Self-stabilizing systems can be started in any arbitrary state and converge to exhibit the desired behavior. However, self-stabilizing systems can be started in predefined initial states, in the same way as non-stabilizing systems. In this case, a self-stabilizing system can mask faults just like any other distributed system. Moreover, whenever faults overwhelm the systems beyond their capabili...

This paper traces the development of critical rationality and rationally defined intelligence from ancient times through to the present. The idea of intelligence will be situated within a civilisational perspective, and in particular the western rationalist hegemony. Thus the development of western theories of mind is first traced, up until the beginnings of the modern era. Then seminal relevan...

In this paper, we first show a relationship between two stabilizing controllers, which presents an extended feedback system using two stabilizing controllers. Then, we apply this relationship to the two-stage compensator design. In this paper, we consider singleinput single-output plants. On the other hand, we do not assume the coprime factorizability of the model. Thus, the results of this pap...

The main force shaping the structure of bacterial chromosomes is the replication-associated mutational pressure which is characterized by distinct nucleotide substitution patterns acting on differently replicated DNA strands (leading and lagging). Therefore, the composition of DNA strands is asymmetric and it is important at which strand a gene is located and into which strand it could be trans...
