Ethical reasoning in baccalaureate nursing students.
29 Jun 2009 
Nurses are encountering an increasing number of ethical dilemmas in clinical practice. Ethics courses for baccalaureate nursing students provide the opportunity for the development of critical thinking skills in order to deal with these effectively. ...

Habitual size and projective size: the logic of spatial systems in children's drawings.
29 Jun 2009 The current study analyzed figure size modification in different types of spatial context (C. Lange-Küttner, 1997, Lange-Küttner, 2004) for sequence and practice effects. Children of 7, 9, and 11 years of age, as well as 17-year-olds, drew figures ...

29 Jun 2009 When individuals detect an inconsistency in a set of propositions, they tend to change their minds about at least one proposition to resolve the inconsistency. The orthodox view from William James (1907) onward has been that a rational change should ...

Disjunctive illusory inferences and how to eliminate them.
29 Jun 2009 The mental model theory of reasoning postulates that individuals construct mental models of the possibilities in which the premises of an inference hold and that these models represent what is true but not what is false. An unexpected consequence of ...

Neural activity in the human brain signals logical rule identification.
22 Jun 2009 To select an appropriate action, we conform to a behavioral rule determined uniquely in each behavioral context. If the rule is not predetermined and must be discovered, we often test hypotheses concerning rules by applying one candidate rule after ...

A programming language for composable DNA circuits.
15 Jun 2009 Recently, a range of information-processing circuits have been implemented in DNA by using strand displacement as their main computational mechanism. Examples include digital logic circuits and catalytic signal amplification circuits that function ...

Mathematical logic in the human brain: syntax.
26 May 2009 
Theory predicts a close structural relation of formal languages with natural languages. Both share the aspect of an underlying grammar which either generates (hierarchically) structured expressions or allows us to decide whether a sentence is ...

Analysis of functional genomic signals using the XOR gate.
17 May 2009 Modeling gene regulatory networks requires recognition of active transcriptional sites in the genome. For this reason, we present a novel approach for inferring active transcriptional regulatory modules in a genome using an established systems model ...

Appropriate methodologies for empirical bioethics: it's all relative.
29 Apr 2009 In this article we distinguish between philosophical bioethics (PB), descriptive policy orientated bioethics (DPOB) and normative policy oriented bioethics (NPOB). We argue that finding an appropriate methodology for combining empirical data and ...

How experience confronts ethics.
29 Apr 2009 Analytic moral philosophy's strong divide between empirical and normative restricts facts to providing information for the application of norms and does not allow them to confront or challenge norms. So any genuine attempt to incorporate experience ...
