Toward a Realistic Science of Environments

چکیده
If mind is a creature of adaptation, then our standard representationalist theories of mind are in need of revision. For such theories are inspired by Cartesian ways of thinking. They thus conceive the subject of mental experience in isolation from any surrounding physico-biological environment and do not grapple with the interconnections between the world of human thought, feeling and action and the environment of human behavior as this is described by physics and evolutionary biology. Mind is an all-or-nothing affair, that is not coherently integrated with the causal-energetic world of what happens and is the case.

AN Improved UTD Based Model For The Multiple Building Diffraction Of Plane Waves In Urban Environments By Using Higher Order Diffraction Coeficients
This paper describes an improved model for multiple building diffraction modeling based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). A well-known problem in conventional uniform theory of diffraction (CUTD) is multiple-edge transition zone diffraction. Here, higher order diffracted fields are used in order to improve the result; hence, we use higher order diffraction coefficients to improve a hy...
متن کاملEffects of Interruptible Load on Decision Making of a Distribution Company in Competitive Environments
The main goal of this paper is to present a new day-ahead energy acquisition model for a distribution company (Disco) in a competitive electricity market environment with Interruptible Load (IL). The work formulates the Disco energy acquisition model as a bi-level optimization problem with some of real issues, and then studies and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of this optimization problem to...

متن کاملStudying & Supporting Productive Disciplinary Engagement in STEM Learning Environments
Introduction Researchers have described the advantages of complex, realistic, and challenging science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning environments that engage students in the practices of STEM disciplines. Benefits include increasing students’ likelihood to transfer skills learned during school activities to practice, value of the task, and motivation. Research teams fr...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Realistic Mobility Model for Ad hoc Networks
Realistic mobility models can demonstrate more precise evaluation results because their parameters are closer to the reality. In this paper a realistic Fuzzy Mobility Model has been proposed. This model has rules which are changeable depending on nodes and environmental conditions. It seems that this model is more complete than other mobility models.After simulation, it was found out that not o...
