A probabilistic model defines the joint distribution for a set of random variables. For example, imagine that a friend of yours claims to possess psychic powers – in particular, the power of psychokinesis. He proposes to demonstrate these powers by flipping a coin, and influencing the outcome to produce heads. You suggest that a better test might be to see if he can levitate a pencil, since the...

adjudication independence can be studied in two areas namely independency of judicial power and independency of judge. the first one is based on the separation of powers theory but judge independence means its freedom from parties and their attorneys and its independence in intern of judiciary power. this sense of independence has two objectives: 1) judge's freedom in applying the law to f...

In 2012, UT Austin Villa claimed the Standard Platform League championships at both the US Open and the 2012 RoboCup competition held in Mexico City. This paper describes the code release associated with the team and discusses the key contributions of the release. This release will enable teams entering the Standard Platform League and researchers using the Naos to have a solid foundation from ...

The association of twins with health-giving powers is widespread in mythology, folklore, and religion. The Ashvins of the Rig-Veda, the classical Dioscuri, and the early Christian saints Cosmos and Damian are among the many examples of twins divinely empowered in the area of health and fertility. A characteristic set of attributes of twins recurs in different mythologies of wide distribution. I...

Causal powers, say, an electron’s power to repel other electrons, are had in virtue of having properties. Electrons repel other electrons because they are negatively charged. One’s views about causal powers are shaped by—and shape—one’s views concerning properties, causation, laws of nature and modality. It is no surprise, then, that views about the nature of causal powers are generally embedde...

The frequency hopping (FH) based ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system divides its available frequency spectrum into several sub-bands, which leads to inherent disparities between carrier frequencies of each sub-band. Since the propagation loss is proportional to the square of the transmission frequency, the propagation loss on the sub-band having the highest carrier frequency is much large...

We initiate and examine integer powers of the (possibly unbounded) diagonal operators on the so-called p-adic Hilbert space Eω (see [10], [11], and [3]). For that, we first give and recall the required background on author’s recent work related to the formalism of unbounded linear operators in the p-adic setting [5]. Next, we shall be dealing with integer powers of the diagonal operators, their...
