Contextual theories of language and experience have been introduced in religious studies at the end of the 1970's to undermine the thesis of a common core in mystical experiences., A brief review of the essential arguments of W. T. Stace…

Geometric and tomographic methods of reconstructing three-dimensional cerebral blood vessels from two-dimensional digital subtraction angiograms are studied experimentally., Three-dimensional vessel geometry is reconstructed from center-line coordinates of corresponding vessel branches in both stereo and biplane angiogram pairs. The problem associated…

Speaker-independence and large lexicon access are still two of the greatest problems in automatic speech recognition. Cognitive and information-theory approaches try to solve the recognition problem by proceeding in almost opposite directions. The former rely on knowledge representation, reasoning and…

We consider a nonlinear mathematical program, with twice continuously differentiable functions., If a point x$ sb0$ does not satisfy a certain Second Order Sufficient Condition (SOS) for optimality (that does not require any constraint qualification, see, e.g., BEN-ISRAEL, BEN-TAL and…
