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...
The Sleeping Beauty problem is presented in a formalized framework which summarizes the underlying probability structure. The two rival solutions proposed by Elga (Analysis 60:143–147, 2000) and Lewis (Analysis 61:171–176, 2001) differ by a single parameter concerning her prior probability. They...
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. ...
Animal models of cancer are useful to generate complementary datasets for comparison to human tumor data. Insertional mutagenesis screens, such as those utilizing the Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system, provide a model that recapitulates the spontane
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...
But the women say that Hong-joo is on a different level beauty-wise, and Hee-min immediately deflates. They get so carried away that they declare Hong-joo an untouchable femme fatale, and Jae-chan chokes on his morning coffee. Cut to: Hong-joo holding up a display of her chicken bones...

The Sleeping Beauty problem has spawned a debate between "Thirders" and "Halfers" who draw conflicting conclusions about Sleeping Beauty's credence that a coin lands Heads. Our analysis is based on a probability model for what Sleep...
