Silent performances: Are “repertoires” really post-Kuhnian?

Ankeny and Leonelli (2016) propose “repertoires” as a new way to understand the stability of certain research programs as well as scientific change in general. By bringing a more complete range of social, material, and epistemic elements into one framework, they position their work as a correction to the Kuhnian impulse in philosophy of science and other areas of science studies. I argue that this “post-Kuhnian” move is not complete, and that repertoires maintain an internalist perspective. Comparison with an alternative framework, the “sociotechnical imaginaries” of Jasanoff and Kim (2015), illustrates precisely which elements of practice are externalized by Ankeny and Leonelli. Specifically, repertoires discount the role of audience, without whom the repertoires of science are unintelligible, and lack an explicit place for ethical and political imagination, which provide meaning for otherwise mechanical promotion of particular research programs. This comparison reveals, I suggest, two distinct modes of scholarship, one internalist and the other critical. While repertoires can be modified to meet the needs of critical STS scholars and to completely reject Kuhn's internalism, whether or not we do so depends on what we want our scholarship to achieve.

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of Mount Kilimanjaro: Nymphalidae subfamilies Libytheinae,Danainae, Satyrinae and Charaxinae

This paper, which presents an annotated checklist of the ‘lower Nymphalidae’ (Libytheinae, Danainae, Satyrinae, Charaxinae), is the fourth in a series on the butterfly fauna of Mount Kilimanjaro. Four genera of lower Nymphalidae (Danaus, Amauris, Bicyclus, Charaxes), with a total of 11 included species, are known or believed to occur within the main forest zone, from c. 1800 to 2800 m. Of these, only three species of Charaxes (Charaxes berkeleyi, Charaxes ansorgei, Charaxes xiphares) may be restricted locally to this primary forest. The lower slopes fauna, below 1800 m, is considerably richer, with a total of 11 genera and 41 species listed (8 species of which extend into the forest zone). Possible additional species, dubious earlier records, problems with African subspecies of Danaus chrysippus, a need for more work on certain Satyrinae, and classification of the genus Charaxes are discussed. An identification key to the subfamilies of Nymphalidae, and the 19 genera of Libytheinae, Danainae, Satyrinae, Charaxinae that occur in Tanzania, together with a key to the adults of all the species of these four subfamilies considered to occur or have occurred on Kilimanjaro, with 206 colour images, are included as online Supplementary Information.     

高温时H13钢中初生碳氮化物的分解研究

利用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和电子探针研究了H13钢中初生碳氮化物高温分解时的形貌、尺寸、成分变化规律.原始初生碳氮化物主要为10~30μm的长条状(Vx,Mo1-x)(Cy,N1-y)及少量方形的(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y).在1200℃保温2.5 h后碳氮化物边缘变为凹凸不平的锯齿状,然后形成细小的分解颗粒,10 h后碳氮化物平均长度减小为12.9μm,主要为(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y).当经过1250℃ ×5 h保温后87%的碳氮化物发生分解,(Vx,Mo1-x)(Cy,N1-y)溶解消失,碳氮化物长度在20μm以下,当保温时间延长到10 h后碳氮化物长度均在10μm以下,70%为方形并且93%分解形成细小颗粒,未分解的碳氮化物为(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y).电子探针分析(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)的分解与Fe元素扩散有关,高温时Fe在(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)中含量逐渐增加而Ti、V减少,优先在边部曲率半径较小部位或缺陷处分解,形成0.1~1μm的细小分解颗粒,并由外向内以区域溶解方式使原始碳氮化物逐渐消失.双亚点阵模型分析两种碳氮化物的平衡溶解温度和组成有关,试样中大部分(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)平衡溶解温度在1200~1246℃之间,与实验吻合较好.     

胰岛素受体底物1和2的氨基酸网络特征研究

在胰岛素对脂质代谢的调控作用中,胰岛素受体底物2(IRS2)比胰岛素受体底物1(IRS1)发挥了更加重要的作用。为研究两者发挥作用的差异,分别选择IRS1、IRS2的4个结构数据,构建氨基酸相互作用网络,计算整体拓扑特征,分析网络的hub氨基酸差异,计算7种中心性特征。实验表明,IRS2氨基酸相互作用网络的平均度及聚类系数高于IRS1的1QQG、5U1M、6BNT;IRS2中的hub氨基酸ATP、LYS、ILE是IRS1所没有的;除子图中心性和特征向量中心性外,IRS2网络中节点的其他中心性特征均优于IRS1。结果表明,IRS2的氨基酸相互作用网络中,节点聚集程度较高,更容易形成模块,更容易到达其他节点,与其他节点发生通讯。可以推测:IRS2在胰岛素对肝脏的代谢调控中比IRS1发挥着更加重要的作用。     

考虑车辆间交互作用的驾驶意图预测方法

准确的意图预测可以帮助智能车辆更好地了解周围环境并做出更加安全的决策，从而提高自动驾驶的安全性，促进人机协同驾驶。为了对驾驶员未来的意图做出更加精准的预测，提出了一种交互式意图预测方法。首先，通过将隐马尔可夫模型（HMM）与高斯混合模型（GMM）相结合，在充分考虑周围场景信息后建立了行为识别模型，用于对当前的驾驶行为做出准确的判断。然后，考虑到交通场景复杂多变的特点，提出基于意图的轨迹预测方法规划出一条最佳的行驶轨迹，并采用最大期望效用理论对未来的驾驶行为进行推理。由于行为识别和意图推理模型综合考虑了交通态势的演变过程和车辆之间的交互作用，所以将两个模型得到的结果相结合可得到车辆最终预测出的驾驶意图。最后，在NGSIM数据集对所提出的方法进行验证，结果表明提出的行为识别模型能够提前0.2~0.3 s识别出车辆的换道意图，结合未来意图推理模型，能够更加准确地预测出车辆未来的驾驶行为，由此可提高车辆驾驶的安全性。

Scientific progress as increasing verisimilitude

According to the foundationalist picture, shared by many rationalists and positivist empiricists, science makes cognitive progress by accumulating justified truths. Fallibilists, who point out that complete certainty cannot be achieved in empirical science, can still argue that even successions of false theories may progress toward the truth. This proposal was supported by Karl Popper with his notion of truthlikeness or verisimilitude. Popper’s own technical definition failed, but the idea that scientific progress means increasing truthlikeness can be expressed by defining degrees of truthlikeness in terms of similarities between states of affairs. This paper defends the verisimilitude approach against Alexander Bird who argues that the “semantic” definition (in terms of truth or truthlikeness alone) is not sufficient to define progress, but the “epistemic” definition referring to justification and knowledge is more adequate. Here Bird ignores the crucial distinction between real progress and estimated progress, explicated by the difference between absolute (and usually unknown) degrees of truthlikeness and their evidence-relative expected values. Further, it is argued that Bird’s idea of returning to the cumulative model of growth requires an implausible trick of transforming past false theories into true ones.     

1986-2007年中国耕地面积时空变化分析

根据统计数据,运用逐步回归方法分析了我国1986-2007年耕地面积的时空变化规律及影响因素.结果表明:中国耕地面积和人均耕地面积一直在减少,1999年以后减速加快.以1996年为界线,中国耕地面积从1980-1990年东部部分省份锐减、中西部大部分省份增加的格局转变为1996-2007年的西部锐减、中部次之,东部减速缓慢的格局.1986-1996年耕地面积减少的主要因素是城市人口和人口自然增长率,1996-2007年主要因素是第二产业产值、全国总户数,1986-2007年主要是城市人口、第二产业总产值、乡镇企业增加值及耕地总量平衡政策的发展.
