Novel methods of analyzing and displaying the data are described. The probable source of a systematic error in an earlier scattering study of K+ and Ar is identified. Our potential agrees well with other work on this system.

This method has the advantage that essentially all of the information obtained from the trajectories is retained in the expansion; consequently, the resolution of the density functions is high. A smoothing technique using a Gaussian filter is also presented. The results are applied to a quasiclassical study of the F+H2 reaction, and new insights are obtained for this reaction.

Various definitions of miracle are considered from the point of view of both Christianity and the religious traditions of China. Hume's argument against the possibility of miracles is then considered within the context of a realist epistemology. The author suggests that the argument should lead religious persons to be very careful in accepting miraculous claims. At the same time, to rule out the possibility of ”one-time” happenings, whether in science (such as the origin of the universe or the beginning of life on this planet) or within a religious tradition (the creation of the universe or the resurrection of Jesus) would seem to undercut the possibility of any unified understanding whether scientific or religious.

Lonergan defines emergence as the process in which “otherwise coincidental manifolds of lower conjugate acts invite the higher integration effected by higher conjugate forms” (Insight, [1957] 1992, 477). The meaning and implications of Lonergan's concept of emergence are considered in the context of the problem of reductionism in the natural sciences. Examples are taken primarily from physics, chemistry, and biology.
