Discrete Discrimination

AbstractNumber discrimination has been documented in honeybees. It is not known, however, whether it reflects, as in vertebrates, the operating of an underlying general magnitude system that estimates quantities irrespective of dimensions (e.g., number, space, time) and format (discrete, continuous). We investigated whether bees spontaneously transfer discrete discrimination of number to continuous discrimination of size. Bees were trained to discriminate between different numerical comparisons having either a 0.5 (2 vs. 4 and 4 vs. 8) or 0.67 ratio (2 vs. 3 and 4 vs. 6). Half of the subjects learnt to choose the smaller quantity and the other half the larger quantity. Bees were then tested for spontaneous choice (in the absence of reward) using comparisons with identical numbers but different sizes. Irrespective of the ratio of the stimuli, bees trained to select the smaller numerical quantity chose the congruent smaller size; bees trained to choose the larger numerical quantity chose the congruent larger size. This finding provides the first evidence for a cross-dimensional transfer between discrete (numerical) and continuous (spatial) dimensions in an invertebrate species and supports the hypothesis of a cognitive universality of a coding for general magnitude.

Four types of lies will be analyzed in the novel Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo. Each one stems from a specific area: space, time, love and death. These lies are complementary; the first two permeate into the other two and these complement each other forming a circle of ambiguity and uncertainty in the narrative.

The superradiance phenomena of massive bosons and fermions in the Kerr space–time are studied in the Bargmann–Wigner formulation. In case of bi-spinor, the four independent components spinors correspond to the four bosonic freedom: one scalar and three vectors uniquely. The consistent description of the Bargmann–Wigner equations between fermions and bosons shows that the superradiance of the type with positive energy (0 < ω) and negative momentum near horizon (p H < 0) is shown not to occur. On the other hand, the superradiance of the type with negative energy (ω < 0) and positive momentum near horizon (0 < p H ) is still possible for both scalar bosons and spinor fermions.

It is shown that the sequence of Jordan algebras [Formula: see text], whose elements are the 3 × 3 Hermitian matrices over the division algebras ℝ, [Formula: see text], ℚ and [Formula: see text], can be associated with the bosonic string as well as the superstring. The construction reveals that the space–time symmetries of the first-quantized bosonic string and superstring actions can be related. The bosonic string and the superstring are associated with the exceptional Jordan algebra while the other Jordan algebras in the [Formula: see text] sequence can be related to parastring theories. We then proceed to further investigate a connection between the symmetries of supersymmetric Lagrangians and the transformations associated with the structure group of [Formula: see text]. The N = 1 on-shell supersymmetric Lagrangians in 3, 4 and 6-dimensions with a spin 0 field and a spin 1/2 field are incorporated within the Jordan-algebraic framework. We also make some remarks concerning a possible role for the division algebras in the construction of higher-dimensional extended objects.

The book of Amos contains many undertones of threat, except in the epilogue which, according to many scholars, is redactional The question thus comes to the fore whether this characteristic implies that God is seen by Amos as a God of threat for whom one can only have fear. This article, however, points out Amos’ moral justification of God's deeds. Israel's actions, on the other hand, display a self-centredness and a lack of theocentric and personal approach. Within this framework the history of salvation, especially the exodus and the conquest of the land, as well as the election, covenant and the idea of the remnant, is fossilised and God is made a captive of space, time and relations. However, Amos' proclamation implies that in reality God cannot be made captive - neither of such a religion nor of a theology of threat. Amos envisions a situation in which everything will comply with the real aim set for it/him.

