Power spectral densities are a common, convenient, and powerful way to analyze signals, so much that they now broadly deployed across the sciences engineering—from quantum physics cosmology from crystallography neuroscience speech recognition. The features reveal not only identify prominent signal frequencies but also hint at mechanisms generate correlation lead resonance. Despite their near-ce...

Recent practise has revealed that conservation interventions that seek to achieve multiple benefits generally face significant, if under-recognized trade-offs. REDD+ policies present prospective win–win solutions for climate change mitigation, rural development and biodiversity conservation. Notably, protecting, enhancing and restoring forests for their carbon sequestration services has the pot...

Experts and clinical guidelines recommend using long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics to prevent relapse among people diagnosed with schizophrenia who do not adhere to oral antipsychotic regimens. These recommendations belie a continued lack of strong evidence that LAIs have advantages over oral medications for this purpose. Ostensibly, the failure of LAIs to demonstrate the hypothesized ...

Enterprises thrive on a good product performance. In that case, most of them shift focus establishing quality management system, thus enabling string controls to safeguard quality. System constructions certain companies, however, belie actual practices, resulting in modest improvements and even minus effect, no matter what mode is adopted. This paper expounds feasible paths enhancing performanc...

Introduction As a method of evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis is relatively simple in its principles, with a thorough presentation given by Levin and McEwan (2001). However, these simple principles belie the complexity of cost-effectiveness analysis in practice. Perhaps these complexities explain the dearth of proper cost-effectiveness studies, a dearth identified by Levin (2001), and – i...

The temporal granularity of consciousness may be far less fine than the real-time information processing mechanisms that underlie our sensitivity to small temporal differences. It is suggested that conscious time perception, like space perception, is subject to errors that belie a unitary underlying representation. E. R. Clay's (The Alternative: A Study in Psychology, 1882) concept of the "spec...

As discussed in previous papers, belie] conte.~a are a powerful ud appropriate formalism for the representation and implementation of propositional attitudes in a multiagent environment, In this paper we show that a formalization using belief contexts is also elaboration tolerant. That is, it is able to cope with minor changes to input problems without major revisions. Elaboration tolerance is ...
