We revisit the Frieden–Hawkins’ Fisher order measure with a consideration of temperature effects. To this end, we appeal to the semiclassical approach. The order-measure’s appropriateness is validated in the semiclassical realm with regard to two physical systems. Insight is thereby gained with respect to the relationships amongst semiclassical quantifiers. In particular, it is seen that Wehrl’...

Open access, freely available online I s Michael Moore liberal America's Rush Limbaugh? If so, is he fi lling a much needed, or a much lamented, gap in turning issues that are really cast in pastel shades into Day-Glo relief? In this hale monograph, Jeff Hawkins (rendered by Sandra Blakeslee) plays exactly this role for theoretical neuroscience. As a pastel practitioner myself, but furtively sh...

The change point model (CPM) framework introduced in Hawkins, Qiu, and Kang (2003) and Hawkins and Zamba (2005) provides an effective and computationally efficient method for sequentially detecting multiple changes points in streams of Gaussian random variables, when no information is available regarding the parameters of the distribution in the various segments. It has since been extended in v...

It is generally agreed upon that, in first language (L1) acquisition, the child, provided with ample primary linguistic data, relies on a Universal Grammar (UG) from which it selects the functional categories and features necessary to parse the input. Although the learning task for adult second language (L2) learners is not necessarily different from that of the L1 child, important differences,...
