Standard View

In clinical chemistry, interpretation of the data can be quite simple or complex. In the case of MS/MS applications pertaining to a single analyte, all that is needed is the intensity value from the mass of a peak of interest and its internal standard. Viewing of a spectrum is not necessary. For profile methods such as full-scan acylcarni-tines, amino acids, or other compound families, the interpretation is more complex. With multiple related components, calculation of the concentration of many key metabolites is required. The system generally has multiple internal standards, external standards, or both. In addition to the concentration calculations, examination of a profile is often best achieved by viewing the spectra together with the quantitative information. 

First, valence and core electrons are formally identical however, the separation of valence and core electron density is dictated by the standard view of atomic physics. Thus for an ion at j, coordinates r-hi are assigned to the z z electrons designated as core electrons, the understanding being that the states of the system are such that < r , >1/2 is a small quantity (< a0). 

When the significance and the reliability of the correspondence between theories and experiments are considered, two main alternatives are available. The Standard View, based on the ideas of logical empiricism, assumes that the experiments can confirm a scientific theory, i.e., that they can increase its probability (here intended as logical confidence in its truth, i.e., in its correspondence with the real world). On the contrary, Falsificationism, first proposed by Karl Popper [17], claims that experiments cannot demonstrate the truth of a theory but can only falsify the theory, i.e., demonstrate that a theory is unfit to describe an experimental result.

How do these unconventional ideas link with the standard view of a solid as a close packed array of atoms Evidently most of the frameworks discussed above cannot be so characterised. The two-dimensional hyperbolic picture does break down for very dense structures. Thus the densest four-coordinated silicate, coesite, violates this universality (see Fig. 2.12). (Its ring size is less than that of trid5m[ ite, cristobalite, keatite or quartz, in spite of its higher density.) This polymorph is too dense for a two-dimensional description to be useful and the Aree-dimensional description takes over. The notion of intrinsic curvature is less rigid for silicates than for the other frameworks, because the Si-O-Si angle usually differs from 180 . 

We have already repeatedly emphasized several important fundamental distinctions between the adiabatic PT and the standard view. Despite these distinct differences in physical perspective between adiabatic PT and the standard Westheimer-Melander (W-M) picture, we have emphasized [4] that a remarkable general similarity exists between the two perspectives. For adiabatic PT, the symmetric reac-... 

The adiabatic PT maximum KIE in Fig. 10.10(a) is in the range of KIEs commonly expected in the standard W-M picture, item (iii), but it is somewhat smaller than the higher KIEs 5-10 that one would expect with the standard view. (The argument for this latter range is given in Refs. [12-14]. ) From Eqs. (10.16) and (10.17), the maximum H/D KIE is that of the symmetric reaction... 

The jigsaw-like fit between Africa and South America has been obvious to everyone who has looked at a world map since sufficiently accurate maps became available. Francis Bacon commented on it in 1620, as did many others long before 1912, when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift to explain it. Nonetheless, until the 1960s, the standard view of geophysicists was that the fit was pure coincidence, and they heaped on Wegener s ideas the kind of scorn that is today reserved by virologists for the notion that human immunodeficiency virus may not be responsible for the collection of diseases known as AIDS.

Thus, except for the brief mention of strong closure here, Kim chooses to rely on his weaker notion of closure - i.e. that closure implies only sufficient, but not exclusive, physical causation - in his arguments against nonreductive materialism. Therefore Kim says that physical causal closure does not by itself exclude nonphysical causes, or causal explanations, of physical events (2005 17). According to Kim, it is only when we adopt the exclusion principle in conjunction with closure that nonphysical causes get excluded (2005 17). So Kim does not seem to rely on a view like strong closure or exclusive closure. Kim seems to hold a more standard view that we can accept for our purposes -i.e., that physical causal closure implies that all particular physical events with causes have sufficient physical causes and sufficient physical causal explanations. 

It seems that both a more standard view of closure at L and Kim s view of closure at L (which holds that closure at L implies the irreducibility of L) will fare equally well if matter is not infinitely divisible. If matter is not infinitely divisible and there is a bottom closed level, then there is no problem of drainage, so we do not need to worry about how well each view can deal with drainage worries. And it seems that both views are consistent with what we would say about levels if a bottom closed level exists. 

Can a more standard view of closure at L escape drainage worries ...
