This article pursues two tasks. The first is to clarify the value and productivity of Williams’s Keywords: a vocabulary culture society (first edition 1976, second expanded 1983a) for project Cultural Studies. clarification helped, I argue, by reading it alongside Vološinov’s Marxism philosophy language (published in Russian 1929, translated into English 1973). related task speculative developm...

the suppression of color is a common mood in the far eastern aesthetic experience, which is best represented by the brush-ink chinese painting. influenced by the taoist and confucian philosophical doctrines, it reflects the traditional principles of loneliness, poverty, and simplicity. visualizing the chinese traditional dualism, the black and white system goes beyond an artistic style and rese...

We study the development of conjunctive keyword searchable scheme which enables one to search encrypted documents by using more than one keyword. The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

Some philosophers say that you do not think in the primary or nonderivative sense. Rather, they say some item distinct from you (perhaps one of your parts or something of which you are a part) does your thinking for you; you inherit your mental life from that item. In this paper, I argue that this is a mistake. We do not inherit our thoughts in this way. keywords: personal ontology, metaphysics...

Long-term meditating subjects report that transcendental experiences (TE), which first occurred during their Transcendental Meditation (TM) practice, now subjectively co-exist with waking and sleeping states. To investigate neurophysiological correlates of this integrated state, we recorded EEG in these subjects and in two comparison groups during simple and choice contingent negative variation...

Ontology is a term in philosophy and its meaning is “theory of existence''. Ontology is an explicit specification of conceptualization. Ontology is a body of knowledge describing some domain, typically common sense knowledge domain. This paper presents a survey of fifteen papers based on ontology. Discussion is made about ontologies used in web, mining and multi agent systems. Keywords— ontolog...

E motion research has something in common with a drunk searching for his car keys under a street lamp. ‘‘Where did you lose them?’’ asks the cop. ‘‘In the alley,’’ says the drunk, ‘‘but the light is so much better over here.’’ For emotion research, the light shines most brightly on the face, whose movements can be coded, compared across cultures, and quantified by electromyography. All of the ‘...

A position in academia should exist in which tenets of Postmodern thought can be posited on a foundation of faith—a camp in which apologetics is used to test theory, not simply to dispel it. The seeming Postmodern tendency to eschew any sort of unified experience asks necessary questions of conventions that seem antiquated—conventions of social codes regarding gender and race, of social etiquet...

We present transformations relating the third transcendent of Painlevé with parameter sets located at the corners of the Weyl chamber for the symmetry group of the system, the affine Weyl group of the root system B (1) 2 , to those at the origin. This transformation entails a scaling of the independent variable, and implies additive identities for the canonical Hamiltonians and product identiti...
