Let me start by thanking Professors Santorio and Szabo for their insightful comments careful readings of Conjoining Meanings (CM). They highlight the main theses describe project in helpful ways.1 So instead multiplying summaries, let say a little about what motivated project. Chomsky was influential. But teaching truth-theoretic semantics, many years, really convinced need different conception...

We present the €rst baŠery-free cellphone design that consumes only a few micro-waŠs of power. Our design can sense speech, actuate the earphones, and switch between uplink and downlink communications, all in real time. Our system optimizes transmission and reception of speech while simultaneously harvesting power which enables the baŠery-free cellphone to operate continuously. Œe baŠery-free d...

Business intelligence (BI) combined with business analytics (BA) is an increasingly prominent strategic objective for many organizations. As a pedagogical subject, BI/BA is still in its infancy, and, in order for this to mature, we need to develop an undergraduate model BI/BA curriculum. BI/BA as an academic domain is emerging as a hybrid of disciplines, including information systems, statistic...

by immunizing mice with killed whole bacterial cells of brucella abortus s (99), a panel of six hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (mab) specific for the surface antigens of this bacterium were produced. elisa was used to screen the hybridoma supernatants. immunoblots of the cell extract indicated that three mab were specific for s-lps (ba-1, ba-2, ba-3) and three others were reactive w...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both Doppler sonography (DS) and spiral CT angiography (CTA) are noninvasive vascular assessment tools with a high potential for application in acute cerebral ischemia. The usefulness of CTA for vascular diagnosis in acute basilar artery (BA) ischemia has not yet been studied. METHODS We prospectively studied 19 patients (mean+/-SD age, 58+/-11 years) with clinically su...

There is a growing interest in pragmatism within organisational and informational studies. Pragmatism has been seen as a viable alternative to positivism and anti-positivism. This paper explores the meanings of pragmatism in terms of implications for how to conduct research on information systems. Its main source of inspiration is the American philosophy of pragmatism. The paper describes the n...

Consider an English sentence of length n, say “Cats like to chase mice” with n = 5. Suppose that we are given a binary tree representing the syntactic structure of the sentence. Each word is a leaf node of the tree, and there are n− 1 internal nodes. Each internal node covers a phrase of two or more consecutive words. We will associate a column vector in R with each node, to represent the meani...

Daniel Hack Tuke first used the word 'psychotherapeutics' in 1872 (Ellenberger, 1970, p. 765). He defined the term psychotherapy in his dictionary (Tuke, 1892), published twenty years later, as 'treatment of disease by the influence of the mind on the body'. Advances in the field of the behavioural sciences and other events in the twentieth century have led to changes in the meanings of psychot...

Entropy is a basic physical quantity that led to various, and sometimes apparently connicting interpretations. It has been successively assimilated to diierent concepts such as disorder and information. In this paper we're going to revisit these conceptions, and establish the three following results: Entropy measures lack of information; it also measures information. These two conceptions are c...
