absence of any restraint upon the author's curiosity by the need to attend to a specific problem. This author is indeed inquisitive: he exploits analogies from all the natural world to explain physiological processes, and he is probably the first person known to have modified an existing object to make an apparatus for use in demonstration. Analogical reasoning and experiment loom large in thes...

The supersymmetric sector of minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) possesses a U(1) R-symmetry which contains Z2 matter parity. Non-zero neutrino masses, consistent with a ‘redefined’ R-symmetry, are possible through the see-saw mechanism and/or a pair of superheavy (mass M) SU(2)L triplets with vev ∼ M 2 W /M . If this R-symmetry is respected by the higher order terms, then baryon numbe...

Intelligent agents and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are being developed and researched in nearly every discipline. Since the conception of AI a variety of applications have used AI techniques but only recently with the advent of data mining and other techniques has there been a surge in the community of developers and researches interested in advancing AI. There is an endless horizon...

Orbital myositis (OM) is an inflammatory disorder of the extraocular muscles. The signs and symptoms of OM are periorbital pain, eyelid swelling and redness, restricted ocular motility, and strabismus. There are at least two major forms, described by Benedikt GH Schoser, a limited oligosymptomatic ocular myositis (LOOM), which is associated with conjunctival injection only, and severe exophthal...

^ --Term Subsumption Systems (TSS) form a knowledge representation scheme in AI that can express the defining characteristics of concepts through a formal language that has a well-defined semantics and incorporates a reasoning mechanism that can deduce whether one concept subsumes another. However, TSS have very limited ability to deal with the issue of uncertainty in knowledge bases. The objec...
