In this paper, I present a version of a sense-data approach to perception, which differs to a certain extent fromwell-knownversions like the one put forward by Jackson. I compare the sense-data view to the currently most popular alternative theories of perception, the so-called Theory of Appearing (a very specific form of disjunctivist approaches) on the one hand and reductive representationali...

An ins t rument for determining the shape and in tens i ty distribut ion of particle and X-ray beams has been developed using an image intensifier tube together wi th a bundle of filaments of scintillator. A description of the use of such a device in high energy, low intensity, secondary meson and proton beams is given. I t is shown t h a t the sensi t ivi ty of th is instrumen t represents a s...

We discuss some sets of g r a m m a r s whose generat ive power l ies between that of the set of contextf ree g r a m m a r s and that of the set of contextsensit ive g r a m m a r s . These sets a re developed by subjecting genera to rs of context-sensi t ive g r a m m a r s to abs t rac t vers ions of a "hardware" res t r i c t ion to which the u s e r s of natural languages, unlike the d e s...

Adapta on is a ubiquitous mechanism by which sensory cells and neurons match their response proper es to the currently prevailing features of their input s muli. Visual mo on-sensi ve neurons in the fl y brain have been used as a valuable model system for the in vivo analysis of physiological mechanisms underlying neuronal adapta on. In this model system the func onal signifi cance of adapta on...

For many, death and its aftermath is a distasteful subject; a subject to be ignored or avoided until suddenly it demands attention. Those who lose a close relative or friend are often left in a state of shock and grief, They are illprepared to handle arrangements for a funeral or burial or cremation—yet they often nzu~t attend to the myriad social and financial details. My own mother’s death la...

A longstanding open problem in lambda calculus is whether there exist continuous models of the untyped lambda calculus whose theory is exactly the λβ or the least sensible λ-theory H (generated by equating all the unsolvable terms). A related question is whether, given a class of lambda models, there are a minimal λ-theory and a minimal sensible λ-theory represented by it. In this paper, we giv...

As good mobile phones, so referred to as sensible phones, are becoming plenty of difficult and plenty of powerful to efficiently provide additional functionalities problems unit increasing concerning security threats against the sensible phone users. Since sensible phones use constant package style as in PCs, they\'re liable to similar classes of security risks like viruses, Trojans and worms. ...

Schizophrenia patients have been reported to be more impaired in comprehending non-literal than literal language since early studies on proverbs. Preference for literal rather than figurative interpretations continues to be documented. The main aim of this study was to establish whether patients are indeed able to use combinatorial semantic processing to comprehend literal sentences and both co...
