DESCARTES’ ONTOLOGY AND THE IDEA OF NATURE CONTROL by Česlovas Kalenda

“… The idea of nature control in Western civilisation is not only connected with ecological-climatic conditions as well as with social conditions but also with the nature of people and the properties of thinking, which are only typical to the human brain’s functional asymmetry. …”

The role of oligopolies and economic groups in accelerating inflation in recent Argentina by Pablo Manzanelli, Leandro Amoretti

“…This evidence not only connects with the international debate about the characteristics of inflationary processes in core countries but it is also a contribution, albeit a preliminary one, that addresses the stickiness of the Argentine economy when it comes to decelerating the rise in prices after an “initial impetus”.…”

Elusive Gains of Cognitive Training: Limited Effects on Neural Activity Across Sessions by Luka Juras, Andrea Vranic, Ivana Hromatko

“…Background/Objectives: Cognitive training paradigms rely on the idea that consistent practice can drive neural plasticity, improving not only connectivity within critical brain networks, but also ultimately result in overall enhancement of trained cognitive functions, irrespective of the specific task. …”

Low error floor LT coding algorithm for unequal error protection by Xin SONG, Shuyan NI, Zhe ZHANG, Yurong LIAO, Tuofeng LEI

“…Methods: This paper considers designing independent systematic UEP-LT codes for AWGN channels.A design method of check distribution matching this scheme is given,and a coding scheme characterized by segmentation is proposed.In this scheme,systematic nodes connected with information nodes one by one are designed to provide non-zero log-likelihood ratio (LLR) information from the channel.After that, there is a fixed number of check nodes,that is,the fixed segment.The check node of this segment is only connected to the important bit(MIB),and its purpose is to make the MIB the closest to the successful decoding state.The final part of the coding scheme is the rateless coding segment. …”
