The transmission of information relying on the perturbation of nonlinear oscillators vector fields can be approached in a unified manner. This can be accomplished by making use of the Information Transmission Via Control principle, which is stated and proved in the present work. In short, this principle establishes that any controller used to identically synchronize pairs of nonlinear oscillato...

Link Evaluation (LE) is proposed in system evaluation to reduce complexity. It is important to practical systems also for link adaptation. Current algorithms for link evaluation are developed by simulation method, lacking of theoretical description. Although they provide some good accuracy for some scenarios, all of them are not universal. With the help of information theory, a universal princi...

Medical ethics as a scholarly discipline and a system of moral principles that apply values and judgments to the practice of medicine encompasses its practical application in clinical settings as well as work on its history, philosophy, theology, anthropology and sociology. As such there are a number of values in medical ethics such as autonomy, non-maleficence, confidentiality, dignity, honest...

Embodied cognition pertains to the consequences on thought and emotion of living with our particular human sensory and motor systems. The consequences are quite varied, and researchers across the cognitive sciences have made great discoveries in line with this principle. However, while we offer this principle, it is necessarily broad, and searching for a single unifying theme has not brought re...

We contribute to the research on stable minimum storage merging by introducing an algorithm that is particularly simply structured compared to its competitors. The presented algorithm performs O(m log( n m + 1)) comparisons and O((m + n) log m) assignments, where m and n are the sizes of the input sequences with m ≤ n. Hence, according to the lower bounds of merging the algorithm is asymptotica...

The principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) is the subject of considerable academic study, but has yet to become remarkable for its practical applications. A tale is told of an instance in which a spin-off from consideration of an MEP-constrained climate model at least led to re-consideration of the very practical issue of water-vapour feedback in climate change. Further, and on a more-or...

A “list as long as your arm” has described the range of principles that may be attempted for possible eddy parameterization schemes. We feel uncomfortably an attitude of “try and see” whether any particular principle “works” in any particular application. This note summarises a discussion which followed the body of presentations at ‘Aha. We ask if principles from general physics, especially not...

These two handy volumes belong to the popular series of pocket monographs on practical medicine. attempt has been successfully made within the compaf~ of 180 pages to give a practical outline of fracture treatment. Naturally, these volumes are addressed to medical men in practice, in whom a knowledge 0 general principles has been assumed. In consequence, references to surgical anatomy, skiagram...

We present a simple and practical protocol for the solution of a secure multiparty communication task, the secret sharing, and its proof-of-principle experimental realization. In this protocol, a secret is split among several parties in a way that its reconstruction requires the collaboration of the participating parties. In our scheme the parties solve the problem by sequential transformations...
