Abstract: Some people automatically and involuntarily ”see” mental images of numbers in spatial arrays when they think of numbers. This phenomenon, called number forms, shares three key characteristics with the other types of synaesthesiae, within-individual consistency, between-individual variety, and mixture of regularity and randomness. An experiment was conducted to investigate whether ment...

Prediction of nuclear products both for metaldeuterium systems and metal protium systems is made on the basic physics of cold fusion by the TSC (tetrahedral symmetric condensate) theory. This paper focuses on final state nuclear reactions of intermediate compound states as 8Be* of 4D/TSC fusion and 4Li* of 4H/TSC WS fusion. Prediction of final products is made by the nucleon-halo model of the h...

Over the years a number of powerful people detectors have been proposed. While it is standard to test complete detectors on publicly available datasets, it is often unclear how the di erent components (e.g. features and classi ers) of the respective detectors compare. Therefore, this paper contributes a systematic comparison of the most prominent and successful people detectors. Based on this e...
