The primary concepts on which our spatial knowledge is based must have its origin in early individual development. One of these concepts is the notion of an object. Characteristic of the development of this concept is the so-called A-not-B-error (Piaget 1937). The error occurs in 6 to 8 months old infants that persist in reaching for location A, where an object was hidden several times, even th...

In this paper, we consider reliable cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive networks under the Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification (SSDF) attacks. One effective method to mitigate the SSDF attacks is the q-out-of-m fusion scheme, where the final decision is based on q sensing reports from m polled users. In this paper, first, we derive the asymptotic behavior of the fusion scheme as the netwo...

An overlap method for regularizing Majorana–Weyl fermions interacting with gauge fields is presented. A mod(2) index is introduced in relation to the anomalous violation of a discrete global chiral symmetry. Most of the paper is restricted to 2 dimensions but generalizations to 2+8k dimensions should be straightforward.
