This paper derives from a question arised during the analysis of an empirical dataset, where the subjects are described by the estimated means of a p-dimensional variable. Classical statistical methods of Data Analysis do not treat measurement affected by intrinsic variability, as in the case of estimates, so that the heterogeneity induced among subjects by this condition is not taken into acco...

Platform capitalism brings several processes to completion that were already apparent during post-industrial capitalism. One of these involves images and their gradual loss a symbolic dimension. The mechanisms platforms employ direct the production media content reduce objects immediate use consumption. Consequently, fail synthetise multiplicity social reality: instead inscribing it within hori...

and Symbolic Processes (the Cognitive Dimension), sponsored by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, was held on 16 July 1992 at the San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California. The workshop addressed the cognitive aspects of integrating neural and symbolic processes through the comparison, the categorization, and the examination of existing and new approaches. The workshop...

• Care-robot gerontechnology in the homes of older adults is a novel test site. Technology used – domesticated different practical, symbolic and cognitive ways. Domestication technology theory should be expanded to include social dimension. Robot can have multiple effects on care networks relationships. In this article we look at home as an arena for by exploring how robots technological care-s...

This work proposes a query-by-singing (QBS) content-based music retrieval (CBMR) system that uses Approximate Karbunen– Loeve transform for noise reduction. The proposed QBS-CBMR system uses a music clip as a search key. First, a 51-dimensional matrix containing 39-Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) features and 12-Chroma features are extracted from an input music clip. Next, adapted s...

In recent years, the Natural Language Processing scene has witnessed the steady growth of interest in connectionist modeling. The main appeal of such an approach is that one does not have to determine the grammar rules in advance: the learning abilities displayed by such systems take care of input regularities. Better and faster learning can be obtained through the implementation of a symbolic-...

Observational data of natural systems, as measured in medical measurements are typically quite different from those obtained in laboratories. Due to the peculiarities of these data, well-known characteristics, such as power spectra or fractal dimension, often do not provide a suitable description. To study such data, we present here some measures of complexity, which are basing on symbolic dyna...

Many historians of sexuality explore how sexual subjectivity has taken shape in recent centuries, while historical sociologists tend to focus upon the intimate and erotic aspects of emergent social institutions. Symbolic interactionist sociology can add a new dimension to the existing debates, shifting the primary focus from the history of sexuality to a theoretically informed analysis of sexua...

Let F = {Fn} be a multiplicative filtration of a local ring such that the Rees algebra R(F) is Noetherian. We recall Burch’s inequality for F and give an upper bound of the a-invariant of the associated graded ring a(G(F)) using a reduction system of F . Applying those results, we study the symbolic Rees algebra of certain ideals of dimension 2.
