Many problems in AI study can be traced back to the confusion of different research goals. In this paper, five typical ways to define AI are clarified, analyzed, and compared. It is argued that though they are all legitimate research goals, they lead the research to very different directions, and most of them have trouble to give AI a proper identity. Finally, a working definition of AI is prop...

SBIBDs are of considerable use and interest to image processing (compression, masking) and to statisticians undertaking medical or agricultural research. We note that the strict definition of an orthogonal matrix, X, of order n, is that X⊺X =XX⊺ = In where In is the identity matrix of order n. In this paper we consider X⊺X =XX⊺ = cIn where c is a constant. We call these quasi-orthogonal matrice...

Cancer urania Herbst, 1801, is the type species of the leucosiid genus Coleusia Galil, 2006. Its identity has been a subject of confusion due to various taxonomical and nomenclatural issues. We redescribe the species, discuss its complex history and taxonomy, and a female syntype is designated as the lectotype of the species to clarify any lingering ambiguities concerning the type material of C...
