Light Dialectica revisited

open access: yes, 2010
We upgrade the light Dialectica interpretation (Hernest, 2005) [6] by adding two more light universal quantifiers, which are both semi-computational and semi-uniform and complement each other.

Instability-Induced Ordering, Universal Unfolding and the Role of Gravity in Granular Couette Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Linear stability theory and bifurcation analysis are used to investigate the role of gravity in shear-band formation in granular Couette flow, considering a kinetic-theory rheological model.

Life, but Not as We Know It: Why Fine‐Tuning Arguments Fail

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Definitions of “life” and theories of life are systematically neglected in arguments for and from fine‐tuning. Despite claims to be neutral about the definition of “life,” fine‐tuning arguments generally presuppose that life requires a form of structural complexity only afforded by physicochemical complexity of the sort with which we are ...

Effective Operations of type 2 in PCAs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We exhibit a way of “forcing a partial functional to be realizable as effective operation” for arbitrary partial combinatory algebras (pcas). This gives a method of defining new pcas from old ones for some fixed type 2 (partial) functional, where the new

Powers and Practices in Labor Standards Enforcement

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wage theft remains a pervasive problem internationally and within the United States. In response, worker advocates have sought stronger laws to deter violations and promote compliance. Yet formal authority alone may be insufficient; labor departments often fail to use the full extent of their legal authority to conduct vigorous enforcement ...

Realizability Models for Sequential Computation

open access: yes, 1998
We give an overview of some recently discovered realizability models that embody notions of sequential computation, due mainly to Abramsky, Nickau, Ong, Streicher, van Oosten and the author. Some of these models give rise to fully abstract models of PCF;

Resilience and Sorites in the Normative Domain and Beyond

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sorites paradox is central to theories on vagueness, which aim to explain apparent contradictions. Some theories, however, imply sharp cut‐offs where we would, intuitively, not expect them. This paper invokes the notion of normative resilience to address this issue.

Computational universality in symbolic dynamical systems

open access: yes, 2004
Many different definitions of computational universality for various types of systems have flourished since Turing’s work. In this paper, we propose a general definition of universality that applies to arbitrary discrete time symbolic dynamical systems ...

Towards a Convenient Category of Topological Domains

open access: yes, 2003
topological spaces, generalising the usual ω-continuous dcppos of domain theory. Our category supports all the standard constructions of domain theory, including the solution of recursive domain equations.

Exploring the Structural, Electronic, and Optical Characteristics of ZrSnO3 Through First‐Principles Calculations for Optoelectronics and Photocatalytic Applications

open access: yesElectrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We performed first‐principles density functional theory calculations to methodically analyse the structural, mechanical, electronic, thermal, and optical properties of trigonal ZrSnO3 under external pressure up to 60 GPa with GGA‐PBE and HSE06 functionals.
