An examination of the contributions that can be made by the field of non-mechanistic cybernetics (as elaborated by Gregory Bateson and Anthony Wilden) to a theory of videogames that views them as complex open systems in dynamic relation to players. Bateson, observing animal play, suggests that the playful nip has a complex relation to the earnest bite. This paper contends that the relation of p...

We discuss measures, invariant measures on definable groups, and genericity, often in an NIP (failure of the independence property) environment. We complete the proof of the third author’s conjectures relating definably compact groups G in saturated o-minimal structures to compact Lie groups. We also prove some other structural results about such G, for example the existence of a left invariant...

We prove that many properties and invariants of definable groups in NIP theories, such as definable amenability, G/G00, etc., are preserved when passing to the theory of the Shelah expansion by externally definable sets, Mext, of a model M . In the light of these results we continue the study of the “definable topological dynamics” of groups in NIP theories. In particular we prove the Ellis gro...

Mobilität und Multi-Homing sind eng verwandte Probleme, die auf das semantisch überladene Adressierungsschema des Internet Protokolls (IP) zurückzuführen sind. Die Auftrennung der im IP-Adressierungsschema eingebetteten Funktionalitäten und deren Integration in separate Adressteile ist vielversprechend, um Mobilität und Multi-homing zu unterstützen. In dieser Arbeit wird das Node-oriented Inter...

Abstract We present a systematic study of the regularity phenomena for NIP hypergraphs and connections to theory (locally) generically stable measures, providing model-theoretic hypergraph version results Alon-Fischer-Newman Lov\'asz-Szegedy graphs bounded VC-dimension. also consider two extremal cases distal hypergraphs, improving generalizing corresponding in literature. Finally, we related q...

The generation of renewable H2 through an efficient photochemical route requires photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from a light harvester to an efficient electrocatalyst in water. Here, we report on a molecular H2 evolution catalyst (NiP) with a DuBois-type [Ni(P2(R')N2(R"))2](2+) core (P2(R')N2(R") = bis(1,5-R'-diphospha-3,7-R"-diazacyclooctane), which contains an outer coordination sphere w...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS To evaluate the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) a population-based cross-sectional seroepidemiological study was performed in the Netherlands. We assessed diphtheria antitoxin levels in the general Dutch population and in low vaccination coverage (LVC) areas where a relatively high proportion of orthodox Protestants live who decline vaccination based on religious groun...

Development of efficient and stable electrodes for hydrogen oxygen evolution from water constituted abundant elements prepared by sustainable scalable procedures is considerable importance producing green renewable electricity. Herein, a method the preparation Ni 2 P, Fe FeP supported on N-doped graphene (NiP/NG FeP/NG) reported. The procedure uses metal salts, phosphorous oxide, chitosan as pr...
