Let S be the von Neumann entropy of a finite ensemble E of pure quantum states. We show that S may be naturally viewed as a function of a set of geometrical volumes in Hilbert space defined by the states and that S is monotonically increasing in each of these variables. Since S is the Schumacher compression limit of E , this monotonicity property suggests a geometrical interpretation of the qua...

Author's self-concept within our meaning is the self-presentation of rhymes in the content-related structure and reveals itself in the context of intentional interpretation of the poetic text, i.e. decoding the subject-matter and ideology rooted in it, complex of imageries and symbolic components. Hitting a target in seeking the key to the author’s self-concept is undertaken through the c...

A major issue in the study of semantic Web services concerns the matching problem of Web services. Various techniques for this problem have been proposed. Typical ones include FSM modeling, DAML-S ontology matching, description logics reasoning, and WSDL dual operation composition. They often assume the availability of concept semantic relations, based on which the capability satisfiability is ...

in this article, the author deals with the critical study of rorty and gadamer's doctrines on truth through analyzing its undesirable epistemological and political consequences. rorty denies truth and believes that it is merely the indicator of sentences specification. but gadamer does not deny truth and believes it is as event of appearance which flourishes from within the dialogue and ma...
