The satellite images of phytoplankton pigments off California show a high degree of heterogeneity. However, recurrent phytoplankton pigment structures can be identified in the California Current. The major ones are: two sharp boundaries several hundreds of kilometers long; low pigment eddies far offshore interwoven with higher pigment structures immediately inshore; a low pigment intrusion in t...

We argue that the effectiveness of synchronization of oscillatory neural activities coding simple features, as it relates to perceptual organization, may originate in the temporal characteristics of resonance that develops in a two-stroke architecture of neural information processing – a cycling between bottom-up and top-down mechanisms. We provide empirical evidence to support the idea that re...

During the last decade an increased focus on multiproject environments and management of projects can be observed in research literature and reports presented at seminars around the world [1]. As a support for this management of projects, it is common to apply a project model. There is a question if this usage of project models really helps at all. To find an answer we can investigate if any or...

situations. On the contrary, the formalistic school of mathematics uses this distinction to emphasize that the development of all branch of mathematics does not depend on a particular situation. Moreover, Probability Theory has been developed in this way by Kolmogorov (1950). Thus, the teaching of probability and statistics following Piaget’s tradition does not necessarily ICOTS-7, 2006: San Ma...

Over the past three decades, philosophy of science has grown increasingly "local." Concerns have switched from general features of scientific practice to concepts, issues, and puzzles specific to particular disciplines. Philosophy of neuroscience is a natural result. This emerging area was also spurred by remarkable recent growth in the neurosciences. Cognitive and computational neuroscience co...
