Thinking Materially: Cognition as Extended and Enacted
Human cognition is extended and enacted. Drawing the boundaries of cognition to include the resources and attributes of the body and materiality allows an examination of how these components interact with the brain as a system, especially over cultural and evolutionary spans of time. Literacy and numeracy provide examples of multigenerational, incremental change in both psychological functioning and material forms. Though we think materiality, its central role in human cognition is often unappreciated, for reasons that include conceptual distribution over multiple material forms, the unconscious transparency of cognitive activity in general, and the different temporalities of metaplastic change in neurons and cultural forms
Methods of algebraic manipulation in perturbation theory
We give a short introduction to the methods of representing polynomial and
trigonometric series that are often used in Celestial Mechanics. A few
applications are also illustrated.Comment: 37 pages, 10 figure
Distinct Sector Hashes for Target File Detection
Using an alternative approach to traditional
file hashing, digital forensic investigators
can hash individually sampled subject
drives on sector boundaries and then
check these hashes against a prebuilt database,
making it possible to process raw
media without reference to the underlying
file system
