چکیده
A Darwinian approach to decision-making mechanisms must focus on the representation of the options between which the animal decides. For example, in matching behavior, is the animal deciding between the different locations in which to forage or simply whether to leave its current location? A neurobiologically informed approach must be concerned with the mechanism of representation itself. In the computational theory of mind, options are represented by the symbols that carry information about them forward in time. In conventional computing machines, symbols reside in an addressable read-write memory. Current theorizing about the neurobiological mechanism of memory rejects this form of memory in favor of an associative memory. The problem is that the associative bond—and its neurobiological embodiment, the plastic synapse—is not suited to the function of carrying acquired information forward in time in a computationally accessible form. It is argued that this function is indispensable. Therefore, there must be such a mechanism in neural tissue, most probably realized at the molecu-

Machinery Optimal Layout Design of a Production System with the Aim of Reducing Transportation Costs Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
In this study, solutions for machinery layout with the aim of reducing transportation costs will be discussed. To do this, imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), which is a very complicated and effective meta-heuristic algorithm is introduced. In the offered algorithm, different kinds of machinery layout are considered in single-row as country and then the best possible layout is developed ba...

متن کاملVirtual Machinery and Evolution of Mind (Part 3) Meta-Morphogenesis: Evolution of Information-Processing Machinery
Much of Turing’s work was about how large numbers of relatively simple processes could cumulatively produce qualitatively new large scale results e.g. Turing machine operations producing results comparable to results of human mathematical reasoning, and micro-interactions in physicochemical structures producing global transformations as a fertilized egg becomes an animal or plant. In the same s...

Taxonomy(general), the practice and science of classification of things or concepts, including the principles that underlie such classification. Economic taxonomy, a system of classification for economic activity. The main objective of the study was to find whether financial ratios affect the performance of the Agricultural Machinery companies in Iran. A firm performance evaluation and its comp...
متن کاملSimulation Shrinkage and Stress Generated During Convective Drying of Carrot Slices
The moist sample shrinks during drying and the non-uniformity shrinkage involves stresses in the body. The aim of the present work is simulating deformations and drying-induced stresses of carrot slice during a convective drying. The effect of shrinkage on the heat and mass transfer profiles were considered. Non-constant physical and thermal properties were also incorporated in the model and th...
