In semiconductors, such large gradients lead to very strong phonon drag effects, which … 12 Nov 2013 10:45 to 11:35 Event Pierre-Louis Lions Elliptic or parabolic equations, and specified homogenization (2) Lecture 8 Nov 2013 10:00 to 11:00 Series Diseases affecting cognitive function : recent advances in genetic approaches Jean-Louis Mandel, chair Human genetics Lecture 11 Mar 2009 → 25 Mar 2009 Event James Woodward Interventionism Defended: Methodology, Circularity, and Truth Conditions Symposium Abstract In Making Things Happen, I claimed that it is methodologically useful to interpret causal claims as claims about what would happen under interventions.

These ideas have also been used in accounts of actual causation. In this talk, I explore the … 6 Dec 2013 15:45 to 16:45 Event Helen Beebee Difference-Making and Causal Exclusion: Is There Still a Problem? Symposium Abstract "Difference-making" accounts of causation have recently been put to use in solving the "exclusion problem": the problem of explaining how mental properties can be causes if they supervene on but are not identical with their physical realisers. … 6 Dec 2013 10:20 to 11:20 Event Thomas Pradeu Development, Information and Causation Symposium Abstract How does a fertilized egg develop into an embryo and subsequently into an adult form?

Symposium Abstract In 1953 de Broglie's student, Olivier Costa de Beauregard, raised what he took to be an objection to the EPR argument.
