One challenging problem that children overcome in learning new words is recognizing the hierarchical category of a label. For instance, one object could be called a Dalmatian, a dog, or an animal. Xu and Tenenbaum (2007) proposed a Bayesian model to explain how 3.5 to 5-year-olds solve this ambiguity. They emphasized children's appreciation for “suspicious coincidences:” a label applied to thre...

We prove the equivalence of many-photon Green functions in statistical quantum field Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) and Klein-GordonFock (KGF) theories using functional path integral formalism for partition functional in statistical quantum (finite temperature) field theory. We also calculate the polarization operators in these theories in oneloop approximation, and demonstrate their coincidence.

According to the impedance spectroscopy data, a significant frequency dispersion of real and imaginary components permittivity was found in intercalated Ag x HfS 2 samples. Using modular formalism, dielectric relaxation times were determined, which decrease magnitude with an increase silver content Their coincidence determined from dependences parts complex shown. Keywords: Intercalates, impeda...

The so called ‘cosmic coincidence’ problem seems to suggest a coupling between dark energy and dark matter. A possibility could be given by dark matter particles with masses depending exponentially on the scalar field associated to dark energy. If the latter also has an exponential potential, attractor solutions exist with constant ΩDM and ΩDE and negative effective equation of state. Due to th...
