Over the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in the field of bereavement: From the traditional view that insists on the necessity of disengagement, toward a position that postulates the need for a continuing connection. The authors propose to move beyond the dichotomy that was created by the two paradigms and conceive of it as a process of transformation that involves both disengagemen...

The optimal combination of language model (LM) and language understanding model (LUM) varies depending on available training data and utterances to be handled. Usually, a lot of effort and time are needed to find the optimal combination. Instead, we have designed and developed a new framework that uses multiple LMs and LUMs to improve speech understanding accuracy under various situations. As o...

We investigate how well the shape parameterizations are applicable for studying the giant dipole resonance (GDR) in nuclei, in the low temperature and/or high spin regime. The shape fluctuations due to thermal effects in the GDR observables are calculated using the actual free energies evaluated at fixed spin and temperature. The results obtained are compared with Landau theory calculations don...

Abstract Quantum mechanics supersedes classical mechanics, and social science, some argue, should be responsive to this change. This paper finds that two rather different arguments are currently being used argue quantum is epistemically relevant in science. One, attributed Alexander Wendt, appeals the presence of physical effects world. The other, Karen Barad, insists on importance metaphysics ...

Splenic cysts are rarely detected, and clinically diagnosed commonly as spleenomegaly . Thenature of the cyst could not be pre-operatively because its’ anatomical location andonly confirmed by histopathological assessments. These found a sequel ofsplenic infarct followed abscess formation. This is very rare condition minor boy ofonly 10 years’ old who presented with hugely enlarged spleen. The ...

What does it mean to talk about ‘legal spaces’; about law spatially and space legally? What is the research agenda that this volume announces, whose relevance it demonstrates, and whose methodology it showcases? The study of space in law insists first and foremost on the material world as essentially constitutive of law. In both the analytic and the continental traditions of jurisprudence, law ...

The introductory personal remarks refer to my motivations for choosing research projects, and for moving from physics to molecular biology and then to development, with Hydra as a model system. Historically, Trembley's discovery of Hydra regeneration in 1744 was the beginning of developmental biology as we understand it, with passionate debates about preformation versus de novo generation, mech...

This article is an account of the dynamics of interaction across the social sciences and neurosciences. Against an arid rhetoric of 'interdisciplinarity', it calls for a more expansive imaginary of what experiment - as practice and ethos - might offer in this space. Arguing that opportunities for collaboration between social scientists and neuroscientists need to be taken seriously, the article...

We provide an existence and uniqueness theory for an extension of backward SDEs to the second order. While standard Backward SDEs are naturally connected to semilinear PDEs, our second order extension is connected to fully nonlinear PDEs, as suggested in [4]. In particular, we provide a fully nonlinear extension of the Feynman-Kac formula. Unlike [4], the alternative formulation of this paper i...
