While many forms of data-driven surveillance are now a ‘fact’ contemporary life amidst datafication, obtaining concrete knowledge how different institutions exploit data presents an ongoing challenge, requiring the expertise and power to untangle increasingly complex opaque technological institutional arrangements. The why potential thus wrapped in form continuously produced uncertainty. How th...

A new approach to anticipations is proposed – anticipation by analogy. Firstly, the role of selective attention was explored both with simulation data and psychological experiment. After that, the AMBR model for analogy-making has been extended with a simple anticipatory mechanism and is demonstrated how top-down perception and analogical transfer can both be based on one and the same anticipat...

the study of lexical bundles, among types of text analysis, is gaining importance over the others in the last century. the present study employed a frequency-based analysis approach to the use of lexical bundles. the discussion section of 60 political science articles, with corpora around 253,063 words were investigated in three aspects of structure, form, and function of lexical bundles. the p...

This paper investigates a special type of recurrent expressions, lexical bundles, defined as a sequence of three or more words that co-occur frequently in a particular register (Biber et al., 1999). Considering the importance of this group of multi-word sequences in academic prose, this study explores the forms and syntactic structures of three- and four-word bundles in English abstracts writte...

Reactive perforating collagenosis is one of the perforatingdermatoses; the acquired form is characterized by transepithelialelimination of altered collagen bundles. It has been seen inassociation with multiple disorders including diabetes mellitus,renal failure, hyperparathyroidism, liver disease, neurodermatitis,IgA nephropathy, and periampullary carcinoma with jaundice.According to the litera...

Writing to disk in a rotationally-optimal manner is challenging. Much of the problem arises from the traditional interface, which demands an exact address for each write. In this project, I change this traditional interface by building what we call Range Writes. A range write takes a data block and a list of possible destination addresses; the disk then internally chooses the best possible addr...

Anticipatory movements are motor responses occurring before likely sensory events in contrast to reflexive actions. Anticipatory movements are necessary to compensate for delays present in sensory and motor systems. Smooth pursuit eye movements are often used as a paradigmatic example for the study of anticipation. However, the neural control of anticipatory pursuit is unknown. A previous study...

We present the theory of anticipatory networks that generalizes an earlier model of consequence anticipation in multicriteria optimization problem solving. We assume that the decision-maker takes into account the anticipated outcomes of future decision problem linked by the causal relations with the present one. So arises a multigraph of decision problems linked causally and by one or more anti...

Our daily movements exert forces upon the environment and also upon our own bodies. To control for these forces, movements performed while standing are usually preceded by anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). This strategy is effective at compensating for an expected perturbation, as it reduces the need to compensate for the perturbation in a reactive manner. However, it can also be risky ...
