Consciousness—a system-theoretical approach

Consciousness—a system-theoretical approach

The aim of this work is not to compete with the paper by Boly et al. (2013), but rather to look at the issue of consciousness from a different, system-theoretical perspective. According to advice by Sokal and Bricmont that “it’s a good idea to know, what one is talking about” (Sokal and Bricmont, 1999, p. 185), let us assume that consciousness is a dynamically changing part of quasi-static whol...

The effect of SiO2 nanoparticle on the performance of photovoltaic thermal system: Experimental and Theoretical approach

The low conversion efficiency of solar cells produces large amounts of thermal energy to the cells, and with an increase in the temperature of solar cells, their electrical efficiency decreases. Therefore, a hybrid photovoltaic thermal system improves the overall efficiency of the system by adding thermal equipment to the solar cell and removing excessive heat from these cells. In this paper, w...

Optimal Investment in Information System Security: A Game Theoretical Approach

Broadband Mimo Sonar System: a Theoretical and Experimental Approach

MIMO systems have raised a lot of interest in the recent years. The radar community pointed out the multiple advantages of MIMO systems such as diversity gain for target detection, angle of arrival and Doppler estimation. Coherent processing also allows super-resolution for target localisation. We explore in this paper broadband MIMO sonar systems. In the current literature, the channel matrix ...

Natural Color System Using Fuzzy Set Theoretical Approach

The present study considered a fuzzy natural color system (NCS) in which triangular pyramid membership functions are constructed on the NCS color triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to an NCS system and output to a center of gravity of three weights associated with respective grades. Triangular membership functions are applied to the hue, and triangular pyramid membership functions ...
