An important epistemological lesson can be learned from the impossibility to determine the one-way velocity of light and the immediate implication that simultaneity is conventional. The vicious circle – to determine whether two distant events are simultaneous we need to know the one-way velocity of light between them, but to determine the one-way velocity of light we need to know that the two e...

A straightforward introduction to the theory of Colombeau generalized functions is given with an emphasis on the underlying concepts in view of their applications to applied and theoretical problems by physicists who do not need to know all the mathematical intricacies of that theory. As an application the meaning of the square of the delta function is discussed in some detail.

Our work is concerned with the design of adaptive hypertext systems that produce documents tailored to their intended reader. In our approach, a system composes document on-the-fly, assembling existing text fragments. One of our challenges in this approach is to support the technical writer who configures the system. The task of the technical writer is to specify the structure of the documents ...

I do need to do it soon, though, because I was molested as a child and I don't want my girls to go through the same thing, you know, thinking they have no...

One kind of meaningful structures in indoor rooms are supporting structures like tables and cupboards. A robot will need to know these structures for a natural interaction with the human and the environment. As bottom-up detection of such structures is a challenging problem, we propose to estimate potential supporting structures from a spatial description like “a bowl on the table”. As language...
