We present a new argument for the claim that in the Sleeping Beauty problem, the probability that the coin comes up heads is 1/3. Our argument depends on a principle for the updating of probabilities that we call ‘generalized conditionalization’, and on a species of generalized conditional...
This is shown by the positive, significant effect of non-patent literature on the probability of being a beauty. Nonetheless, we also show that this variable has a negative effect on the probability to be a sleeper. Ultimately, Hypothesis 2 is not confirmed: patents with more non-patent ...
The Sleeping Beauty problem is test stone for theories about self- locating belief, i.e. theories about how we should reason when data or theories contain indexical information. Opinion on this problem is split between two camps, those who defend the "1/2 view" and those who advocate the ...
Transfer of TCR genes into younger T cells from peripheral blood with a high proliferative potential could obviate this problem. We generated a rapid, cost-effective strategy to genetically engineer cancer patient T cells with TCRs using the clinical Sleeping Beauty transposon/transposase system. ...
Centrohexaindane has remained far from such broad acceptance – in spite of its structural regularity, topological uniqueness, and molecular beauty as a “Cartesian hexabenzene”. The mutual complementarity of centrohexaindane and C60‐fullerene may be pointed out again here: While the latter ...
Now suppose we introduce Leslie’s Firing Squad to the alien. As long as it understands the concept of execution, it would analyze the problem basing on the prisoner’s life-or-death, not its own. This is where the analogy breaks down. The fine-tuning argument depends on one’s own exi...
