The gut is one of several organs contributing to the peripheral signalling network that controls food intake. Afferent neurons of the vagus nerve provide an important pathway for gut signals that act by triggering ascending pathways from the brain stem to hypothalamus.

Cognition, 1997
Abstract Kamp and Partee (1995) make new and interesting proposals about the linguistic phenomena of typicality and vagueness. The proposals include a mechanism for computing the typicality of objects in complex concepts, and the use of supervaluations to quantify vagueness. These ideas are discussed and evaluated in the present article.

New Mathematics and Natural Computation, 2005
We examine the notion of a vague ring. We develop a method of constructing vague rings which can be used in the construction of other algebraic structures. We make a connection between vague rings and M-adic topologies on rings and also to the solution of nonlinear systems of equations and to the convergence of Cauchy sequences in power series rings ...

Vagueness and ‘Vague’: A Reply to Varzi
Mind, 2005page 1Varzi (2003) has recently joined a thread of arguments originating in an attempt by Sorensen(1985) to demonstrate that the predicate 'vague' is itself vague. Sorensen's conclusion issignificant in that it has provided the basis for a subsequent effort by Hyde (1994) to defendthe legitimacy of supposing higher-order vagueness. Varzi's contribution

Synthese, 1996
In this paper I present two arguments against the thesis that we experience qualia. I argue that if we experienced qualia then these qualia would have to be essentially vague entities. And I then offer two arguments, one a reworking of Gareth Evans' argument against the possibility of vague objects, the other a reworking of the Sorites argument, to ...

Philosophy of Science, 1939
As is rather generally admitted today, the terms of our language in scientific as well as in everyday use, are not completely precise, but exhibit a more or less high degree of vagueness. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the consequences of this circumstance for a series of questions which belong to the field of logic.

Economics and Philosophy, 2005
Axiomatic utility theory plays a foundational role in some accounts of normative principles. In this context, it is sometimes argued that transitivity of “better than” is a logical truth. Larry Temkin and Stuart Rachels use various examples to argue that “better than” is non–transitive, and that transitivity is not a logical truth.

Dialogue, 2001
RÉSUMÉMichael Tye soutient que certains noms sont vagues parce qu'ils réfèrent à des objets vagues. Tye, cependant, ne distingue pas entre référer à un objet vague et référer vaguement. Je suggère, à partir de certaines suppositions, que les noms vagues doivent référer vaguement.
