Razones a favor de una interpretación material del condicional by Miguel López-Astorga

“…El debate, de hecho, llega hasta nuestros días y dos teorías cognitivas contemporáneas, la teoría de la lógica mental y la teoría de los modelos mentales, presentan visiones encontradas al respecto. Según la primera de ellas, el condicional, sin duda, no es material, pero, aunque no lo afirma explícitamente, la segunda parece atribuirle inicialmente características consistentes con tal interpretación. …”

The Effects of Temperature and Impact Velocity on the Shock Wave Response of Pore-Embedded Metallic Glasses by Indrajit Patra, Ahmed M. Abdulhadi, Fatima Safaa Fahim, Bashar S. Bashar, Taif Alawsi, Mohammad Salmani

“…It was also found that the increase in the impact velocity led to the filling of pore, which was due to the structural softening and the local temperature increment in the vicinity of pore. Moreover, the spall event originated from the formation and coalescence of tension transformation zones, leading to the formation of nanovoids in the system. …”

Thermodynamics of the Classical Planar Ferromagnet Close to the Zero-Temperature Critical Point: A Many-Body Approach by L. S. Campana, A. Cavallo, L. De Cesare, U. Esposito, A. Naddeo

“…Remarkably, for d>2 the discrimination between the two cases is found to be related to the different values of the shift exponent which governs the behavior of the critical line in the vicinity of the zero-temperature critical point. The observation of different values of the shift-exponent and of the related critical exponents along thermodynamic paths within the typical V-shaped region in the phase diagram may be interpreted as a signature of emerging quantum critical fluctuations.…”
