The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

This paper describes Data-Weighted-Averaging (DWA) algorithms for multibit complex bandpass ∆ΣAD modulators with arbitrary signal bands. In most of bandpass ∆ΣAD modulators, their sampling frequency is chosen as four times of the center frequency of their signal band in order to simplify the following digital filter design. But with this relationship, their performance would be limited by the t...

The implantation of programs which gives a robot the ability to perform a non-repetitive task (task not completely de®ned called also unexpected), was hindered by a complex problem: the dif®culty met by the classical method in programming (procedural) to formulate a task which the evolution model does not obey to an algorithmic pre-established design. As a part of that the aim of this paper is ...

David Hume’s value theory—in particular, his theory of prudential value or self-interest—is rarely investigated in any depth. Though he makes a number of claims about what is in someone’s interest (including his discussion of the prudential value of the virtues in the second Enquiry1), there is very little material in Hume’s philosophic writing that yields a clear statement of his theory of wha...

One of the arguments for functional programming is better modular design. By analyzing publications advocating this approach, in particular through the example of a framework for financial contracts, we assess is strengths and weaknesses, and compare it with object-oriented design. The overall conclusion is that objectoriented design, especially in a modern form supporting high-level routine ob...

At its most fundamental, cognition as displayed by biological agents (such as humans) may be described as being the manipulation and utilisation of memory. A low-level approach to the associative sensory-motor development of cognition is then appropriate, rather than the more common higher-level functional approach. A novel theoretical framework – the memory-based cognitive framework (MBCF) – i...

The kinematic sensitivity has been recently proposed as a unit-consistent performance index to circumvent several shortcomings of some notorious indices such as dexterity. This paper presents a systematic interval approach for computing an index by which two important kinematic properties, namely feasible workspace and kinematic sensitivity, are blended into each other. The proposed index may b...

In this paper we suggest a user-subjective approach to Personal Information Management (PIM) system design. This approach advocates that PIM systems relate to the subjective value-added attributes that the user gives to the data stored in the PIM system. These attributes should facilitate system use: help the user find the information item again, recall it when needed and use it effectively in ...
