Deformation behaviour of light metal alloys,Taking seriously the arguments of Earman, Roberts and Smith that . laws have no semantics and cannot be tested, I suggest that . claims have a kind of formal pragmatics, and that at least some of them can be verified or refuted in the limit.

Rudolf Scharping,Joachim Hofmann-G?ttigf all scientific theories currently on offer are merely CP. We argue here that one of the common props of such a thesis, that there are numerous examples of CP laws in physics, is false. Moreover, besides the absence of genuine examples from physics, we suggest that otherwise unproblematic claims ar

micronutrients

Plasticity of light metal alloys,n mistaken assumptions about the role of laws in explanation and their relation to causal claims. Moreover, the major proposals in the literature for the analysis of . laws are, on their own terms, complete failures. I sketch a more adequate alternative account of the content of causal generalizatio

Cupidity

Specific heat of light metal alloys,in these domains are exception-ridden, being contingent on the presence of the appropriate conditions and the absence of interfering factors. I argue that the . strategy obscures rather than illuminates the important similarities and differences between representations of causal regularities in the

詞匯表

Flow stress of light metal alloys, rather different meanings. I distinguish between (1.) . CP-laws and (2.) . CP-laws. There exist also . CP-laws, which contain a comparative and an exclusive CP-clause. Exclusive CP-laws may be either (2.1) ., (2.2) . or (2.3) .. While CP-laws of kind (2.1) and (2.2) exhibit deductivistic behaviour,
