Investigation into the sequence structure of the genetic code by means of an informatic approach is a real success story. The features of human language are also the object of investigation within the realm of formal language theories. They focus on the common rules of a universal grammar that lies behind all languages and determine generation of syntactic structures. This universal grammar is ...

Parsing is the process of structuring a l inear depiction in accordance with a g iven grammar. The “linear depiction” may be a language sentence, a computer program, a weaving pattern, a sequence of biological strata, a part of music, actions in a ritual performance, in short any linear chain in which the preceding elements in some way confine the next element. Parsing with finite automata netw...

На примере реальной ситуации, однажды разыгравшейся между известным художником и теоретиком искусства Иоханессом Иттеном его учениками на одном из уроков учебного курса (форкурса) в Баухаусе, Высшей школе строительства художественного конструирования, существовавшей Германии период с 1919 по 1933 год, выявляется оптическая двойственность визуального поля натюрморта.

With the emergence of Web 2.0, people are able to share their thoughts and photos with their friends and strangers. Yet, they also risk invasion of their privacy. Information privacy has therefore become an important issue in the information age. In this research, we focus on the influence of anger on immoral judgment of privacy invasion in cyberspace. Specifically, two scenarios, nonviolent an...

This paper presents a two-dimensional investigation of the phase diagram for global minimizers to a Cahn–Hilliard functional with long-range interactions. Based upon the H−1 gradient flow, we introduce a hybrid numerical method to navigate through the complex energy landscape and access an accurate depiction of the ground state of the functional. We use this method to numerically compute the ph...

arsacid monarchy as the third iranian dynasty played an important role in the ancient era for five centuries. however, due to the inadequacy of written documents from that era, coins are considered precious sources for us to identify the political, historical, cultural, artistic, and religious views and ideas of that time, i.e. arsacid kings. concerning the similarities between the employed sym...

It has become a commonplace for reviews of books on consciousness to ask: Do we really need another book on consciousness? But in reviewing Igor Aleksander's latest book, I can brush this question aside, as there are relatively few books on its particular sub-topic: machine consciousness (other notable exceptions include, e.g. [1,2]). 'Machine consciousness' is perhaps a misleading term – it co...
