Defensive Desert
When aiming to justify the infliction of harm upon a culpable wrongdoer, the notion of desert most readily finds its home within the context of punishment. Thus, according to one dominant theory of punishment, retributivism, a wrongdoer deserves the hard treatment constitutive of punishment. In this paper, I argue that desert can play a role in helping justify certain types of defensive action. Specifically, I aim to show how desert‐based reasons…
In defence of natural religion
The dominance of the Abrahamic tradition in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion has led some to call for greater exploration of alternatives to the traditional conception of God, such as Pantheism, Ultimism, and Axiarchism. While we think this call for alternatives is important, we go in a different direction. Rather than explore and defend alternative conceptions of God, we defend a range of fairly traditional but non-religious concepti…

Why there is no obligation to love God
The first and greatest commandment according to Jesus, and so the one most central to Christian practice, is the command to love God. We argue that this commandment is best interpreted in aretaic rather than deontic terms. In brief, we argue that there is no obligation to love God. While bad , failure to seek and enjoy a union of love with God is not in violation of any general moral requirement. The core argument is straightforward: relations of…
Human Consequences of Multiple Nuclear Detonations in New Delhi (India)
The human casualties from simulated nuclear detonation scenarios in New Delhi, India are analyzed, with a focus on the distribution of casualties in urban environments and the theoretical application of a nuclear-specific triage system with significant innovation in interdisciplinary disaster management applicable generally to urban nuclear detonation medical response. Model estimates of nuclear war casualties employed ESRI's ArcGIS 9.3, blast an…
Nuclear war between Israel and Iran
This will cause a very limited medical response initially for survivors in Iran and Israel. Strategic use of surviving medical response and collaboration with international relief could be expedited by the predicted casualty distributions and locations. The consequences for health management of thermal burn and radiation patients is the worst, as burn patients require enormous resources to treat, and there will be little to no familiarity with th…
Somatotype and angiographically determined atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in men
The relationship between somatotype and somatotype components with coronary artery disease (CAD) and regional adiposity was considered in 58 males (age 60.2 +/- 9.4 years) undergoing investigative coronary angiography for suspected atherosclerotic CAD. Severity of CAD was determined in terms of both the degree of stenosis and the anatomical position of the lesions on the coronary arteries (myocardial score). Six patients had negative angiographic…

A Note on Overdifferencing and the Equivalence of Seasonal Time Series Models with Monthly Means and Models with (0,1,1) 12 Seasonal Parts When Q = 1
A Note on Overdifferencing and the Equivalence of Seasonal Time Series Models With Monthly Means and Models With (0, 1, 1) 12 Seasonal Parts When ⊖ = 1
Two general models for monthly seasonal time series are considered, one in which seasonality is modeled with monthly means and another in which seasonality is modeled with a (0, 1, 1)12 ARIMA structure. The models are shown to be equivalent if the seasonal moving average parameter (⊖) is 1 and if the same assumptions about the 12 initial observations are made for both models. The role of the assumptions about the initial observations is analyzed,…
