Monte Carlo methods are utilized as computational tools in many areas of chemical physics. In this paper, we present the theoretical basis for a dynamical Monte Carlo method in terms of the theory of Poisson processes. We show that if: ( 1) a “dynamical hierarchy” of transition probabilities is created which also satisfy the detailed-balance criterion; (2) time increments upon successful events...

Those who already faced the Trend following concept know that effective strategies of following the trend suggest dynamic stop loss level movement without profit limitation. The position is kept until the trend is changed and the order is done. With a proper choice of the market entry point the trader switches a position into the breakeven mode and thus relieves the psychological pressure. With...

Fifteen years ago, Monique Tirion showed that the low-frequency normal modes of a protein are not significantly altered when nonbonded interactions are replaced by Hookean springs, for all atom pairs whose distance is smaller than a given cutoff value. Since then, it has been shown that coarse-grained versions of Tirion's model are able to provide fair insights on many dynamical properties of b...

Illocutionary structure in real language use is intricate and complex, and nowhere more so than in argument and debate. Identifying this structure without any theoretical scaffolding is extremely challenging even for humans. New work in Inference Anchoring Theory has provided significant advances in such scaffolding which are helping to allow the analytical challenges of argumentation structure...

Preface Work in digital imaging and its numerous applications has become a profession for many tens of thousands of engineers and researchers. This book is intended as a text book for studying theoretical foundations of digital imaging to master this profession. It is based on the experience accumulated by the present author for many years of working in the field and teaching various courses in...

This paper considers the case for formalising aspects of intelligent tutoring systems in order to derive more reliable implementations, as opposed to the present use of informal theories to build experimental systems which are then studied empirically. Some recent work in theoretical AI is suggested as a possible source for the elements of a 'theory of ITS'. I n t r o d u c t i o n The engineer...

Tinnitus is the hearing of sound mostly within one’s ears or sometimes within one’s head, without external acoustic stimulus. Tinnitus is a common symptom, which can often be easily cured through medication, noise masking, or psychotherapy, but 10% of cases are considered intractable, causing patients to suffer from insomnia, interference with concentration, and hearing disturbance. If left unc...

The idea of the (“perfect”) cosmological principle (CP), viz. that the Universe presents the same aspect from any place at any time, is traced to the ancient Greek philosophers, who also suggested how such a cosmic order might work. The antithesis of this view, i.e. the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic world-picture, was to become the hallmark of the Dark Ages. The Copernican revolution constitutes the f...
