On the misgivings of anthropomorphic consensus polling in defining the complexity of life.

چکیده
In a recent paper (1) Edward N. Trifonov has turned his statistical expertise on one of the most enigmatic questions still vexing our scientific conceptions of the universe: What is life? – If applied ingeniously, statistical methods are marvelous tools indeed, but yet, they hardly breed miracles on their own. To be sure, professor Trifonov has done wonderful work before, scrutinizing the system of coded protein synthesis for innate secrets by sophisticated statistical analyses (2-4).

Output Consensus Control of Nonlinear Non-minimum Phase Multi-agent Systems Using Output Redefinition Method
This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents a...
متن کاملAdaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
متن کاملAn improved and efficient stenographic scheme based on matrix embedding using BCH syndrome coding.
This paper presents a new stenographic scheme based on matrix embedding using BCH syndrome coding. The proposed method embeds massage into cover by changing some coefficients of cover. In this paper defining a number :::as char:::acteristic of the syndrome, which is invariant with respect to the cyclic shift, we propose a new embedding algorithm base on BCH syndrome coding, without finding ro...
متن کاملیک فانتوم سر ریاضیاتی برای بررسی‌های دوزیمتری به روش مونت‌کارلو
Introduction: In diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, dosimetric studies are performed on the dosimetric systems in order to comply the radiation safety standards. Monte Carlo methods are used due to the high complexity and cost of patient-specific phantom construction. The high complexity of the digitized phantoms greatly increases the time and computational task of the Monte Carlo calculati...
