Over the past decade neuroscience has been attacking the problem of cognition with increasing vigor. Yet, what exactly is cognition, beyond a general signifier of anything seemingly complex the brain does? Here, we briefly review attempts to define, describe, explain, build, enhance and experience cognition. We highlight perspectives including psychology, molecular biology, computation, dynamic...

handicaps to effective introduction of semiotic achievements into software development in the spheres related to human perception such as interfaces, computer languages, DB queries, arise due to the absence of analysis and modeling methods adequate to the complicity of the investigated objects. A formal model that expresses basic semiotic notions in species of structures is presented in the pap...

In Rail Automation, planning future projects requires the integration of business-critical data from heterogeneous data sources. As a consequence, data quality of integrated data is crucial for the optimal utilization of the production capacity. Unfortunately, current integration approaches mostly neglect uncertainties and inconsistencies in the integration process in terms of railway specific ...

Colorectal cancers (CRC) express the WNT effector protein b-catenin in a heterogeneous subcellular pattern rather than uniformly in the nucleus. In this study, we investigated this important aspect of molecular heterogeneity in CRCs by analyzing its basis and relationship with tumor-initiating capability. CRC cells with the highest WNT levels showed only a marginal increase in tumor initiation ...

In this essay, we seek to develop a concept of “big data drive.” Influenced in part by Lacan’s theory drive, study the drive toward biometric big data. Biometric (BBD) refers collected around facial recognition, eye thumb prints, and other types technology whose task is identify specific being through unique bio characteristics. “Big Data Drive” energies that pulsate Big Data, as both signifier...

Résumé. L’analyse statistique implicative traite des tableaux sujets x variables afin d’extraire règles et métarègles statistiques entre les variables. L’article interroge les structures obtenues représentées par graphe et hiérarchie orientés afin de dégager la responsabilité des sujets ou des groupes de sujets (variables supplémentaires) dans la constitution des chemins du graphe ou des classe...

This essay offers an intervention in biopolitical theory—using the term “vulnerable life” to recalibrate discussions of how life is valued and violence is justified in the contemporary bioinsecurity regime. It reads the discursive structures that dehumanize and pathologize figures in U.S. zombie narratives against the discursive structures present in contemporary legal narratives and media repo...
