Handling of time and scores in patchers such as PureData, Max/MSP has been an ongoing concern for composers and users of such software. We introduce an integration of PureData inside the ossia score interactive and intermedia sequencer, based on libpd. This integration allows to score precisely event that are being sent to a PureData patch, and process the result of the patch’s computations afterwards in score. This paper describes the way this integration has been achieved, and how it enables composers to easily add a temporal dimension to a set of patches, by leveraging both the computational power of PureData and the temporal semantics of the ossia system, in order to create complex compositions.

We investigate the spiking neural P systems with communication on request (SNQ P systems) that are devices in the area of neural like P systems abstracting the way in which neurons work and process information. Here we discuss the SNQ P systems using the rule application strategy as defined by Linqiang Pan and collaborators and we are able to improve their result of universality of such systems using two types of spikes. In the current work, we prove that only one type of spikes is sufficient for reaching the computational power of Turing Machines for these devices, bringing closer to implementation such a device. The result holds both in maximum parallel manner application of the rules as well as the maximum-sequentiality application of rules.

We study the computational power of unitary Clifford circuits with solely magic state inputs (CM circuits), supplemented by classical efficient computation. We show that CM circuits are hard to classically simulate up to multiplicative error (assuming polynomial hierarchy non-collapse), and also up to additive error under plausible average-case hardness conjectures. Unlike other such known classes, a broad variety of possible conjectures apply. Along the way, we give an extension of the Gottesman–Knill theorem that applies to universal computation, showing that for Clifford circuits with joint stabilizer and non-stabilizer inputs, the stabilizer part can be eliminated in favour of classical simulation, leaving a Clifford circuit on only the non-stabilizer part. Finally, we discuss implementational advantages of CM circuits.

Robotics is actually one of the most important technologies; which in the last year has been developing very fast. It’s interdisciplinary since combine mechanics, automatic, electric, and computer since. This paper presents generally the problems in navigation which should be solved by all who wants to build such educational and mobile robots [1, 3, 5, and 7]. For this reason the mechanical structure, module of communication, digital sonar and main board of autonomous and mobile robot for laboratory tasks has been described [2, 4]. After that the operation principle was given and some of the realized tests have been shown. A next possibility of development of the robot has been presented. Moreover the way, which satisfies the need of the large computational power on usually small platforms of mobile robots and the most advantageous sorts of the power supply from the point of view of the robot which realizes specify functions has been described. At the end of paper the conclusions has been extracted. Wide laboratory tests of the robot presented in this paper fully confirm all guideliness. In spite of fact that the device is very simple and very cheep, succesfully meet tasks in teaching, and enables students to meet fascinating subject of the mobile robots. Possibility of extension this subject can be continued during realization of other programs.

Diderot's Promenade du sceptique has sometimes been criticised for a somewhat systematic use of allegory, associated with a tripartite division of space summarising and tracing, between the thorns of devotion, the flowers of worldly life, and the chestnut trees of philosophy, the three paths of life available to men. The work's device is nevertheless much more complex and elaborate, and is affected by a diffuse scepticism from within. Open rather than closed, the space and the places of the walk in La Promenade du sceptique are misleadingly the support of an analogical understanding of the world. The writing of the walk becomes a metaphor for the intellectual dynamic that doubts and searches. Movement in its temporal dimension, as a concrete experience, challenges the conception of a geometric space, mocks deism as well as idealism, and opens the way to the experimental method and the materialist hypothesis.

Abstract Conflicts and their discursive representations involve, apart from the spacio-temporal dimension, also the socio-ideological and axiological positions. These prompt the desired emotional response from the audience in a form of authorization for the intended action. All these dimensions are mainly construed by presenting series of assertions by creating the dichotomy self-other and by triggering implicatures that contribute to the preferred interpretations of the presented representations. This paper aims to examine the role of quotes and historical analogies triggered by quotes in discourse, concretely, it focuses on the way the Ukrainian conflict is proximized in the US and the Czech political discourse, namely in the parliamentary debates and governmental statements (November 2013–December 2014). The theoretical framework applied is the proximization approach (Cap 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2017) which is complemented by the studies that explore the pragmatic functions of quoting in discourse.

The scientific community is facing a revolution in several aspects of its modus operandi , ranging from the way science is done—data production, collection, analysis—to the way it is communicated and made available to the public, be that an academic audience or a general one. These changes have been largely determined by two key players: the big data revolution or, less triumphantly, the impressive increase in computational power and data storage capacity; and the accelerating paradigm switch in science publication, with people and policies increasingly pushing towards open access frameworks. All these factors prompt the undertaking of initiatives oriented to maximize the effectiveness of the computational efforts carried out worldwide. Taking the moves from these observations, we here propose a coordinated initiative, focusing on the computational biophysics and biochemistry community but general and flexible in its defining characteristics, which aims at addressing the growing necessity of collecting, rationalizing, sharing and exploiting the data produced in this scientific environment.

The article investigates the prepositional-temporal semantics of prepositional equivalents, determines the philosophical and linguistic interpretation of categories of time and space, distinguishes the lexical composition of those prepositional units that are carriers of locative and temporal semantics, establishes contextual conditions under which each of the that semantic nuance, it was found that the immediate environment (verb and dependent noun) significantly affect the content plan of the prepositional equivalent. The aim of the article is to elucidate the peculiarities of the functioning of prepositional equivalents with locative and temporal semantics. It was established that the prepositional equivalents immediately after, immediately before, immediately after, from the depth, behind the shoulders, on the way from, on the way from… to, on the way to, in place, in the interval from… to, in the interval between, in the middle can to be representatives of both locative and temporal significance. Their specific semantic nuance depends on the immediate context.

Abstract Artificially intelligent systems (ai) are increasingly becoming the ubiquitous, unseen arbiters of our social, civic and familial lives. Ever increasing computational power, combined with almost limitless data, has led to a turning point in the way artificial intelligence assists, judges, and cares for humans. In the wake of such power we must ask ourselves what it is that we are making inherently unknowable as the world becomes more predictable, managed, and discrete. Building on the work of black feminists Sylvia Wynter and Hortense Spillers, I perform a reading of the “flesh”. I aim to hint towards a different field of relations and a knowledge politic premised on unknowability and the radical potential of the subjugated to foster new imaginaries of the human fluid enough to weather instability. This piece troubles the boundaries inscribed between things. Settled in the flesh of blackness, we are reminded of the ways that blackness floods the landscape of productive reason while holding outlier ways of being beyond Western Man. This paper seeks to return to the pulse found within the flesh as a critical site for thinking through alternate ways of being, within the messiness, the unstable, the precarious; finding life born of transition, the pulse within discord.

In simulations, when using multipartitioned computers, the way in which the mesh is partitioned directly affects the average time per iteration, and therefore, the computational cost. This study proposes an analysis of the average time per iteration of 23 different partition methods available for tridimensional mesh in software FLUENT 19.2. For the calculation of the average iteration time, 100 iterations were used. Generally, the best partitioning methods were those in which the mesh division was made perpendicularly to the axis of the equipment. It was stated the choice of an adequate partitioning method can save high costs of computational power. For the hydrocyclone studied, with a computer with 8 cores, approximately 24.56 hours of simulation were saved, representing almost 20% of the total time.
