Vicious And Virtuous Epistemic Egoism, Nicolo M. Masakayan

Journal Article

Epistemic egoists are individuals who believe that there are no prima facie reasons why we should accept testimony. I need paper I examine the question "is epestemic egoism, an intellectual virtue?" I assert that a variant of epistemic egoism, called weak epistemic egoim, satisfies reliablist conditions for intellectual virtue. I also assert the extreme epistemic egoism, characterized as a blanket rejection of all testimony, is an intellectual vice. I also examine the possibility that extreme epistemic egoism is an intellectual virtue in rare situations. I argue that extreme epistemic egoism can be valuable, but not for strictly epistemic reasons.

Rediscovering A Legacy Of A Lost Voice: A History Of Radyo Dzlb's School-On-The-Air, Mark Lester M. Chico

Journal Article

The school-on-the-air (SOA) is a pioneering broadcast program developed by Radyo DZLB in the University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines.

Management Strategies For Improving Survival Of Piglets From Hyperprolific Sows, R.N. Kirkwood, P. Langendijk, J. Carr

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

In efforts to improve profitability, sows have been subject to ongoing selection for larger litters. The current dogma is that larger litters improve sow productivity. This review, however, will question the validity of this assumption. It is inescapable that very large litters will have longer farrowing durations, lower average and more variable birth weights, and the sows will have insufficient teats available to feed their piglets. This is a recipe for increased piglet mortality with associated ethical considerations. This review will examine methods employed to address these challenges posed by larger litters in order to improve piglet survival. Producers, however, …

Conserved And Divergent Features Of Neuronal Camkii Holoenzyme Structure, Function, And Highorder Assembly, Olivia R. Buonarati, Adam P. Miller, Steven J. Coultrap, K. Ulrich Bayer, Steve L. Reichow

Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

Neuronal CaMKII holoenzymes (^a and ^b isoforms) enable molecular signal computation underlying learning and memory but also mediate excitotoxic neuronal death. Here, we provide a comparative analysis of these signaling devices, using single-particle electron microscopy (EM) in combination with biochemical and live cell imaging studies. In the basal state, both isoforms assemble mainly as 12-mers (but also 14-mers and even 16-mers for the b isoform). CaMKIIa and ^b isoforms adopt an ensemble of extended activatable states (with average radius of 12.6 versus 16.8 nm, respectively), characterized by multiple transient intra- and interholoenzyme interactions associated with distinct functional properties. The …

Despite years of progress, mutation detection in cancer samples continues to require significant manual review as a final step. Expert review is particularly challenging in cases where tumors are sequenced without matched normal control DNA. Attempts have been made to call somatic point mutations without a matched normal sample by removing well-known germline variants, utilizing unmatched normal controls, and constructing decision rules to classify sequencing errors and private germline variants. With budgetary constraints related to computational and sequencing costs, finding the appropriate number of controls is a crucial step to identifying somatic variants. Our approach utilizes public databases for canonical …
