It is clear that we are able to process semantic information from stimuli that are masked and not consciously perceived according to objective threshold criteria (Bodner & Masson, 2003; Dell’Aqua & Grainger, 2001). It has been argued that these unconscious semantic priming effects cannot be attributed to consciously controlled processes – such as expectancy – since these processes cannot operat...

Recently, many modifications to the McCulloch/Pitts model have been proposed where both learning and forgetting occur. Given that the network never saturates (ceases to function effectively due to an overload of information), the learning updates can continue indefinitely. For these networks, we need to introduce performance measmes in addition to the information capacity to evaluate the differ...

An algorithm for locating all occurrences of a finite number of keywords in an arbitrary string, also known as multiple strings matching, is commonly required in information retrieval (such as sequence analysis, evolutionary biological studies, gene/protein identification and network intrusion detection) and text editing applications. Although Aho-Corasick was one of the commonly used exact mul...

The notion of Asteroidal triples was introduced by Lekkerkerker and Boland [6]. D.G.Corneil and others [2], Ekkehard Kohler [3] further investigated asteroidal triples. Walter generalized the concept of asteroidal triples to asteroidal sets [8]. Further study was carried out by Haiko Muller [4]. In this paper we find asteroidal numbers for Direct product of cycles, Direct product of path and cy...

knowledge of the Chinese in the eighth century" which still remains a puzzle. Carlo Castellani makes a detailed comparison of the investigations of Bonnet and Buffon on the problem of generation, concluding that Buffon's approach was the sounder. The last item, a full bibliography of the writings of Walter Pagel compiled by Marianne Winder reminds the reader that this selection of essays, so sk...

In this paper dedicated to the memory of Walter Philipp, we formalize the rules of classical→ quantum correspondence and perform a rigorous mathematical analysis of the assumptions in Bell’s NO-GO arguments. I met Walter Philipp on many occasions — mostly during the Växjö conferences and during my visits to the University of Illinois in UrbanaChampaign — and I always enjoyed social and scientif...

Alexander, J. H. The Shirra in the Dock: The Magnum Case In the Magnum, Scott openly confesses to mistakes, defends himself against actual or potential charges, exhibits discomfort on occasion, and is in various ways economical with the truth. The first part of the paper will look at his evident unease with the Magnum as a bookmaking project containing a fair amount of 'buckram'. It will also c...
