Presentism in a World Denied Instantaneous Signals [PDF]
, 2011 The special theory of relativity (STR) is widely regarded as the primary threat to the otherwise intuitive presentist worldview. In particular, both the relativity and conventionality of simultaneity within STR appear to undermine presentism and support

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

Relativity as Support for Presentism: A Modest Evidential Argument [PDF]
, 2013 Presentism is roughly the view that only the present exists. This view requires an absolute simultaneity relation. The special theory of relativity, however, is highly successful and does not account for absolute simultaneity.

Pre-stimulus beta and gamma oscillatory power predicts perceived audiovisual simultaneity
, 2016 Pre-stimulus oscillation activity in the brain continuously fluctuates, but it is correlated with subsequent behavioral and perceptual performance. Here, using fast Fourier transformation of pre-stimulus electroencephalograms, we explored how oscillatory

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

O konwencjonalnym charakterze pojęcia jednoczesności w Szczególnej Teorii Względności
Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2005 To be able to determine the simultaneity of distant events, one has to make use of a convention. Einstein's famous definition of simultaneity, which sets e=1/2 , is a case of such a convention.

ACTUALIZATION OF THE TAXIS SEMANTICS OF DISTANT NON-SIMULTANEITY
Известия Южного федерального университета: Филологические науки, 2022 The categorical semantics of the primary taxis of distant nonsimultaneity is actualized in statements with taxis prepositions of temporal semantics vor and nach.

Matter or geometry as fundamental in relativity theory: How not to teach special relativity [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, I review a number of interpretational frameworks for relativistic phenomena like length contraction and relativity of simultaneity. Of central focus is the book Physical Relativity by Harvey Brown, where Brown advocates a view in which ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Simultaneity in event structures
, 2010 Various brand of event structures, prime, bundle, flow, asymmetric, inhibitor just to mention some, have been proposed to face the various kinds of causality and conflict arising in computation.
