since the renaissance contend ideas for a theory of a new understanding of the concept of science and knowledge. move omitted the role of knowledge-building and the formulation of the concept of science, which is created and consists of theory and shape so as to complement to be material technical and technological dimensions in the basic sciences. and is disclosure the role of the humanities a...

State of the art formalisms for distributed ontology integration provide ways to express semantic relations between concepts belonging to different ontologies. However, the extensive usage of multiple distributed ontologies requires the capability for expressing different forms of mappings, which extend the semantic relations between concepts studied so far. In this paper, we propose an extensi...

Dynamic web service invocation without special client software may help the adoption of service-oriented architectures on the consumer stage. Ad-hoc usage of services requires a powerful set of concepts to visualise the service input and output messages in a user-friendly, ergonomic and extensible way. Such concepts are collected in a research effort named Web Service Graphical User Interface a...

G + C composition at the third codon position (GC3) is widely reported to be correlated with synonymous codon usage bias. However, no quantitative attempt has been made to compare the extent of this correlation among different genomes. Here, we applied Shannon entropy from information theory to measure the degree of GC3 bias and that of synonymous codon usage bias of each gene. The strength of ...

Human-beings tend to simplify, unify and cluster characteristics in phenomena by concepts as well as interrelate them in order to build a knowledge structure for their thoughts and notions. In this paper we want to focus on the application of concepts in the field of learning and teaching. First, possible application fields as well as interesting research and development are represented. Second...

In this paper we investigate a new formal model of machine learning in which the concept (boolean function) to be learned may exhibit uncertain or probabilistic behavior|thus, the same input may sometimes be classiied as a positive example and sometimes as a negative example. Such probabilistic concepts (or p-concepts) may arise in situations such as weather prediction, where the measured varia...

Observations of apparently random phenomena are commonplace in science. However, randomness and Christian belief are often seen as incompatible, both by naturalists and by theists. This article argues that the scientific concept of randomness and the historic Christian understanding of God’s nature are compatible. It argues that the existence of randomness cannot be settled scientifically; neve...

This document presents the results of the seminar “Conceptual Architecture Patterns” of the winter term 2002 in the Hasso–Plattner–Institute. It is a compilation of the student’s elaborations dealing with some conceptual architecture patterns which can be found in literature. One important focus laid on the runtime structures and the presentation of the patterns.
