Graphical interpretation of phase shifts

Jan - Willem Romeijn Conditioning and Interpretation Shifts

This paper develops a probabilistic model of belief change under interpretation shifts, in the context of a problem case from dynamic epistemic logic. Van Benthem [4] has shown that a particular kind of belief change, typical for dynamic epistemic logic, cannot be modelled by standard Bayesian conditioning. I argue that the problems described by van Benthem come about because the belief change ...

Generating Phase Shifts from Pseudo State Energy Shifts

Graphical interpretation of observability in terms of feedback circuits.

It is known that the observability of a system depends crucially on the choice of the observable. Locally, such a feature results directly from the couplings between the dynamical variables (globally, it will also depend on symmetry). Using a feedback circuit description, it is shown how the location of the nonlinearity can affect the observability of a system. A graphical interpretation is int...

Interpretation of the Phonon Frequency Shifts in ZnO Quantum Dots

Nanostructures made of zinc oxide (ZnO), a wide-bandgap semiconductor, have recently attracted attention due to their proposed applications in low-voltage and shortwavelength (368 nm) electro-optical devices, transparent ultraviolet (UV) protection films, gas sensors, and varistors. Raman spectroscopy presents a powerful tool for identifying specific materials in complex structures and for extr...

A Formal Interpretation of Concept Types and Type Shifts

The concept of frame, as introduced in Barsalou (1992), is that of a recursive attribute-value structure. Barsalou argues that frames form the general format for the content and structure of concepts in human cognition. The attributes in a frame denote properties of the object described by the concept. Values can be either atomic or frames themselves with their own attributes and values. Formal...
