A Hybrid Theory of Induction
In this thesis I motivate and develop a Hybrid Theory of Induction (HTI), and I explore some of its virtues and implications. The HTI is a hybrid second-order model of inductive support. It is a hybrid model of inductive support because it holds that two ingredients play a necessary role in …

A Hybrid Theory of Global Justice
… level? In my dissertation, I develop an original theory of global justice that can answer these questions and I show how my theory applies to current problems. I start by articulating why we need a theory of international justice and introducing the theories that have already been proposed. I …

A Neurophysiological Approach to Differentiate Core Disgust and Moral Disgust
… evidence appeared to support a hybrid theory of the relation between core disgust and moral disgust, suggesting reactivity to bodily moral disgust stimuli is similar to core disgust reaction patterns and reactivity to non-bodily moral disgust stimuli is similar to that of anger. …

MacKinder meets Buzan: A Geopolitical Extension to Security complex Theory with an emphasis on the Polar Regions
… and regional levels. Regional security complex theory is a methodological attempt to explain why traditional – military and political – security interdependencies trigger the aggregation of geographically contiguous states into regional groupings defined by the social condition of amity or …

Vapor phase clustering model for water
… minor details, with the crucial element of the theory being the derivation of the free energy of formation of the clusters. The clusters are viewed as well-defined incompressible spherical droplets which possess bulk properties. Such considerations do not take into account the details of the …

Single and multiple electromagnetic scattering by dielectric obstacles from a resonance perspective
… This application combines the classical theory of wave propagation through a multiple scattering environment and the SEM. Since the SEM is generally considered a theory for surface currents on conducting scatterers, extensions are made which permit, under certain conditions, a singularity …

Study of artificially disordered optical fibers
… elements of the dielectric tensor. Third, a hybrid theory to describe propagation in a fiber with a spatially correlated disorder is developed. The proposed theory treats the deterministic part of the light via coupled-amplitude equations, and the randomly-phased component with coupled-power …

Taming the impossible
… have proved to be obstacles to a satisfactory theory of conditionals. In my dissertation, which consists of two parts, I propose a new approach to the impossible that yields an improved theory of conditionals. A prominent response to the semantic paradoxes is glut theory. Glut theorists avoid …

Personal identity and persistence over time : the hybrid view with regard to hylomorphism
… that brings the rival accounts together in a hybrid notion of personal identity. This thesis elaborates and argues for such a hybrid theory of personal identity. The thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 begins with an inquiry into the historical roots of the problem of personal …
