Monthly, overwinter and annual instantaneous growth rates for round goby Neogobius melanostomus were calculated with maximal growth occurring in July and August and almost no growth observed between ice appearance (October) and melt (March). Annual absolute growth rates averaged 27·3 ± 1·9 mm for males and 19·8 ± 2·4 mm for females. The most parsimonious Cormack–Jolly–Seber model indicated that both...
A prevailing view in contemporary philosophy of mind is that zombies are logically possible. I argue, via a thought experiment, that if this prevailing view is correct, then I could be transformed into a zombie. If I could be transformed into a zombie, then surprisingly, I am not certain that I am conscious. Regrettably, this is not just an idiosyncratic fact about my psychology; I think you are in...
According to alethic functionalism, truth is a higher-order multiply realizable property of propositions. After briefly presenting the view’s main principles and motivations, I defend alethic functionalism from recent criticisms raised against it by Cory Wright. Wright argues that alethic functionalism will collapse either into deflationism or into a view that takes “true” as simply ambiguous. I reject...
The effect of α-Tocopherol (α-Toc) on the reduction of metmyoglobin (MetMb) was investigated using a liver extract containing cytochrome b 5 (LE) prepared from bovine liver in a Triton X-100 system at 37 o C and at pH 7.2, 6.2, and 5.6. The combination of α-Toc and LE reduced MetMb at pH 5.6 and pH 6.2 (p < 0.05), but not at pH 7.2. When LE was added, substitution of α-Toc with...
