A real aether model of the vacuum proposed by Allen Rothwarf(1) based upon a degenerate Fermion fluid, composed of polarizable particle-antiparticle pairs, leads to a big bang model of the universe where the velocity of light varies inversely with the square root of the cosmological time. Here this model is used to determine the time dependence of certain fundamental constants, i.e., permittivi...

We study the evolution of fronts in a bistable equation with time-delayed global feedback in the fast reaction and slow diffusion regime. This equation generalizes the Hodgkin-Grafstein and Allen-Cahn equations. We derive a nonlinear equation governing the motion of fronts, which includes a term with delay. In the one-dimensional case this equation is linear. We study the motion of one- and two...

This report describes a new algorithm for table-driven parsing with arbitrary context-free grammars. The algorithm provides a framework in which a variety of parser control strategies can be freely specified: bottom-up strategies, top-down strategies, and strategies that strike a balance between the two. The algorithm thus combines the flexibility of chart parsing with the low overhead of table...

The history of the philosophy thought experiments (TEs) has touched on work Kuhn, Popper, Duhem, Mach, Lakatos, and other big names twentieth-century. But so far, almost nothing been written about Paul Feyerabend. His most influential was Against Method, eight chapters which concern Galileo, with a significant focus Galileo’s TEs. later Feyerabend interested in what might be called epistemology...

With a very long history, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a rich knowledge about human health and disease by its special way. To avoid losing lots of precious knowledge of TCM masters, endeavors have been engaged to keep down those knowledge of TCM masters, such as their growth experiences, effective practical cases toward sickness and typical treating methods and principles. In this pap...
