Why I have an extra-terrestrial ancestor
The aim of this note, popular in nature, is to generate some interests in fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning theory. To do this we show that fuzzy logic is an useful tool to give a solution to some famous paradoxes as the Heap paradox, the Bald Man paradox and Poincaré paradox of the indiscernibility (see Goguen [1968/69], Höhle [1991], Gerla [2008]). Also, we suggest new paradoxes. These pa...
متن کاملThe search for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Modern history of the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence is reviewed. The history of radio searches is discussed, as well as the major advances that have occurred in radio searches and prospects for new instruments and search strategies. Recent recognition that searches for optical and infrared signals make sense, and the reasons for this are described, as well as the equipment and speci...
متن کاملExtra-terrestrial construction processes – Advancements, opportunities and challenges
Government space agencies, including NASA and ESA, are conducting preliminary studies on building alternative space-habitat systems for deep-space exploration. Such studies include development of advanced technologies for planetary surface exploration, including an in-depth understanding of the use of local resources. Currently, NASA plans to land humans on Mars in the 2030s. Similarly, other s...
متن کاملConstraints on Extra Dimensions From Cosmological and Terrestrial Measurements
If quantum fields exist in extra compact dimensions, they will give rise to a quantum vacuum or Casimir energy. That vacuum energy will manifest itself as a cosmological constant. The fact that supernova and cosmic microwave background data indicate that the cosmological constant is of the same order as the critical mass density to close the universe supplies a lower bound on the size of the ex...
متن کاملNon-Parametric Energy Use Efficiency, Energy Ratio and Specific Energy for Irrigated Wheat Crop Production
In this paper, non parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in Punjab state, India, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. The main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...
