army with a gratuity in 1947, paid for inside information about horse racing and 'lived like a king for six months'. Then he got greedy and didn't pay enough for the tips, lost all his money and had to take a job at an auctioneers. He stole clothes and shoes from the sale room so that he could bet his wages with the street bookmaker. He married in 1950 and vividly remembers the staff collection...

It is known that any explicit averaging scheme of the type essential for describing the large scale behaviour of the Universe, must necessarily yield corrections to the Einstein equations applied in the Cosmological setting. The question of whether or not the resulting corrections to the Einstein equations are significant, is still a subject of debate, partly due to possible ambiguities in the ...

The desire to understand and interpret the underlying mechanisms involved in creation reception of literary texts, influence these on human cognition goes back at least Aristotle’s Poetics. However, last century has witnessed a vast variety approaches understanding literature: plethora theories such as feminist, post colonialist, queer reader response well some practical ways analysis interpret...

In late 2011 Turing Award winner Peter Naur published an extremely interesting book [23] in the form of an interview. The book strongly criticizes formalist computer science. Naur’s characterization of computational thinking is superior to previous criticisms because he understands that computer science has become ”cognitive information processing”. Naur states ”mental life during the twentieth...

We review and clarify the sufficient conditions for uniquely defining the generalized weak value as the weak limit of a conditioned average using the contextual values formalism introduced in Dressel J, Agarwal S and Jordan A N 2010 Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 240401. We also respond to criticism of our work in [arXiv:1105.4188v1] concerning a proposed counter-example to the uniqueness of the definiti...

Film criticism has been carried out in the form of activities since its inception, which many outstanding intellectuals and artists have participated.Especially this respect, European can contrast with American intellectuals, who long held films contempt. “In Europe, fascinated by filmmaking beginning their media,” writes Tim Bewart Thomas Szobak.It is not surprising, therefore, that 1920s, thr...

This paper is an attempt to apply the reasoning principles and calculational style underlying the so-called Bird-Meertens formalism to the design of process calculi, parametrized by a behaviour model. In particular, basically equational and pointfree proofs of process properties are given, relying on the universal characterisation of anamorphisms and therefore avoiding the explicit construction...

We show how wavelet techniques allow to derive irregularity properties of functions on two particular examples: Lacunary Fourier series and some Gaussian random processes. Then, we work out a general derivation of the multifractal formalism in the sequence setting, and derive some of its properties.
