Anthropological interest in secrecy and silence – related aspects such as lying, knowledge, memory, forgetting has been long precarious. Through what may be called personal anthropology, this article, I describe both private professional anthropological experiences including family memories, fieldwork sites, academic practices. By recalling state socialist ideology, censorship, secrets, illustr...

The reaction path is an important concept of theoretical chemistry. We employ the definitions of the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC), the gradient extremal (GE), and the Newton trajectory (NT). The usual imagination in chemistry is that a minimum energy path is in a convex region of the potential energy surface. We describe different schemes of convexity to handle the situation. It comes ou...

In this article, we introduce a new iterative algorithm by the shrinking projection method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problems, the set of common solutions of general system of finite variational inequalities, the set of solutions of fixed points for nonexpansive semigroups and the set of common fixed points for an infinite family of st...

Service offers from online platforms in Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and UK since COVID-19-related lockdowns March 2020 are analyzed related to classical pragmatic nomenclatures. As a result, lexemes used particularly hardly medium degree UK. Often, such phrases expressive/phatic, occasionally with an appeal pity, just promote positive connotations, not adding anythi...

We argue that atomistic learning—learning that requires training only on a novel item to be learned—is problematic for networks in which every weight is available for change in every learning situation. This is potentially significant because atomistic learning appears to be commonplace in humans and most non-human animals. We briefly review various proposed fixes, concluding that the most prom...

Ordering ambiguity associated with the von Roos position dependent mass (PDM) Hamiltonian is considered. A PDM-pseudo-momentum operator Π̂1 = −i [μ (x)∂x + g (x)] is introduced (the Hermiticity of which is secured by the condition g (x) = ∂xμ (x) /2) and generalized to ddimensions. Intertwining our Hamiltonian, HMM = Π̂ 2 d + V (x), with the von Roos d-dimensional PDM-Hamiltonian, HvR = T̂d (α, β,...

We present a sufficient linear-time schedulability test for preemptable, asynchronous, periodic task systems with arbitrary relative deadlines, scheduled on a uniprocessor by an optimal scheduling algorithm. We show analytically and empirically that this test is more accurate than the commonlyused density condition. We also present and discuss the results of experiments that compare the accurac...

For a countable family {Tn}n 1 of strictly pseudo-contractions, a strong convergence of viscosity iteration is shown in order to find a common fixed point of {Tn}n 1 in either a p-uniformly convex Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping or a p-uniformly convex Banach space with uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. As applications, at the end of the paper we apply our res...
