Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which i...

The debate on probabilistic measures of coherence has focused on evaluating sets of consistent propositions. In this paper we draw attention to the largely neglected question of whether such measures concur with intuitions on test cases with inconsistent propositions and whether they satisfy general adequacy constraints on coherence and inconsistency. While it turns out that, for the vast major...

Existing approaches on Web services privacy dominate solutions from a users’ perspective, giving little consideration to the preferences of Web service providers. The integration of service providers’ preferences into Web services’ operations is discussed in this paper. A Web service provider indicates peer Web services that it could interact with as well as the data that they could exchange wi...

It is revealed the invalidity of idea that famous Schrodinger's cat thought experiment can be a quantum touchstone. The arguments are: (i) probabilistic incorrectness in (over)rating subject, (ii) possibility imagining non-quantum scenarios but completely similar to (iii) lack ratified practical tests having genuine essence (i.e., non-counterfeit). So, aforesaid appears as simplistic exercise w...

We have applied the TOUCHSTONE structure prediction algorithm that spans the range from homology modeling to ab initio folding to all protein targets in CASP5. Using our threading algorithm PROSPECTOR that does not utilize input from metaservers, one threads against a representative set of PDB templates. If a template is significantly hit, Generalized Comparative Modeling designed to span the r...

Matrix multiplication is a key primitive in block matrix algorithms such as those found in LAPACK. We present results from our study of matrix multiplication algorithms on the Intel Touchstone Delta, a distributed memory message-passing architecture with a two-dimensional mesh topology. We obtain an implementation that uses communications primitives highly suited to the Delta and exploits the s...
