one may daresay that the foremost issue and problem in translation is to observe “translation equivalence principle” so that the translated text to be the equivalent and all-out mirror against the original text. to obtain this goal, it is perfectly necessary to pay attention to semantic different layers, ranged from referential meaning to empirical, interactive, implicit, meanings, semantic uni...

It is shown that the extra coordinate of 5D induced-matter and membrane theory is related in certain gauges to the inertial rest mass of a test particle. This implies that the Weak Equivalence Principle is a geometric symmetry, valid only in the limit in which the test mass is negligible compared to the source mass. Exact solutions illustrate this, and show the way to possible resolutions of th...

We consider a team problem, with two decision makers for simplicity, where the uncertainties are dealt with in a minimax fashion rather than in a stochastic framework. We do not assume that the players exchange information at any time. Thus new ideas are necessary to investigate that situation. In contrast with the classical literature we do not use necessary conditions, but investigate to what...

We describe space–time fluctuations by means of small fluctuations of the metric on a given background metric. From a minimally coupled Klein–Gordon equation we obtain within a weakfield approximation up to second order and an averaging procedure over a finite space–time scale given by the quantum particle in the non–relativistic limit a modified Schrödinger equation. The dominant modification ...

It has often been claimed that the proposed Earth artificial satellite LARES/WEBER-SAT−whose primary goal is, in fact, the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect at a some percent level−would allow to greatly improve, among (many) other things, the present−day (10) level of accuracy in testing the equivalence principle as well. Recent claims point towards even two orders ...

We investigate the validity of the equivalence principle along paths in gravitational theories based on derivations of the tensor algebra over a differentiable manifold. We prove the existence of local bases, called normal, in which the components of the derivations vanish along arbitrary paths. All such bases are explicitly described. The holonomicity of the normal bases is considered. The res...

In this essay it will be shown that Decoherence Model and Einstein Equivalence Principle are conceptually incompatible. In other words, assuming only the validity of the Weak Equivalence Principle the present work concludes that we face two possibilities: (i) if Decoherence Model provides a correct description of nature at quantum level, then there are systems which violate Local Position Invar...

Testing for the equivalence of two treatments has received attention in recent literature. Solutions typically considered are based on likelihood methods and the intersection-union (IU) principle. The IU principle focuses on the investigation of the equivalence between two treatments; that is a true equivalence has to be identified with a probability converging to one. The goal of this paper is...
