Generalità e vaghezza: Charles Sanders Peirce e le teorie embodied dei concetti
Rivista Italiana di Filosofia del Linguaggio, 2012 The neo-empiricist theories of concepts, supported by Prinz (2002), Barsalou (2008) and by the huge community of cognitive psychology, forecast that conceptual system is formed starting from segmentation, flexible and context-sensitive, of portions of ...

A unified theory of granularity, vagueness and approximation [PDF]
, 2001 : We propose a view of vagueness as a semantic property of names and predicates. All entities are crisp, on this semantic view, but there are, for each vague name, multiple portions of reality that are equally good candidates for being its referent, and,

Membrane Polymers for the Pervaporative Separation of Polar Organics: Methanol and Acetonitrile
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.We tested seven polymers as membranes for the pervaporative separation of methanol‐acetonitrile mixtures. Chloroprene rubber, silicone rubber, and Matrimid showed effective separation by favoring acetonitrile transport, enabling azeotrope breaking. Plasticization was assessed using Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy.

The Nature and Value of Vagueness in the Law [PDF]
, 2020 Sample chapter from H. Asgeirsson, The Nature and Value of Vagueness in the Law (Hart Publishing, 2020), in which I present and partially defend a version of what has come to be called the communicative-content theory of law. Book abstract: Lawmaking is –

Multiple actualities and ontically vague identity [PDF]
, 2008 Gareth Evans's argument against ontically vague identity has been picked over on many occasions. But extant proposals for blocking the argument do not meet well-motivated general constraints on a successful solution.

On the Borders of Vagueness and the Vagueness of Borders [PDF]
, 2018 This article argues that resolutions to the sorites paradox offered by epistemic and supervaluation theories fail to adequately account for vagueness. After explaining the paradox, I examine the epistemic theory defended by Timothy Williamson and discuss

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Deliberately vague or vaguely deliberative
Ecological Economics, 2023 Deliberative Monetary Valuation (DMV) was developed in response to critique on traditional stated preference methods and combines elements of deliberative institutions with the elicitation of monetary values. In the theoretical DMV literature, two strands based on different motivations for employing deliberation were identified: preference ...

Dental crown morphological variation and heterodonty in carcharhiniform sharks
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Elasmobranch teeth are highly mineralized structures that constitute the majority of the fossil record for this group. Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...