AbstractThe interpretation of Kant's Critical philosophy as a version of traditional idealism has a long history. In spite of Kant's and his commentators’ various attempts to distinguish between traditional and transcendental idealism, his philosophy continues to be construed as committed (whether explicitly or implicitly and whether consistently or inconsistently) to various features usually associated with the traditional idealist project. As a result, most often, the accusation is that his Critical philosophy makes too strong metaphysical and epistemological claims.In his The Revolutionary Kant, Graham Bird engages in a systematic and thorough evaluation of the traditionalist interpretation, as part of perhaps the most comprehensive and compelling defence of a revolutionary reading of Kant's thought. In the third part of this special issue, the exchanges between, on the one hand, Graham Bird and, on the other, Gary Banham, Gordon Brittan, Manfred Kuehn, Adrian Moore and Kenneth Westphal focus on specific aspects of Bird's interpretation of Kant's first Critique. More exactly, the emphasis is on specific aspects of Bird's interpretation of the Introduction, Analytic of Principles and Transcendental Dialectic of Kant's first Critique.The second part of the special issue is devoted to discussions of particular topics in Bird's construal of the remaining significant parts of the first Critique, namely, of the Transcendental Aesthetic and the Analytic of Concepts. Written by Sorin Baiasu and Michelle Grier, these articles examine specific issues in these two remaining parts of the Critique, from the perspective of the debate between the traditionalist and revolutionary interpretation. The special issue begins with an Introduction by the guest co-editors. This provides a summary of the exchanges between Bird and his critics, with a particular focus on the debates stemming from the differences between traditional and revolutionary interpretations of Kant.

In the age of information, it is no secret that the modern science is in a very difficult position. On the one hand, it has high hopes for solving the problems of modern humanity and very practical tasks. On the other hand, science shows limited potential and difficulty in carrying out the tasks. Beyond scientific theory remain such phenomena as gravity and gravitational waves and other unexplored and very useful phenomena. Obviously, the reason for these limited capabilities of modern science is its limited foundation. The foundation of science is determined by its basic axioms. If we expand the foundation of science, we will be able to build a more comprehensive, perfect and voluminous theory. In two monographs and a series of articles the author offers a system of extended axioms (with two new axioms) and a more extended theory (with eight new laws). To the great surprise of even the author, this new theory turned out to be extensive enough to cover and explain and the gravity. Moreover, the extended axioms and theory directly and naturally outlined the algorithm in the explanation of the so-called Gravity Funnels. According to the new axioms and laws, Gravity Funnels are both for suction (accelerating) and for expansion (decelerating). Expansion Gravity Funnel decelerates along its longitudinal direction as emits the matter in the transverse direction. In this way it consumes energy and generates matter. Suction Gravity Funnel accelerates along its longitudinal direction as sucks the matter in transverse direction. In this way it consumes matter and generates energy. The both of Funnels are situated in a new Space-time. The Space-time of decelerating and accelerating Funnels is packed by longitudinal vortices, in which the Space (S) is constant. It is radically different of the Space-Time where we live now. The Space-time where we live now is packed by cross vortices, where the time (T) is constant. According the new Axioms and Laws the two described Space- times are mutually orthogonal.

Physical Beauty

Violence has been a part of daily life in both traditional and digital media. Consequently, neither the existence of violence in the media nor the debates on this subject are new. On the other hand, the presentation of violence in fictional content should be viewed from a different point of view, especially in the context of aesthetization. Within this context, in this chapter, the serial of Penny Dreadful is analyzed. As analyzing method, Tahsin Yücel's model of the “space/time coordinates of narrative” is used. And the subject of “aestheticization of violence” is analyzed through a serial with the elements of person, space, and time. Thus, the role of not only physical beauty but also different components in the aestheticization of violence is examined.

Suppose that n persons each know a different piece of information, and that, whenever a pair of them talk on the telephone, each tells the other all the information he knows at that time. If the calls are made at random, we show that the expected number of calls required for everyone to know all n pieces of information is asymptotically 1.5 n log n + O(n). This sharpens an earlier result of D. W. Boyd and J. M. Steele. Some numerical comparisons are given.

The Difference

We consider the growth of the action for black hole space–time with a fundamental string. Our interest is to find the difference of the behavior between black holes with three different topologies in the scenario of complexity-action conjecture. These black holes have positive, negative and zero curvatures. We would like to calculate the action growth of these systems with a probe fundamental string according to the complexity-action conjecture. We find that for the case where the black holes have the toroidal horizon structure this probe string behaves very differently from the other two cases.
