Ghost-busting Ghost-busting, or less colloquially, anti-Cartesianism or non-representationalism, is a loose and internally fluid coalition (philosophical and empirical) comprising Dynamical, Embodied, Extended, Distributed, and Situated (DEEDS) theories of cognition. Gilbert Ryle – DEEDS’ anglophonic masthead [1] – supposedly exorcised the Cartesian propensity to postulate mind as an apparition...

The strength of organizational norms often depends on consistent reciprocity, i.e., regular and expected rewards for good behavior and punishments for bad behavior. Varying reactions by direct recipients and third-party observers, however, present the potential for unmet expectations and organizational inconsistency. This paper suggests that these kinds of problems are not only common but predi...

9 10 Abstract What is the role of self-concept in motivating moral behavior? On one 11 account, when people are primed to perceive themselves as “do-gooders”, conscious 12 access to this positive self-concept will reinforce good behavior. On an alternative 13 account, when people are reminded that they have done their “good deed for the day”, 14 they will feel licensed to behave worse. In the c...

Deeds, or charters, dealing with property rights, provide a continuous documentation which can be used by historians to study the evolution of social, economic and political changes. This study is concerned with charters (written in Latin) dating from the tenth through early fourteenth centuries in England. Of these, at least one million were left undated, largely due to administrative changes ...

Deformable image registration poses a highly non-convex optimisation problem. Conventionally, medical image registration techniques rely on continuous optimisation, which is prone to local minima. Recent advances in the mathematics and new programming methods enable these disadvantages to be overcome using discrete optimisation. In this paper, we present a new technique deeds, which employs a d...

n discussing exempla , it seems fitting to begin with an example of one. In a celebrated passage, Polybius describes for Greek readership some of the ejqismoÇ —habits or customs—that enabled the Romans to overcome the Carthaginians. First he points to the aristocratic funeral (6.53–54), in which wax masks representing ancestors of the deceased are conveyed in the cortège, and a eulogizer, himse...

DeeDS combines active database functionality with critical timing constraints and integrated system monitoring. Since the reactive database mechanisms, or rule management system, must meet critical deadlines, we m ust employ methods that make triggering of rules and execution of actions predictable. We will focus on the scheduling issues associated with dynamic scheduling of workloads where the...
