We consider the spread of epidemics in technological and social networks. How do people react? Does awareness and cautious behavior help? We analyze these questions and present a dynamic model to describe the movement of individuals and/or their mobile devices in a certain (idealistic) urban environment. Furthermore, our model incorporates the fact that different locations can accommodate a dif...

Theoretical analysis of machine intelligence (MI) is useful for defining a common platform in both theoretical and applied artificial intelligence (AI). The goal of this paper is to set canonical definitions that can assist pragmatic research in both strong and weak AI. Described epistemological features of machine intelligence include relationship between intelligent behavior, intelligent and ...

Classic theories of vertebrate head segmentation clearly exemplify the idealistic nature of comparative embryology prior to the 20th century. Comparative embryology aimed at recognizing the basic, primary structure that is shared by all vertebrates, either as an archetype or an ancestral developmental pattern. Modern evolutionary developmental (Evo-Devo) studies are also based on comparison, an...

Successful uses of information technologies usually require teams of developers working in concert (rather than individuals working alone); implying that methodological prescriptions for such developers should centre on issues such as communication and co-ordination. Here, it will be argued that the epistemology proffered by the SSM advocates does not provide a practical basis upon which to con...

Non-equilibrium dynamics is omnipresent in nature and technology can exhibit symmetries order. In idealistic systems this universality well-captured by traditional models of dynamical systems. Realistic processes are often more complex. This work considers two paradigmatic complexities—canonical Kolmogorov turbulence interfacial Rayleigh-Taylor mixing. We employ invariant forms to assess very d...

CAPM theory is the core of modern financial theory. As time went on, more and people began to invest in research, many contradictions have emerged, not least highly idealistic assumptions harsh implementation conditions. Different from CAPM, which only has a single factor market risk beta, The inclusion size premium book-to-market ratio this model can effectively explain stock results. By intro...
