Description • One integer variable xi per applicant ai . • Domain of xi is D(xi) = {j |(ai, pj) ∈ E} ∪ {li}. For each applicant ai , we denote by: • f (ai) the best post in its preference list, called f -post. • li the last-resort post / ∈ P for ai , called l -post. A post pj ∈ P is called an f -post if ∃ai ∈ A such that f (ai) = pj . Preferences without ties For each applicant ai , we denote b...

Embodiment has become an important concept in many areas of cognitive science. There are, however, very different notions of exactly what embodiment is and what kind of body is required for what type of embodied cognition. Hence, while many nowadays would agree that humans are embodied cognizers, there is much less agreement on what kind of artifact could be considered embodied. This paper iden...

This is a pedagogical and (almost) self-contained introduction into the Theorem of Groenewold and van Howe, which states that a naive transcription of Dirac’s quantisation rules cannot work. Some related issues in quantisation theory are also discussed. First-class constrained systems a briefly described in a slightly more ‘global’ fashion.1

Increased recognition of the disproportionately large contribution of newborn health to global child survival has fuelled efforts to address neonatal mortality in resource-limited settings. Stillbirths have not been as well studied despite the fact that more than 3 million stillbirths occur annually, a disease burden that approaches that of postnatal deaths. The poorest countries have the highe...
