Abstract In this dossier, Marx's concept of primitive accumulation is applied to socialist development in the Soviet Union, China, and Romania, three countries which revolution occurred before full capitalism. The introduction profiles ideas Evgenii Preobrazhensky, theorist left oppositionist, who first problems development, was executed under Stalin 1937. Preobrazhensky advanced idea “primitiv...

The options framework provides a foundation to use hierarchical actions in reinforcement learning. An agent using options, along with primitive actions, at any point in time can decide to perform a macro-action made out of many primitive actions rather than a primitive action. Such macro-actions can be hand-crafted or learned. There has been previous work on learning them by exploring the envir...

Airborne LiDAR data and optical imagery are two datasets used for 3D building reconstruction. In this paper, the complementarities of these two datasets are utilized to perform a primitive-based 3D building reconstruction. The proposed method comprises following steps: (1) recognize primitives from LiDAR point cloud and roughly measure primitives’ parameters as initial values, and (2) select pr...

A subgroup of the linear translation complement of a translation plane is geometrically irreducible if it has no invariant lines or subplanes. A similar definition can be given for "geometrically primitive". If a group is geometrically primitive and solvable then it is fixed point free or metacyclic or has a normal subgroup 2a+b a of order w where w divides the dimension of the vector space. Si...

The description of resources in game semantics has never achieved the simplicity and precision of linear logic, because of the misleading conception that linear logic is more primitive than game semantics. Here, we defend the opposite view, and thus advocate that game semantics is conceptually more primitive than linear logic. This revised point of view leads us to introduce tensor logic, a pri...

This paper emphasizes the peculiar role of characteristic variables in the design of open boundary conditions (OBCs). It is shown that local OBCs leading to positive results in previous comparative studies do fulfil two requirements : they make use of incoming characteristic variables (i.e. privilege the hyperbolic aspect of the equations), and satisfy a consistency relationship between the mod...

In this article, we consider the factor complexity of a fixed point of a primitive substitution canonically defined by a β-numeration system. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the Rényi expansion of 1 for having an affine factor complexity map C(n), that is, such that C(n) = an+ b for any n ∈ N.

Semantic primitives have been central to Yorick’s approach to language processing. In this peper I review the development of his ideas on the nature and role of primitives, considering them both from the narrower system point of view and in the larger context to which Yorick himself always referred.

We present a new version of conservative ADER-WENO finite volume schemes, in which both the high order spatial reconstruction as well as the time evolution of the reconstruction polynomials in the local space-time predictor stage are performed in primitive variables, rather than in conserved ones. To obtain a conservative method, the underlying finite volume scheme is still written in terms of ...
