Abstract In previous publications, it was argued that because energy and matter are aligned in the thin increment of present time for an observer, spacetime should must have surface tension. this paper, we review how to apply 4-dimensional continuum mechanics with imaginary coordinates derive a mechanical model Then, continue development, discuss concept preferred curvature from physical chemis...

A local learning rule is shown to be able to account for the association of images together on the basis of temporal order rather than spatial con guration, as described in single cell recording results published by Miyashita (1988). Possible reasons for requiring such learning are then given in the context of invariant object recognition This work was supported by a Fellowship from the Max-Pla...

Gravitino is one feasible candidate for the dark matter in supergravity models. With its couplings being suppressed by the Plank mass, gravitino interacts very weakly with other particles, making its direct detection, or production at colliders practically impossible. The signatures of this scenario mainly arise from the next lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) which is metastable due to th...

A recent study by Plank et al. (2016) found that LSTM-based PoS taggers considerably improve over the current state-of-theart when evaluated on the corpora of the Universal Dependencies project that use a coarse-grained tagset. We replicate this study using a fresh collection of 27 corpora of 21 languages that are annotated with fine-grained tagsets of varying size. Our replication confirms the...

Studies of biotic remains of polar ice caps have been limited to morphological identification of plant pollen and spores. By using sensitive molecular techniques, we now demonstrate a much greater range of detectable organisms; from 2000- and 4000-year-old ice-core samples, we obtained and characterized 120 clones that represent at least 57 distinct taxa and reveal a diversity of fungi, plants,...

Policies and programs designed to support ‘ageing well’ represent a key plank in government and community responses to the challenges of population ageing (1-3). Supporting ageing well might be defined as “the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age” (3 p.12). This is a broad goal, touching on virtually all the...
