To understand the dynamics of urban growth, there is a fundamental and pertinent question about migration which holds place prominence in geographical analysis population change an area. Migration most to understanding continuously changing space content relationship Migrants tend move from areas lower economic opportunity those higher opportunity. Internal very important component structure Ar...

Hygiene facilitates the implementation of reliable macros but does not guarantee it. In this note we review the introspective capabilities of macros, discuss the problems caused by abusing this power, and suggest a few principles for designing well-behaved macros.

Yitzhak Rabin was a unique man in so many ways. He was introspective and analytical, incisive and sagacious, discerning and decisive. He could be boldly forthright and extraordinarily self-effacing. His intellectual integrity could cut like a scalpel. As a soldier he was a brilliant strategist and as a peace maker he was a visionary. His courage was rock-like. He was a rare leader of Israel and...

Recent theoretical advances describing consciousness from information and integration have highlighted the unique role of the thalamocortical system in leading to integrated information and thus, consciousness. Here, we examined the differential distributions of specific and nonspecific thalamocortical functional connections using resting-state fMRI in a group of healthy subjects and vegetative...

A fashionable view in comparative psychology states that primates possess self-awareness because they exhibit mirror self-recognition (MSR), which in turn makes it possible to infer mental states in others (“Theory-of-Mind”; ToM). In cognitive neuroscience, an increasingly popular position holds that the right hemisphere represents the center of self-awareness because MSR and ToM tasks presumab...

We expand on previous work with the Hybrid Introspective Robot Modeling (HIRM) algorithm, which is an algorithm that develops introspective models of robots with real-world experience. These introspective models that are developed by this algorithm can then be used to accurately plan behaviors in simulation. HIRM is important because using current machine learning techniques to autonomously dev...
