The ocean contains many large-scale, long-lived vortices, called mesoscale eddies, that are believed to have a role in the transport and redistribution of salt, heat, and nutrients throughout the ocean. Determining this role, however, has proven to be a challenge, since the mechanics of eddies are only partly understood; a standard definition for these ocean eddies does not exist and, therefore...

Is it possible to lie despite not saying anyhing false? While the spontaneous answer seems to be ‘no’, there is some evidence from ordinary language that a lie does not require what is said to be believed-false. In this paper, we will argue for a pragmatic extension of the standard definition of lying. More specifically, we will present three experiments which show that people’s concept of lyin...

By the continuous increase of speed and capacity of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) it becomes possible not only to process digital video data by FPGAs in real-time but also to implement the logic of complex video algorithms in one FPGA. For television (TV) studios the adherence to the real-time constraint is a mandatory requirement. Besides the reconfigurability of FPGAs allows the exec...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The most popular recreational pastime in the U.S. is television viewing. Some researchers have claimed that television may be addictive. We provide a review of the definition, etiology, prevention and treatment of the apparent phenomenon of television addiction. METHODS Selective review. RESULTS We provide a description of television (TV) addiction, including its negativ...

considering a) that a number of administrations and organizations throughout the world are currently using and/or evaluating high-definition television systems, and that in many parts of the world HDTV broadcasting is likely to become the primary medium of the next century; b) that subjective assessments are a vital element in HDTV system design and selection; c) that Recommendation ITU-R BT.50...

Background Guidelines from the SCMR board try to standardize the acquisition and post processing protocols for uniform and reproducible analysis of cardiac data. However, for short axis cine acquisition, the definition of the image orientation for data acquisition is not well defined, possibly leading to variation in the evaluation of the Left Ventricular cardiac function. Having a standard def...

The standard definition of cylindrical symmetry in General Relativity is reviewed. Taking the view that axial symmetry is an essential pre-requisite for cylindrical symmetry, it is argued that the requirement of orthogonal transitivity of the isometry group should be dropped, this leading to a new, more general definition of cylindrical symmetry. Stationarity and staticity in cylindrically symm...

The central question in this paper is: Who (or what) constructs anticipations? I challenge the (tacit) assumption of Rosen’s standard definition of anticipatory systems according to which the cognitive system actively constructs a predictive model based on which it carries out anticipations. My arguments show that so-called implicit anticipatory systems are at the root of any other form of anti...
