This paper puts forward a new formulation of the experimentalist challenge to the method of cases. Unlike previous attempts to articulate the challenge, the one proposed is based on a clear characterization of the targeted philosophical methodology. The method of cases is explicated as a form of ...
Advanced characterisation techniques Integrated sensors and instruments are used to track battery performance and monitor degradation. These smart technologies offer insight not previously possible with traditional sensing technologies. Safety is front of mind, with built-in senso...
This view is reinforced by the consideration in both reviews of Interactions between management and biophysical and economic systems, suggesting a greater focus on biophysical impacts and triggers of choices, than on characterisation of the decision-making process itself. Again, although Interactions ...
Advances in sequencing technology and characterisation of S-locus genomic regions from multiple S-haplotypes (Goubet et al., 2012) now make it possible to perform a broader survey of S-haplotype variation and to conduct a detailed assessment of the mechanisms of loss of SI. The purpose of ...
“Economic rationality is a purely instrumentalist notion: All that it requires is the acquisition and processing of some information taken as input, and the production of an efficient action or behaviour as output, given a specific goal. With such a broad characterisation, even the policies of ...
