass can significantly alter the recent expansion of the universe. The effective action of the theory is obtained from a non-perturbative sum of scalar curvature terms in the propagator.

Ravalstan? Islam and the “community construction” of the Pakistanis in Barcelona [PDF]
This paper sets out to assess the process of “community construction” of the Pakistani emigrants living in the Raval district of Barcelona. It is argued that, resulting of the prolonged existence of this community, the process is shaping the emergence of

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
