Introduction: according to the ethology theory mother infant separation immediately after birth can interfere with the infants innate behaviors for the initiation of breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to the effect of an interventional program based on the Theory of Ethology on infant breast feeding competence Materials and Methods: 114 primiparous, Iranian, healthy, full term mothers bet...

In a previous paper a theory of program size formally identical to information theory was developed. The entropy of an individual finite object was defined to be the size in bits of the smallest program for calculating it. It was shown that this is − log2 of the probability that the object is obtained by means of a program whose successive bits are chosen by flipping an unbiased coin. Here a th...

compound (n,n-bis (salicylidene) 1,2-diaminophenylene) was prepared by condensation of ethanolsolution of 2-hydroxybanzaldehyde and 1,2-diaminophenylene. the compound was characterized by1h nmr, infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) data and analytical data. the geometrical parameters andenergies have been obtained from density functional theory (dft) b3lyp method and hartree-fock (hf) method with 3-21...

The information-theoretic point of view proposed by Leibniz in 1686 and developed by algorithmic information theory (AIT) suggests that mathematics and physics are not that different. This will be a first-person account of some doubts and speculations about the nature of mathematics that I have entertained for the past three decades, and which have now been incorporated in a digital philosophy ...

We describe an envisionment-based simulation program The program beaN some design similarities to Kuipers’ QSIM algorithm, hut differs in the underlying ontology and in the implemented theory in the envisioning process. The program implements part of an axiomatic, first order theory that has been developed to represent and reason about space and time. Topological information is extracted from t...

QuickSpec is a theory exploration system which tests a Haskell program to find equational properties of it, automatically. The equations can be used to help understand the program, or as lemmas to help prove the program correct. QuickSpec is largely automatic: the user just supplies the functions to be tested and QuickCheck data generators. Previous theory exploration systems, including earlier...
