Kant, Guyer, and Tomasello on the Capacity to Recognize the Humanity of Others [PDF]
On the surface Kant himself seems quite clear about who is deserving of respect: The morally relevant others are all “rational, free beings” or all “human beings.” It is clear, however, that Kant does not want to identify “human beings” in this sense ...

Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Antibacterial efficacy of metals in preventative and therapeutic equine podiatry applications
Summary Background Thrush, abscesses, white line disease and cankers are life‐threatening infections common in equine hooves. Copper has a history of medicinal use on equine hooves. There is a paucity of scientific evidence supporting the use of metals as antimicrobial agents in equine podiatry.

Giant Planar Hall Effect in Epitaxial (Ga,Mn)As Devices [PDF]
Large Hall resistance jumps are observed in microdevices patterned from epitaxial (Ga,Mn)As layers when subjected to a swept, in-plane magnetic field. This giant planar Hall effect is four orders of magnitude greater than previously observed in metallic ...

Using White Dish CMB Anisotropy Data to Probe Open and Flat-Lambda CDM Cosmogonies
We use data from the White Dish experiment to set limits on cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies in open and spatially-flat-Lambda cold dark matter cosmogonies. We account for the White Dish calibration uncertainty, and marginalize over the
