According to Paul Ricœur the "third time" which would be likely mediate between lived time and cosmic for an individual divided identity-idem identity-ipse, narration play essential role of configuration. However, from third volume Temps et récit (1985) Soi-même comme un autre (1990), narrative identity as conceived by philosopher — in particular dialogue with A. J. Greimas’ semiotics is based ...

We present the proof of Diophantus’ 20th problem (book VI of Diophantus’ Arithmetica), which consists in wondering if there exist right triangles whose sides may be measured as integers and whose surface may be a square. This problem was negatively solved by Fermat in the 17th century, who used the wonderful method (ipse dixit Fermat) of infinite descent. This method, which is, historically, th...

This paper examines the work undertaken in the UK Alvey funded project IPSE from the point of view of the approach taken to the development of the core sys tem It outlines the reasoning which led to the decision to base the system on a active process core rather than the more traditional approaches which have tended to support an entity derived model It gives a brief overview of the project wit...

Il pensiero di Urbano II è stato al centro numerosi studi, volti pricipalmente a comprendere la genesi della spedizione gerosolimitana del 1096-1099. L’articolo riesamina le fonti urbaniane, con particolare riguardo all’epistolario papale, sottolineando peculiari posizioni papali nell’ambito “riforma ecclesiastica” dell’XI secolo. Quella specifica forma guerra che definiamo “crociata” – termine...

Modern spectral and harmonic analysis is based on Fourier transforms. However, these techniques are less efficient in tracking the signal dynamics for transient disturbances in power system engineering. Consequently, the wavelet transform has been introduced as an adaptable technique for non-stationary signal analysis. Although the application of wavelets in the area of power system engineering...

MEDICUS2 is an Intelligent Problem Solving Environment (IPSE) currently under development. It is designed to support i) the construction of explanation models, and ii) the training of diagnostic reasoning and hypotheses testing in domains of complex, fragile, and uncertain knowledge. MEDICUS is currently developed and applied in the epidemiological fields of environmentally caused diseases and ...
