At its most fundamental, cognition as displayed by biological agents (such as humans) may be described as being the manipulation and utilisation of memory. A low-level approach to the associative sensory-motor development of cognition is then appropriate, rather than the more common higher-level functional approach. A novel theoretical framework – the memory-based cognitive framework (MBCF) – i...

Stemmers have many applications in natural language processing and some fields such as information retrieval. Many algorithms have been proposed for stemming. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for Persian language. Our algorithm is a bottom up algorithm that is capable to reorganize without changing the implementation. Our experiments show that the proposed algorithm has a suitable resu...

Wikipedia can be considered as an extreme form of a self-managing team, as a means of labour division. One could expect that this bottom-up approach, with the absense of top-down organisational control, would lead to a chaos, but our analysis shows that this is not the case. In the Dutch Wikipedia, an integrated and coherent data structure is created, while at the same time users succeed in dis...

We present a bottom-up approach to the question of supersymmetry breaking in the MSSM. Starting with the experimentally measurable low-energy supersymmetry-breaking parameters, which can take any values consistent with present experimental constraints, we evolve them up to an arbitrary high energy scale. Approximate analytical expressions for such an evolution, valid for low and moderate values...

This paper presents a brief review of our recent work investigating a novel bottom-up approach to realize silicon-based nanoelectronics. We discuss fabrication technique, electronic properties, and device applications of silicon nanodots as a building block for various nanoscale silicon devices. r 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This paper proposes a new way to do event generation and analysis in searches for new physics at the LHC. An abstract notation is used to describe the new particles on a level which better corresponds to detector resolution of LHC experiments. In this way the SUSY discovery space can be decomposed into a small number of eigenmodes each with only a few parameters, which allows to investigate the...
