The then-current and still widespread view that philosophy is a second-order, meta-level, and essentially linguistic activity, taking as its object of study the pronouncements of first-order activities, such as chemistry, religion, or history, is reflected in Beardsley's view on the nature of aesthetics.
As a SPECT, PET, CT or MRT scan allow the measurement of organ volumes and therefore masses, several studies have assumed uniform distribution of activity and applied a first-order correction by multiplying the activity concentration by the phantom organ weight, resulting in normalized time activity curves and residence times.
The analysis performs a first-order perturbative expansion of neural activity equations that include three different sources of randomness: the background noise of the membrane potentials, their initial conditions, and the distribution of the recurrent synaptic weights.
An oxygen evolution experiment displays a low catalytic water oxidation activity with a first-order reaction kinetic mechanism.
The aim of Figure4 is to show the cumulative rate versus the number of slots m0used for the recursive estimation of the transition probabilities assuming M = 3 and by modeling the macro-user activity as a first-order Markov chain.
In addition, we assumed that the intermediate variable (u) and the OSN spiking activity (y) undergo a first-order decay.
A first-order parametric function was used to model activity associated with the different number of events within each trial, due to the varied SOA.
Through those activities, the government has a first-order effect on the allocation of capital and risk in the economy.
k is a first-order rate kinetic constant, which well represents the photocatalytic activity.
Eschewing this conception of philosophy as impossible, the critic of metaphysics believes that philosophy should confine itself to the analysis of concepts, which is a strictly second-order activity independent of science and which need involve no metaphysical commitment.
A) First order contiguity.
