the immortality of the rational soul is one of the most important issues of ibn sina’s philosophy and anthropology. he poses many arguments in proving this subject. ibn sina proves the immortality of rational soul by not having relation or position of the intelligible concepts, indefinite power of the rational soul in his actions as well as its needlessness to sensible faculties in some of its ...

Peerages and baronetages were successful commercial directories sold by a number of prominent London booksellers from the beginning 18th century. They provided an account most titled families (peers as well baronets). As serial publications, they intended for larger public in need identification tools context expanding urban sociability major recomposition within elites. In these pocket books, ...

A system has been developed that can project an embodied agent’s image and sound anywhere in a room. It can thus overcome the problems inherent to other embodied agents in dealing with 2D on-screen information and 3D physical information simultaneously. An experiment demonstrated that this ‘PROT’ agent can effectively present both on-screen information and real-world physical information. Becau...

We develop the `duality approach', that has been extensively studied for classical models of transport, quantum systems in contact with a thermal `Lindbladian' bath. The method provides (a) mapping original model to simpler one, containing only few particles and (b) shows any dynamic process this kind generic baths may be mapped onto one equilibrium baths. exemplify through study particular mod...

The article analyses and interprets the basic structure of process intellectual cognition in Thomas Aquinas. After a short chapter on sense cognition, Aquinas?s understanding active intellect is presented, that illumination phantasms abstraction intelligible species by intellect. Special attention given to difference between phantasm species. Consideration possible shows two steps, reception cr...

This paper describes a statistical parametric speech synthesizer that, despite having been trained on an ordinary synthesis database and without any adaptation data, is able to generate highly intelligible speech in noisy environments. By using a simple and flexible vocoder based on a harmonic model, it applies several noise-independent modifications to durations, pitch level and range, energy ...

Higher education biology is often imagined, perceived, and described as having reached gender equality in terms of who gets to participate disciplinary practices. However, like any other natural science discipline, higher a world whose landscapes are shaped by (re)productions historical, cultural, social norms. We explore these norms through the lens identity, asking what identities recognized ...

When compared to human speech, synthesized speech is distinguished by insu cient intelligibility, inappropriate prosody and inadequate expressiveness. These are serious drawbacks for conversational computer systems. Intelligibility is basic | intelligible phonemes are necessary for word recognition. Prosody | intonation (melody) and rhythm | clari es syntax and semantics and aids in discourse o...

With this workshop, we seek to provide a forum for exchanging design principles, programming techniques, toolkits and insights derived from real world studies towards building intelligible and user-controllable pervasive computing systems. Drawing upon the state-of-the-art, our goal is to refine existing and identify new directions for research in intelligibility and control for pervasive compu...
