We will turn to those issues in section 3. Recently, it has been argued that reasons for actions cannot be the causes of actions, because reasons are facts or states of affairs, not mental states or events (Dancy 2000; Alvarez 2010).
Thus, cardioplegia cannot be the cause.
So, the source function, especially the source duration time, cannot be the main cause for the B value fluctuation, especially for relatively low-magnitude earthquakes.
Therefore, the various MS markers used cannot be the sole cause for the wide range.
However, we note that this cannot be the only cause for the differences we find.
However, stochasticity cannot be the sole cause for the observed changes, as simulations showed that it is highly unlikely that the strong decrease of FIS we have observed could be attributed to stochastic processes (Fig. 2).
Investigations in mice suggest that a loss of cohesin complex could be responsible (Chiang et al., 2010; Lister et al., 2010), but in humans (Garcia-Cruz et al., 2010) no differences are observed in the levels of meiotic cohesins in oocytes of different ages, indicating that loss of cohesin cannot be the only cause for chromosome nondisjunction in the eggs of aging females.
Competition for nutrients between vegetative and reproductive structures cannot be the primary cause of death, for, in species such as hemp, the male plants which do not produce seeds die earlier than the females under short-day (long-night) conditions.
As phosphoketolase quantities were not directly measured in this study, it cannot be excluded that low protein production is the cause for this inactivity.
The second part (b) of Śāntarakṣita's argument, that love and hatred are different from perception, is intriguing in that he claims that there cannot be an external cause for love and hatred because whatever we might want to postulate as this external object can elicit different feelings in different people.
