When LHC experiments like ATLAS [1, 2] and CMS [3] begin to look for signs of supersymmetry (or any other models with large numbers of new particles), one of the first things they will want to probe is the mass scale associated with these new particles, if there are any. Single particles produced in narrow s-channel resonances will in general be easy to spot (one would hope) and will not be con...

Jonathan M. Borwein1, Xianfu Wang August 13, 1999 ABSTRACT. We prove a \typi al" subdi erentiability prin iple and apply it to a variety of omplete metri spa es of ontinuous fun tions on separable Bana h spa es; so as to obtain existen e of fun tions with maximal subdi erentials when ordered by in lusion. The relationship between ontinuous fun tions with maximal subdi erentials and nowhere mono...

Re ent neurophysiologi ndings have un overed some interesting aspe ts of human intelligen e: the mind's thought pro esses are driven by emotions. Even rational thinking does require emotion to fun tion properly. This thesis proposes a model for an agent whose fun tioning is based on emotion. This model is supported by the work of Antonio Damasio [18℄ on unveiling the role of emotion in human ra...

The following Standard ML code can be used for solving constraint systems. The code assumes that phase 1 described earlier has been performed during constraint generation. The imperative aspects of Standard ML have been used a lot and we believe that this must be done for the complexity analysis to hold. For readability we have used standard list notation for the dependency lists although our c...

ion, and substitution is simple: fun replace_term (u,new) t = if t=u then new else case t of Fun(a,ts) => Fun(a, map (replace_term(u,new)) ts) | _ => t; fun abstract t = let fun abs i (Pred(a,ts)) = Pred(a, map (replace_term (t, Bound i)) ts) | abs i (Conn(b,As)) = Conn(b, map (abs i) As) | abs i (Quant(q,b,A)) = Quant(q, b, abs (i+1) A) in abs 0 end; fun subst_bound t = let fun subst i (Pred(a...

This study analyzes on the Social Network Game (SNG), ANIPANG, in order to discover its unique fun elements, so that suggest new methodologies for development of SNGs. ANIPANG is the most popular SNG in the South Korea on 2012. Recently, the game industry is paying close attention to mobile-based SNGs due to the rapid prevalence of smart-phones and social network services. However, SNGs are not...

Biology is known for is being rather unpredictable; people often tell us we are a bit 'quirky', and they generally mean this as a compliment. This likely relates to the 'pleasure of novelty': it is a common experience that when something, even a great work of art, is experienced too often within a short period of time, the pleasure evoked strongly diminishes. The idea of 'fun' in work does not ...

Yampolskiy and others have shown that the space of possible minds is vast, actually infinite (Yampolskiy, 2015). A question of interest is “Which activities can minds perform during their lifetime?” This question is very broad, thus in this article restricted to “Which non-boring activities can minds perform?” The space of potential non-boring activities has been called by Yudkowsky “fun space”...
