Extended story generation, such as the creation of soap opera stories, is a difficult and interesting problem for Artif icial Intelligence. We present here the first phase of the development of a program, UNIVERSE, to tell such stories. In particular, we introduce a method for creating universes of characters appropriate for extended story generation. This method concentrates on the need to kee...

We present the most recent results of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using the CDF and D∅ detector in the contest of Supersymmetry (SUSY) with Supergravity (SUGRA) constraints. All results described correspond to analysis performed using the past 1992-1996 Fermilab Tevatron Run I data (roughly 110pb per each experiment). In particular we report on searches for stop decay in tau ...

one of the most important issues in philosophy of religion is theanthropology, because the human being is both receiver and addresseeof religion. our view to religion can be changed by our view to human.the present article wants to compare the insight of twophilosophers-one of them from the east and the other from the west. mulla-sadra with the presentation of motion in substance in the center ...

the foundation and corner stone ef mulla sadra's attitude toiuards man depends on his whole philosophical system of transcendent philosopfd, tuhich is plunged deep!j into his metapysical vieiv efman as a microcosm in whom creation returns to its source and multiplidty to its uniry; the prindples of his stttcfy provide, therefore, the last link in the rycle of his cosmology and a kry for th...

A promising area of research in nanoelectronics is the development of electrical systems that imitate the dynamics of life. To proceed toward this goal, we propose a single-electron device that imitates the behavior of the reaction-diffusion system, which is a chemical complex system producing dynamic, selforganizing phenomena in the natural world. Constructing an electrical analog of reaction-...

We fabricated and tested the single electron R-pump, i.e. a three-junction Al circuit with on-chip Cr resistors. Due to the presence of the resistors (R > R K ≡ h/e 2 ≈ 25.8 kΩ), the accuracy of electron transfer in the R-pump can approach the level of δI/I ∼ 10-8. Preliminary results of experiment with the R-pump made at PTB are reported.

The one-electron properties of a certain class of one-dimensional ternary quasicrystals are investigated. In particular, we show in detail the presence of a special kind of critical states called marginal critical states in these QCs. By the use of a real-space renormalization-group method, it is shown that the scaling properties of marginal critical states are characterized by stretched expone...

Observations of microwave background fluctuations can yield information not only about the geometry of the universe but potentially about the topology of the universe. If the universe is negatively curved, then the characteristic scale for the topology of the universe is the curvature radius. Thus, if we are seeing the effects of the geometry of the universe, we can hope to soon see signatures ...
