study of the limit-point concept [16]. Which factors could dictate the introduction of a topology for a given system of informational formulas? In informational cases, different kinds of reasonable topologies, corresponding intuitive ideas what an understanding, interpretation, conception, perception and meaning should be, are coming to the consciousness, that is, into the modeling foreground. ...

Speech understanding in noise is affected by both the energetic and informational masking components of the background noise. In addition, when the background noise is everyday speech, the relative contributions of the energetic and informational masking components to the overall difficulties in understanding speech are unclear. This study estimated informational masking effects, in conversatio...

Protein sequences contain surprisingly many local regions of low compositional complexity. These include different types of residue clusters, some of which contain homopolymers, short period repeats or aperiodic mosaics of a few residue types. Several different formal definitions of local complexity and probability are presented here and are compared for their utility in algorithms for localiza...

In this study we introduce an information-theoretical formulation of the emergence of type- and token-based effects in morphological processing. We describe a probabilistic measure of the informational complexity of a word, its information residual, which encompasses the combined influences of the amount of information contained by the target word and the amount of information carried by its ne...

This review provides a comprehensive understanding of regularization theory from different perspectives, emphasizing smoothness and simplicity principles. Using the tools of operator theory and Fourier analysis, it is shown that the solution of the classical Tikhonov regularization problem can be derived from the regularized functional defined by a linear differential (integral) operator in the...

New technologies for Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) produce three-dimensional hyperspectral chemical images with high spatial resolution and fine mass-spectral precision. SIMS imaging of biological tissues and cells promises to provide an informational basis for important advances in a wide variety of applications, including cancer treatments. However, the volume and complexity of data ...

Young and older adults provided language samples in response to elicitation questions while concurrently performing 3 different tasks. The language samples were scored on three dimensions: fluency, grammatical complexity, and content. Previous research had suggested the hypothesis that the restricted speech register of older adults is buffered from the costs of dual task demands. This hypothesi...

BACKGROUND Analysis of signals by means of symbolic methods consists in calculating a measure of signal complexity, for example informational entropy or Lempel-Ziv algorithmic complexity. For construction of these entropic measures one uses distributions of symbols representing the analyzed signal. RESULTS We introduce a new signal characteristic named sequential spectrum that is suitable for...

This paper investigates an approach which is called structural legal visualization (SLV). It is about diagrammatical views which facilitate comprehension of the meaning of legal contents. Complexity reduction is a motive. An issue is the complexity of the entire legal system and the layman’s limited ability to understand legal institutions and the millions of documents. A sequence of views in S...
