Why Is a Representationalist Analysis Useful? In this chapter I will briefly sketch the outline of a representationalist theory of subjective experience. (See also Metzinger 1993, forthcoming). A representationalist theory is one that chooses to analyze its target properties – those aspects of the domain which eventually are to be explained – on a certain level of description: by describing con...

THE Queen's University received a benefaction from Mrs. Carnwath and her family in 1955 to provide prizes in social and preventive medicine in memory of her husband, the late Dr. Thomas Carnwath. These awards originally took the form of a medal and book prize for the student gaining the highest place in the final part one examination in social and preventive medicine, a book prize for the stude...

T Sydenham is undoubtedly the most celebrated British physician. He has been considered the father of English medicine and the English equivalent of Hippocrates.1 Sydenham was born on September 1624 in Wynford Eagle, Dorset. He joined Magdalene Hall, Oxford at the age of e ighteen to study m e d i c i n e . H o w e v e r there was an interruption in his studies because o f h i s p a r t i c i p...

R346 Current Biology 26, R343–R354, May 9 odoratus L. Second, he dissects the fl ower cutting the petal and ovary with scalpel and observes it with magnifying glass. Third, he makes sketches and photographs the parts of the dissected fl ower. Fourth, he models its form and structure using 3ds Max (3DCG software). Fifth, he renders separate parts and creates a composition using Adobe Photoshop. ...

My primary research focus is on inverse problems in imaging with applications to science and industry. More broadly, I apply mathematical techniques to model, simulate, and analyze physical and biological systems. Currently, I have active research projects in de-noising of remote sensing images, in image formation for computational photography, and in fast multipole methods for molecular dynami...

Captain and Quartermaster, R.A.M.C.(T.) ; Steward, Southmead Hospital. Thomas Jones began his career with the Guardians of the Parish of Lambeth in 1896, and was subsequently Master of Alresford Workhouse, Hants., from 1903 to 1905. Then, coming to Bristol, he was successively Storekeeper and Master's Clerk at Eastville Institution until he was promoted to be Steward at Southmead Infirmary in S...

We present an algorithm for wheeled mobile robot trajectory generation that achieves a high degree of generality and efficiency. The generality derives from numerical linearization and inversion of forward models of propulsion, suspension, and motion for any type of vehicle. Efficiency is achieved by using fast numerical optimization techniques and effective initial guesses for the vehicle cont...

The authors delineate the importance of a mentoring relationship and recommend strategies for universities, mentors, and graduate students to encourage the effective mentoring of minority students. Specifically, functional mentoring is the cornerstone of succeeding in graduate studies and in one's career. The protégé receives benefits via networking and " academic guidance, career development, ...

This study investigates the potential of an intelligence model namely, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in prediction of the Zn metal ions adsorption in comparision with two well known empirical models included Thomas and Yoon methods. For this purpose, an organic-inorganic core/shell structure, γ-Fe2O3/polyrhodanine nanocomposite with γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticle as core with average diam...
