Nonlinear dynamical modeling of interaction between automatic and conscious processes in the human brain is considered in terms of the quaternion fields. The interaction is due, particularly, to the nonlinear firing rate of neu-rons. Possible connection of consciousness with the general field theory is indicated. A new type of symmetry between dynamics of real and imaginary fields is pointed ou...

is called the 2-class field tower of k. If n is the minimal integer such that kn = kn+1, then n is called the length of the tower. If no such n exists, then the tower is said to be of infinite length. At present there is no known decision procedure to determine whether or not the (2-)class field tower of a given field k is infinite. However, it is known by group theoretic results (see [2]) that...

Imaginary cubes are three-dimensional objects that have square projections in three orthogonal ways, just like a cube has. In this paper, we introduce higherdimensional extensions of imaginary cubes and study their properties.

Multi-layer orthotropic finite cylindrical shells with a viscoelastic core in contact with fluids are gaining increasing importance in engineering. Vibrational control of these structures is essential at higher modes. In this study, an extended version of the wave propagation approach using first-order shear deformation theory of shell motion is employed to examine the free vibration of damped ...

Considering narration and psychoanalysis as processes of interpreting human experience, a narrative was developed to investigate the collective imaginary about motherhood. It is a fictional story elaborated by the researchers based on their clinical experience with pregnant women. When the interactive narrative reaches a climax, the researcher interrupts the story and invites the participants t...

The paper applies Lacan’s Three Order theory and Oedipus Triangle to the novel Sound Fury investigate unconscious mechanisms of three brothers account for their behaviors. Banji, Quintin, Jason respectively have breakdowns in orders: Imaginary, Real, Symbolic. Banji’s isolation Imaginary imposes restrictions on his self-consciousness, reflected by inability language. He represents who’s obstruc...

Relations between children's imaginary companion status and their engagement in private speech during free play were investigated in a socially diverse sample of 5-year-olds (N=148). Controlling for socioeconomic status, receptive verbal ability, total number of utterances, and duration of observation, there was a main effect of imaginary companion status on type of private speech. Children who...
