Not all physicians received the same identical set of questions, as some were contingent on whether the physician had seen patients with FM in the last 2 years.
These findings suggest that the roles of ventral striatal subregions in behavioral interaction with contingent amphetamine (as primary reward) are not identical to their roles in behavioral interaction with unconditioned visual stimuli facilitated by noncontingent amphetamine.

It follows that if H and non-H are real but contingent properties of two divine beings, they are neither identical with nor equivalent to D. The argument from simplicity thus fails because it leaves open the possibility that two gods could be distinguished by a difference in their real contingent properties.
Contingent identity then makes sense, since "I and my body might not have been identical" now translates into counterpart theory as "There is a possible world, w, a unique personal counterpart x in w of me and a unique bodily counterpart y in w of my body, such that x and y are not identical".
God also appears to have (real) contingent properties, however, and, if he does, these properties can't be identical with or equivalent to his essential properties.
The gaze-contingent Spotlight technique showed that, independently of culture, observers rely on identical information to recognize faces.
Presumably, Yahoo's DFS offerings would legally be considered identical to their legacy year-long cash leagues, as success in both cases are at least partially contingent upon factors outside of user's control.
