Physicists have, hitherto, mostly adopted a frequentist conception of probability , according to which probability statements apply only to ensembles. It is argued that we should, instead, adopt an epistemic, or Bayesian conception, in which probabilities are conceived as logical constructs rather than physical realities, and in which probability statements do apply directly to individual event...

Throughout the ups and downs of scientific world conception there has been a persistent vision of a world which is understandable by human reasoning. In a contemporary, recursion theoretic, understanding, the term “reasoning” is interpretable as “constructive” or, more specifically, “mechanically computable”. An expression of this statement is the assumption that our universe is generated by th...

An approach is presented for minimizing power consumption for digital systems implemented in CMOS which involves optimization at all levels of the design. This optimization includes the technology used to implement the digital circuits, the circuit style and topology, the architecture for implementing the circuits and at the highest level the algorithms that are being implemented. The most impo...

The creation of virtual reality environments has become one of the major celebrations, attractions and causes of concern in the development and application of digital technologies today. Because of their profound social, economic and humanistic implications, the development and applications of technological virtual realities are urgent and vital areas for ethical reflection and debate. Doing so...
