In semiconductors, such large gradients lead to very strong phonon drag effects, which … 12 Nov 2013 10:45 - 11:35 Event Pierre-Louis Lions Elliptic or parabolic equations, and specified homogenization (2) Lecture 8 Nov 2013 10:00 - 11:00 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.

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 - 11:20 Event Paul Noordhof Causation: New Arguments for the Counterfactual Theory of Causation Symposium Abstract I shall discuss the commitments of the counterfactual theory of causation and how it may be defended against competitors. … 6 Dec 2013 11:20 - 12:30 Event Thomas Pradeu Development, Information and Causation Symposium Abstract How does a fertilized egg develop into an embryo and subsequently into an adult form?
