Go is one notable board game where computer competence still trails behind that of human experts. In the past, neural-network-based approaches have shown promise. In this paper, the ESP variant of the SANE neuro-evolution algorithm was applied to go, and an alternate network architecture featuring subnetworks specialized for certain board regions was implemented. ESP produced simpler networks t...

PURPOSE This systematic review updates one conducted in 2008 into extended scope practice (ESP) in physiotherapy in orthopedics. METHODS A comprehensive open-ended search was conducted using electronic library data-bases and Google Scholar to identify any primary study design reporting on physiotherapists working in ESP roles within orthopedic settings. Studies were allocated to the National ...

Based on the premise that psi information is initially processed at an unconscious level, parapsychologists have repeatedly drawn parallels between subliminal perception and extrasensory perception. For instance, defensiveness resistance to, or distortion of, unpleasant or threatening information has been considered to affect both subliminal and extrasensory perception. This thesis reviews stud...

English for Specific Purposes, so far, is probing its way in our Sudanese universities. It is taught as a university requirement. Unfortunately, our students are disappointed when they graduate confronting the real situation in the workplace to use their ESP background. Most of the students feel they discontent with the syllabus which had been taught, because it doesn’t meet their needs. Furthe...

Empirical replication has long been considered the final arbiter of phenomena in science, but replication is undermined when there is evidence for publication bias. Evidence for publication bias in a set of experiments can be found when the observed number of rejections of the null hypothesis exceeds the expected number of rejections. Application of this test reveals evidence of publication bia...

Scientifi c investigations of extrasensory perception are scarce despite the fact that anomalous paranormal experiences are common in psychiatric and general populations. This report investigated self-reported cases of telepathy-like experiences induced by smoking Salvia divinorum or by ingestion of LSD. Trip reports posted on a recreational drug website have been saved and analyzed for the pre...

Two experiments compare pe~orlnance on a prototype indicator of perceptual defencelvtgilance with performance on other related measures of individual differences. On the basis of theoretical expectations and empirical findings, participants’ performance on the prototype indicator of perceptual defencelvigilance was predicted to relate to the personality factor of Neuroticism, and to performance...
