It is the lack of a common, transdisciplinary language and a metaphorical map encompassing the existing major systems that constrains progress on evolutionary theory. A modification of Eldredge and Gould`s model of "punctuated equilibria" can create such a map. This map should highlight a universal sequence for organizational change processes within and among systems. If this map combines this ...

Globalization is understood as one of the most significant historical trends motivated by technological innovation. The technique telecommunication definitely with that To study relationship how has an impact on progress globalization, this article provides a picture their development, combined synthesis applying theory cultural determinism. A factors analysis social needs constructed for furth...

This paper analyses the dynamics loads exerted by waves on a floating offshore platform in Straits of Messina, (South Italy), hosting an innovative ducted wind turbine. The force largest sea occurring during lifetime are predicted quasi-determinism theory, which foresees what happens if group exceptionally large height occurs at given point sea.

BACKGROUND The home and family environment is a highly influential psychosocial antecedent of pediatric obesity. Implementation of conventional family- and home-based childhood obesity interventions is challenging for parents, often requiring them to attend multiple educational sessions. Attrition rates for traditional interventions are frequently high due to competing demands for parents' time...

Epimenides Where do you come from, Socrates, and where are you going? Socrates Actually, it was you I was looking for in the marketplace. I just met with Theodorus and Alcibiades and we had a discussion that was well worth hearing about the interesting letter of the noble Charles Poole. Epimenides What do you think of the present debate, Socrates? Socrates Good heavens, I fancy you will never l...

We examine the relation between topological entropy, invertability, and prediction in topological dynamics. We show that topological determinism in the sense of Kamińsky Siemaszko and Szymański imposes no restriction on invariant measures except zero entropy. Also, we develop a new method for relating topological determinism and zero entropy, and apply it to obtain a multidimensional analog of ...

Asynchronous and Synchronous languages have been in use for the speciication of reactive systems. One of the main distinguishing features of these two classes lies in the way nondeterminism is used for the specii-cation of programs. From this viewpoint, we analyze CSP (a typical asynchronous language) and Esterel (a synchronous language). The synchronous language Esterel is based on the notions...

This article shows how the social sciences, particularly human geography, rejected hard determinism by the mid-twentieth century largely on the deontological basis that it is irreconcilable with social justice, yet this rejection came just before a burst of creative development in consequentialist theories of social justice that problematize a facile rejection of determinism on moral grounds, a...

This paper presents a semantics of self-adjusting computation and proves that the semantics are correct and consistent. The semantics integrate change propagation with the classic idea of memoization to enable reuse of computations under mutation to memory. During evaluation, reuse of a computation via memoization triggers a change propagation that adjusts the reused computation to reflect the ...

Motivation. Adding features to finite automata in order to capture situations beyond regularity has been fruitful to many areas of research. Such features include making the state sets infinite, adding power to the logical characterizations, having the automata operate on infinite domains rather than finite alphabets, adding stack-like mechanisms, etc. (See, e.g., [11, 3, 17, 1].) Model checkin...
