Probabilistic Dynamic Logic of Phenomena and Cognition

The purpose of this paper is to develop further the main concepts of Phenomena Dynamic Logic (P-DL) and Cognitive Dynamic Logic (C-DL), presented in the previous paper. The specific character of these logics is in matching vagueness or fuzziness of similarity measures to the uncertainty of models. These logics are based on the following fundamental notions: generality relation, uncertainty relation, simplicity relation, similarity maximization problem with empirical content and enhancement (learning) operator. We develop these notions in terms of logic and probability and developed a Probabilistic Dynamic Logic of Phenomena and Cognition (P-DL-PC) that relates to the scope of probabilistic models of brain. In our research the effectiveness of suggested formalization is demonstrated by approximation of the expert model of breast cancer diagnostic decisions. The P-DL-PC logic was previously successfully applied to solving many practical tasks and also for modelling of some cognitive processes.Comment: 6 pages, WCCI 2010 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence July, 18-23, 2010 - CCIB, Barcelona, Spain, IJCNN, IEEE Catalog Number: CFP1OUS-DVD, ISBN: 978-1-4244-6917-8, pp. 3361-336

Магнитные и плазмонные композиционные наноструктуры для реализации оптических фильтров в системах контроля и диагностики веществ и материалов

Introduction. Porous silicon (PS) and materials on its basis are of interest for application in nanoelectronics, targeted drug delivery and advanced gas sensors. In addition, PS-based nanostructures are promising as filters in fibre-optic communication systems, since conventional thin-film deposition filters possess sidebands in their operating range thus requiring high vacuum for nanometer-thick coatings.Aim. To develop optical band-stop filter prototypes based on composite magnetic nanoparticles and the effect of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in an array of silver nanoparticles located on the PS surface. Materials and methods. The development and synthesis of nanostructures for the creation of filter prototypes. The double differentiation method in conjunction with Mie absorption theory was used for processing and analyzing the prototypes attenuation characteristics.Results. Two prototypes were developed. An analysis of the attenuation characteristics of a prototype based on SiO2 matrix functionalized by FemOn indicated that the parameters of the detected absorption bands depend on the size of FemOn nanoparticles. The attenuation characteristics of the LSPR-based prototype contain two absorption bands. The center wavelength value in the band caused by LSPR in the array of silver nanoparticles, close to spherical, is 367.5 nm. Excitation of LSPR in silver quantum clusters, manifested by the appearance of the corresponding band, occurs at a wavelength of 265.5 nm. The suppression in each of the bands can be controlled by changing the parameters of the PS matrix synthesis.Conclusion. Despite the disadvantages, e.g. a relatively low accuracy in setting the center wavelength, as well as certain difficulties concerned with reducing the unevenness in the absorption band, the obtained prototypes surpass existing analogues and are prospective for the development of compact analysis and diagnostics systems in a wide energy range.Введение. Пористый кремний (ПК) и материалы на его основе представляют интерес для применения в наноэлектронике, таргетированной доставке препаратов и перспективных детекторах газов. Разработки в области создания наноструктур на базе ПК актуальны для реализации фильтров в системах волоконно-оптической связи, поскольку современные интерференционные фильтры характеризуются наличием побочных полос в рабочем диапазоне и требуют поддержания высокого вакуума при нанесении покрытий нанометровой толщины.Цель работы. Разработка прототипов полосно-заграждающего фильтра оптического диапазона на основе композиционных магнитных наночастиц и эффекта локализованного поверхностного плазмонного резонанса (ЛППР) в массиве наночастиц серебра на поверхности ПК.Материалы и методы. Разработка и получение наноструктур для создания прототипов фильтров. Применение метода двойного дифференцирования совместно с теорией поглощения Ми для анализа характеристик затухания прототипов.Результаты. Разработаны 2 прототипа; анализ характеристики затухания прототипа на основе функционализированной магнитными наночастицами FemOn матрицы SiO2 позволяет связать параметры обнаруженных полос поглощения с размером наночастиц FemOn. Характеристика затухания прототипа на основе ЛППР в массиве наночастиц Ag на поверхности пористого кремния содержит две полосы поглощения. Значение средней длины волны в полосе, обусловленной ЛППР в массиве наночастиц серебра, близких по форме к сферическим, составляет 367.5 нм. Возбуждение ЛППР в квантовых кластерах серебра, сопровождающееся появлением соответствующей полосы, происходит на длине волны 265.5 нм. Изменение параметров синтеза ПК матрицы позволяет управлять подавлением в каждой из обнаруженных полос.Заключение. Несмотря на недостатки, в том числе сравнительно низкую точность задания средней длины волны, а также трудоемкость уменьшения неравномерности в полосе поглощения, полученные прототипы превосходят существующие аналоги и являются перспективными для решения задач разработки компактных систем анализа и диагностики в широком энергетическом диапазоне

The philosophical narrative of Vladimir Solovyov : an application of narrative analysis to Russian classical philosophy: a case-study of The crisis of western philosophy and other works by Vladimir Solovyov

Contains fulltext : 19179_philnaofv.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)In chapter 1 I present the narrative method as I use it, and outline its application to philosophy in sections 1.1-1.2. In section 1.3 I discuss the important recent achievements as to methods and vision in Solovyov studies, in order to show the obvious shift from general doxographical, biographical, and historiographical approaches to studies of either separate works by Solovyov or narrow case-studies. I also discuss recent studies of aesthetic and literary elements in Solovyov's works appearing in the Russian and Western academic world. In section 1.4 I assess the advantages and disadvantages of a narrative approach as supplementary to the long tradition of Solovyov studies. In chapter 2 I analyze in detail the poetic and rhetorical elements of The Crisis of Western Philosophy, the first major work of Solovyov, his Master's dissertation defended in 1874. Neither the content of this work, from the beginning of Chapter I to the end of Chapter V, nor the functions of the characters, different types of narration, Solovyov's account of the history of philosophy, rhetorical figures, points of view, motifs, metaphors and other tropes have yet received adequate analysis. Chapter 3 deals with artistic elements in other works of Solovyov, such as The Philosophical Principles of Integral Knowledge, Lectures on Divine Humanity, The Justification of the Good, and Three Conversations. I also trace the return and transformation of some features of Solovyov's narration. It thus offers an analysis of so-called 'poetics of philosophy.' I offer an interpretation and interpretative approach to The Crisis (and other texts) which is new and supplementary: I investigate and describe the narrative mechanisms and tropes in The Crisis of Western Philosophy. My study is the first monograph about a work of Solovyov in 'Solovyoviana' (an informal name for the tradition of study of Solovyov's life, works and their connections to Russian intellectual history). I describe which narrative structure lies at the basis of this text, and what makes this text attractive and interesting to the reader. As a result, I hope to create a new perspective in Solovyov studies and a new vision of his philosophical texts as examples not only of elaboration of a clear universal philosophical doctrine (integral knowledge, All-unity, etc.), but as texts with a significant artistic, poetic, and rhetoric element.206 p
