This article aims to provide a metaphysical elucidation of the notion Theism and coherent theological synthesis two extensions this notion: Classical Neo-Classical Theism. A model its is formulated within ontological pluralism framework Kris McDaniel Jason Turner, (modified) modal realism David Lewis, which enables it be explicated clearly consistently, often raised objections against elements ...

The authors review the literature on the 2 main models of the placebo effect: expectancy theory and classical conditioning. A path is suggested to dissolving the theoretical impasse that has long plagued this issue. The key is to make a clear distinction between 2 questions: What factors shape placebo effects? and What learning mediates the placebo effect? The reviewed literature suggests that ...

In this note we demonstrate the occurrence of first-order transitions in temperature for some recently introduced generalized XY models, and also 1 point out the connection between them and annealed site-diluted (lattice-gas) continuous-spin models.

The Ando-Beranek’s model, a linear version of Ando’s subjective preference theory, obtained by the authors in a recent work, was combined with Barron revised theory. An optimal volume region for each reverberation time was obtained for classical music in symphony orchestra concert halls. The obtained relation was tested with good agreement with the top rated halls reported by Beranek and other ...

We construct a generator system of the annihilator of the generalized Verma module of gl(n,C) induced from any character of any parabolic subalgebra as an analogue of minors and elementary divisors. The generator system has a quantization parameter ε and it generates the defining ideal of the conjugacy class of square matrices at the classical limit ε = 0.

Recent experimental and theoretical methods allowed the efficient investigation of highly excited rovibrational states of molecular systems. At these levels of excitation the correspondence principle holds, and then classical mechanics can provide intuitive views of the involved processes. In this respect, we have recently shown that for completely hyperbolic systems, homoclinic motions, which ...

We consider many-body problems in classical mechanics where a wide range of time scales limits what can be computed. We apply the method of optimal prediction to obtain equations that are easier to solve numerically. We demonstrate by examples that optimal prediction can reduce the amount of computation needed to obtain a solution by several orders of magnitude.
