Common ground and grounds of law

Common Grounds, Questions and Relevance

On Common Ground: Jost's (1897) law of forgetting and Ribot's (1881) law of retrograde amnesia.

T. Ribot's (1881) law of retrograde amnesia states that brain damage impairs recently formed memories to a greater extent than older memories, which is generally taken to imply that memories need time to consolidate. A. Jost's (1897) law of forgetting states that if 2 memories are of the same strength but different ages, the older will decay more slowly than the younger. The main theoretical im...

Simulations of ground-penetrating radars over lossy and heterogeneous grounds

The versatility of the three-dimensional (3–D) finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method to model arbitrarily inhomogeneous geometries is exploited to simulate realistic groundpenetrating radar (GPR) scenarios for the purpose of assisting the subsequent designs of high-performance GPR hardware and software. The buried targets are modeled by conducting and dielectric prisms and disks. The groun...

Common Grounds as Multiple Information States

The main goal of this paper is to show how to derive a common ground In order to do this, first we need to know what a common ground should be like. In traditional dynamic semantics, a common ground is given as a single information state which is shared by the people in the context. In this paper I am going to show that a common ground must include more than one information state, and that this...

eGov and SDI: the common grounds and missing links

The scientific and professional community researching spatial data infrastructures (SDI) has largely developed outside of the electronic government (eGov) discussion podia, yet increasingly refers to basic concepts of eGov. I question however to which extent the axiologies and epistemologies of SDI and eGov are related, and whether there are common grounds and possible missing links between the...
