A Study on Google is an Artificial Encyclopedia Affecting Human Intelligence - An Empirical Study
No full textGoogle is opening this platform to the world, which gives us an equal opportunity to peek in and see how the company thinks about developing machine learning systems. Internally, Google has spent the last five years building a massive platform for artificial intelligence and now they're unleashing it on the world. Although Google would prefer you call it machine intelligence they feel that the word artificial intelligence carries too many connotations and fundamentally they're trying to create genuine intelligence just in machine. The internet makes things faster, but faster is not always necessarily. Better we don't want to sacrifice our critical thinking and uniqueness for the attainment of a modest amount of additional productivity our cognitive thinking is one of our greatest possessions and we should take this extra time to preserve it.

The universal rank-(n-1) bundle on G(1, n) restricted to subvarieties
No full textThe author has, in several articles, studied varieties in the Grassmannian G(k, n) of kplanes in projective n-space, that are projections from a variety in G(k,N). In the case k = 1 the varieties of dimension n−1 in G(1, n) that are projections from G(1,N) were studied by E. Arrondo and I. Sols [“On congruences of lines in the projective space”,
M´em. Soc. Math. Fr., Nouv. S´er. 50 (1992; Zbl 0804.14016)] and solved for n = 3 by E. Arrondo [J. Algebr. Geom. 8, No. 1, 85-101 (1999; Zbl 0945.14030)]. In the paper under review the author studies the other extreme k = n−1, n−2. The case k = n−1 is solved completely, and in the case k = n−2 it is shown that if Y is a smooth variety of dimension s in G(1, n) whose dual Y in G(n − 2, n) is a non-trivial projection from G(n − 2, n + 1), then s = n − 1 and Y is completely classified. The methods are from classical projective geometry and based upon results by E. Rogora [Manuscr. Math. 82, No. 2, 207-226 (1994; Zbl 0812.14038)] and B.

Experimental investigation into the effect of substrate clamping on the piezoelectric behaviour of thick-film PZT elements
No full textThis paper details an experimental investigation of the clamping effect associated with thick-film piezoelectric elements printed on a substrate. The clamping effect reduces the measured piezoelectric coefficient, d33, of the film. This reduction is due to the influence of the d31 component in the film when a deformation of the structure occurs, by either the direct or indirect piezoelectric effect. Theoretical analysis shows a reduction in the measured d33 of 62%, i.e. a standard bulk lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-5H sample with a manufacturer specified d33 of 593pC/N would fall to 227.8pC/N. To confirm this effect, the d33 coefficients of five thin bulk PZT-5H samples of 220µm thickness were measured before and after their attachment to a metallized 96% alumina substrate. The experimental results show a reduction in d33 of 74% from 529pC/N to 139pC/N. The theoretical analysis was then applied to existing University of Southampton thick-film devices. It is estimated that the measured d33 value of 131pC/N of the thick-film devices is the equivalent of an unconstrained d33 of 345pC/N
Liquid dynamic medicine and N-of-1 clinical trials: A change of perspective in oncology research
No full textThe increasing use of genomics to define the pattern of actionable mutations and to test and validate new therapies for individual cancer patients, and the growing application of liquid biopsy to dynamically track tumor evolution and to adapt molecularly targeted therapy according to the emergence of tumor clonal variants is shaping modern medical oncology., In order to better describe this new therapeutic paradigm we propose the term "Liquid dynamic medicine" in the place of "Personalized or Precision medicine". Clinical validation of the "Liquid dynamic medicine" approach is best captured by N-of-1 trials where each patient acts as tester and control of truly personalized therapies. © 2017 The Author(s)
A study on the reliability of consecutive k-Out-of-n: G systems based on Copula
No full textThe computation of reliability characteristics of a system that consists of dependent components is sometimes difficult especially when the type of dependence is not known. This article introduces the copula method to calculate the reliability of dependent consecutive k-out-of-n: G systems. The components in these systems are dependent on each other and the dependency may be either linear or nonlinear. The copula is a popular tool for modeling the dependence structure of data. It contains the information about the dependency structure of a vector of random variables and can capture nonlinear dependence. Based on the copula theory, the article analyzes the consecutive k-out-of-n: G systems and gets the reliability indexes. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results obtained in this article.Peer reviewe
The Rei(g)n of ‘Rule’ /
No full textThe Rei(g)n of Rule is a study of rules and their role in language. Rules have dominated the philosophical arena as a fundamental philosophical concept. Little progress, however, has been made in reaching an accepted definition of rules. This fact is not coincidental. The concept of rule is expected to perform various, at times conflicting, tasks. Analyzing key debates and rule related discussions in the philosophy of language I show that typically rules are perceived and defined either as norms or as conventions. As norms, rules perform the evaluative task of distinguishing between correct and incorrect actions. As conventions, rules describe how certain actions are actually undertaken. As normative and conventional requirements do not necessarily coincide, the concept of rule cannot simultaneously accommodate both. The impossibility to consistently define ‘rule’ has gone unnoticed by philosophers, and it is in this sense that ‘rule’ has also blocked philosophical attempts to explain language in terms of rules.The Rei(g)n of Rule is a study of rules and their role in language.

Motion of quantum vortex lines near realistic rough boundaries
No full textWe numerically solve the three--dimensional, time--dependent Gross--Pitaevskii equation to model a superfluid flowing over a realistic rough boundary. Our model for the boundary is based on the atom--force microscope image of a NbTi vibrating wire used to generate turbulence in actual experiments. We find that near the boundary a dense region of quantum vortices is created, which forms a kind of `superfluid boundary layer'
