We develop a conceptual and formal clarification of the notion of surprise as a belief-based phenomenon by exploring a rich typology. Each kind of surprise is associated with a particular phase of the cognitive processing and involves particular kinds of epistemic representations (representations and expectations under scrutiny, implicit beliefs, presuppositions). We define two main kinds of su...

aids for translators are beginning to look inviting and actual machine translation (MT), thrown ignominiously out of fashion by the ALPAC report in 1966, is now in use. Only our scepticism is unchanged. We remain wary, especially of MT. Yet although machine translat ion – or rather, in most cases, machine pretranslation – certainly has farreaching implications, it is not, it seems, a threat to ...

believe no mention of this property of the drug lias been made in the medical journals. It came under my observation accidentally at this hospital, in the case of a Borah woman, aged 30, suffering from keratitis and hypopion in both eyes. At the time she arrived I was in the wards, but on account of the great pain and photophobia from which she was suffering, my assistant put some drops of a 2 ...

The principle of continuity in financial reporting is a fundamental element the preparation reporting. final amounts report are, by definition, opening following year. Of course, reverse also true. values one year represent closing previous In Italy, this only half applied taxation. It applies to future (i.e. year) but does not apply past year). particular interest position Italian Court Cassat...

Resumo: In her work Eichmann in Jerusalem: a report on the banality of evil, Hannah Arendt (1999) analyzes trial Adolf – former Nazi regime official responsible for deportation European Jews during Holocaust, who, turn, became an expert matter. Jewish. During trial, author highlights inability to escape bureaucratic clichés and conspicuous superficiality conventional standardized conduct. Faced...

In this paper, an improved scheme of adaptive flux observer of induction motor is proposed. This adaptive observer is used with fieldoriented control of induction machine. It is based on using induction motor model with the estimation of the load torque besides the estimation of the stator resistance. The robustness of this observer with respect to the variation of the stator resistance. The pe...

in the exposition of man's reality and the interpretation of mutual relation of soul and body, today's human beings are no less astonishment than those in the age of plato. in the present age, although there has been provided the background of scientific research, the materialistic tendencies are found more than before. the main reasons of such a thing are the inadequacy of philosophi...

A field-circuit method for simulation of transients in a single-phase, two-winding transformer has been given. The magnetic field excited by the winding currents has been analyzed, and integral parameters have been determined. Including the equivalent circuit parameters and the magnetic residual flux in the silicon steel core, the developed method has been implemented for the transitional state...
