According 15-eg1053cl to the established understanding of the Frege-Geach problem, it is a challenge exclusively for metaethical expressivism.In this paper, I argue that it is much wider in scope: The problem applies generally to views according to which moral sentences express moral judgments entailing that one is for or against something, irrespe

During infection, pneumococci exist mainly in sessile biofilms rather than in planktonic form, except during sepsis.However, relatively little is known about how biofilms contribute to pneumococcal pathogenesis.Here, we carried out a biofilm assay on opaque and transparent variants of a clinical serotype 19F strain WCH159.After 4 days incubation, s

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are a proven technology for energy storage systems, mobile electronics, power tools, aerospace, automotive and maritime applications.LiBs have attracted interest from academia and industry due to their high power and energy densities compared to other battery technologies.Despite the extensive usage of LiBs, there is a
