In a work of impressive scholarship, the author takes us through the history of the n body problem from Newton to the present. The center of her story is the prize competition in honor of the 60th birthday of King Oscar II of Sweden in 1889. With royal patronage, with the most prestigious mathematicians as judges, and with the most momentous mathematical problem of Civilization as a topic, it h...

The basic elements of autobiographical or episodic memory are established in early childhood, although the exact age at which memories gain episodic status is still under contention. The self-memory system proposed that adults use "lifetime periods" to group episodic memories together into chapters of the life story - an evolving and internalized account of significant life events that are self...

We develop superembedding approach to multiple D-particle (D0-brane) system. In flat target D = 10 type IIA superspace this produces the supersymmetric and Lorentz covariant version of the Matrix model equations. The equations following from our superembedding approach to multiple D0 in curved type IIA superspace shows the Myers ’dielectric brane effect’, i.e. interaction with higher form gauge...

The success of information system development projects is critically dependent on arriving at a shared understanding of the desired outcome by all project stakeholders. To communicate such understanding among stakeholders, development artifacts such as design specifications, prototypes, and user stories are created. This paper presents a new project management tool to measure and ensure common ...

The recent past has seen a proliferation in the amount of digital video content being created and consumed. This is perhaps being driven by the increase in audiovisual quality, as well as the ease with which production, reproduction and consumption is now possible. The widespread use of digital video, as opposed its analogue counterpart, has opened up a plethora of previously impossible applica...

In allegories polysemy relates not only to the context and the audience’s understanding but also to the structural characters of these texts. This paper investigates the function of structural and narrative properties in the creation of multiple interpretations of an allegory. Focusing on the events and following a unique story-line is the most important trait in helping to read the alleg...

Structure-Mapping is a graph-theoretic process which lies at the heart of computational models of analogy, metaphor (see Veale and Keane 1997), case-base reasoning (see Kolodner 1993) and example-based machine translation (see Veale and Way 1997). In essence this problem is a variant of the provably NPHard problem of determining the largest common isomorphic pair of sub-graphs shared by two sem...
