Such situational definition challenge established educ...

The basic difficulties and challenges of Quantum Mind program are analyzed. The conclusion is that the recent form of quantum theory is not enough to overcome the challenges posed by the philosophical problems of quantum physics and quantum mind theories, and the puzzles of quantum biology and quantum neuroscience. Certain anomalies of recent day biology giving hints about how quantum theory sh...

In knowledge representation several formalisms for reasoning about knowledge in a multi agent scenario have been proposed. More speciically, we can identify a family of languages based on the use of a modal operator and another one based on the use of rst-order logic enriched with meta-level capabilities. In this paper we consider these two approaches by addressing the issues of consistency tha...

Causal loops are loops in cause-effect chains: An effect can be the cause of that effect’s cause. We show that causal loops can be unproblematic, and explore them from different points of view. This thesis is motivated by quantum theory, general relativity, and quantum gravity. By accepting all of quantum theory one can ask whether the possibility to take superpositions extends to causal struct...

1. General The research reported in this paper is part of a project called " Animacy in typology and discourse ". 1 One of the aims of this project is to investigate the role of the notion of animacy in different parts of grammar, and gender is one of the most obvious places where animacy shows up. The aim of this paper, then, is twofold. One is to consider some generalizations about gender sys...

The idea to use choice functions in the semantic analysis of indefinites has recently gained increasing attention among linguists and logicians. A central linguistic motivation for the revived interest in this logical perspective, which can be traced back to the epsilon calculus of Hilbert & Bernays (1939), is the observation by Reinhart (1992, 1997) that choice functions can account for the pr...

Introduction Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1:25,000. PWS results from defective gene expression on the paternal copy chromosome 15. In 70% cases it deletion that means part 15 missing. Maternal uniparental disomy (mUPD) present in 25% cases. Typical clinical features are dysmorphism, hypotonia, hyperphagia, hypogonadism and developmental delay...

Human identity is not a self-contained entity, hidden in the depths of our inner self, but is actively constructed in a social world with the aid of various expressions, such as social roles, rituals, clothes, music, and (life) stories. These expressions not only mediate between us and our world (referentiality) and between us and our fellow man (communicability), but also between us and oursel...

All Hebbian rules which are discussed in the literature of neuromorphic nets are embedded within the principle of ultrametricity corresponding directly to hierarchical structures. In order to describe and to model simultaneously distributed parallel neural activities as they occur in heterarchically organized systems (self-referentiality) which cannot be linearized, a formal system for an adequ...

Declaration I declare that this essay is work done as part of the Part III Examination. It is the result of my own work, and except where stated otherwise, includes nothing which was performed in collaboration.
