Recent evidence suggests that multisensory integration of bodily signals involving exteroceptive and interoceptive information modulates bodily aspects of self-consciousness such as self-identification and self-location. In the so-called Full Body Illusion subjects watch a virtual body being stroked while they perceive tactile stimulation on their own body inducing illusory self-identification ...

We define very proper intersections of modules and projective subschemes. It turns out that equidimensional locally Cohen-Macaulay modules intersect very properly if and only if they intersect properly. We prove a Bezout theorem for modules which meet very properly. Furthermore, we show for equidimensional subschemes X and Y : If they intersect properly in an arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subsc...

In this paper we answer a question raised in [Mol] by giving an example of a proper standard C∗-subalgebra of B(H) whose automorphism and isometry groups are topologically reflexive. After this we prove that in the case of extensions of the C∗-algebra C(H) of all compact operators by separable commutative C∗algebras, these groups are algebraically reflexive. Concerning the most well-known exten...

The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for "he" (, with semantic radical , meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while the character for "she" (, with semantic radical , meaning woman) indicates females only. This critical feature could result in different patterns of processing of gender informati...

My epistemic goal in this lecture will be the simplest form of phenomenal selfconsciousness: I want to contribute to a deeper understanding of nonconceptual, pre-reflexive layers in conscious selfrepresentation. Conceptually, I will defend the claim that agency is not part of the metaphysically necessary supervenience-basis for bodily self-consciousness. On the level of new empirical data I wan...

From 1990 on, the London psychologist Max Velmans developed a novel approach to (phenomenal) consciousness according to which an experience of an object is phenomenologically identical to an object as experienced. On the face of it I agree; but unlike Velmans I argue that the latter should be understood as comparable, not to a Kantian, but rather to a noematic ‘phenomenon’ in the Husserlian sen...

In this paper, the notions of anti-reflexive kernel, symmetric kernel, reflexive closure, and symmetric closure of a soft set relation are first introduced, respectively. Then, their accurate calculation formulae and some properties are obtained. Finally, soft set relation mappings and inverse soft set relationmappings are proposed, and some related properties are discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd...

Let 1 < q < p < ∞ and q ≤ r ≤ p. Let X be a reflexive Banach space satisfying a lower-lq-tree estimate and let T be a bounded linear operator from X which satisfies an upper-lp-tree estimate. Then T factors through a subspace of ( ∑ Fn)lr , where (Fn) is a sequence of finite-dimensional spaces. In particular, T factors through a subspace of a reflexive space with an (lp, lq) FDD. Similarly, let...
