Elements of Finite Model Theory [book review]

Book Review: Contemporary Sensorimotor Theory

Consciousness, with its irreducible subjective character, was almost exclusively a philosophical topic until relatively recently. Today, however, the problem of explaining the felt quality of experience has also become relevant to science and engineering, including robotics andAI: “What would we have to build into a robot so that it really felt the touch of a finger, the redness of red, or the ...

Topology optimization using non-conforming finite elements: three-dimensional case

As in the case of two-dimensional topology design optimization, numerical instability problems similar to the formation of two-dimensional checkerboard patterns occur if the standard eight-node conforming brick element is used. Motivated by the recent success of the two-dimensional non-conforming elements in completely eliminating checkerboard patterns, we aim at investigating the performance o...

BOOK REVIEW Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory

This collection Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory gives us the broadest perspective yet on this important realist alternative to standard quantum theory. The book treats the history, philosophical rami"cations and consistency of theories arising from Bohm's original model and their relations to other alternative theories. Signi"cantly, it also contains applications of these theories to pract...
