Lowness notions, measure and domination
We show that positive measure domination implies uniform almost everywhere
domination and that this proof translates into a proof in the subsystem
WWKL (but not in RCA) of the equivalence of various Lebesgue measure
regularity statements introduced by Dobrinen and Simpson. This work also allows
us to prove that low for weak -randomness is the same as low for
Martin-L\"of randomness (a result independently obtained by Nies). Using the
same technique, we show that implies , generalizing the
fact that low for Martin-L\"of randomness implies low for
Comparing Evolutionary Operators, Search Spaces, and Evolutionary Algorithms in the Construction of Facial Composites
Facial composite construction is one of the most successful applications of interactive evolutionary computation.
In spite of this, previous work in the area of composite construction has not investigated the
algorithm design options in detail. We address this issue with four experiments. In the first experiment a
sorting task is used to identify the 12 most salient dimensions of a 30-dimensional search space. In the second
experiment the performances of two mutation and two recombination operators for interactive genetic
algorithms are compared. In the third experiment three search spaces are compared: a 30-dimensional
search space, a mathematically reduced 12-dimensional search space, and a 12-dimensional search space
formed from the 12 most salient dimensions. Finally, we compare the performances of an interactive
genetic algorithm to interactive differential evolution. Our results show that the facial composite construction
process is remarkably robust to the choice of evolutionary operator(s), the dimensionality of the search
space, and the choice of interactive evolutionary algorithm. We attribute this to the imprecise nature of human
face perception and differences between the participants in how they interact with the algorithms.
Povzetek: Kompozitna gradnja obrazov je ena izmed najbolj uspešnih aplikacij interaktivnega evolucijskega
ra?cunanja. Kljub temu pa do zdaj na podro?cju kompozitne gradnje niso bile podrobno raziskane
možnosti snovanja algoritma. To vprašanje smo obravnavali s štirimi poskusi. V prvem je uporabljeno
sortiranje za identifikacijo 12 najbolj izstopajo?cih dimenzij 30-dimenzionalnega preiskovalnega prostora.
V drugem primerjamo u?cinkovitost dveh mutacij in dveh rekombinacijskih operaterjev za interaktivni
genetski algoritem. V tretjem primerjamo tri preiskovalne prostore: 30-dimenzionalni, matemati?cno reducirani
12-dimenzionalni in 12-dimenzionalni prostor sestavljen iz 12 najpomembnejših dimenzij. Na
koncu smo primerjali uspešnost interaktivnega genetskega algoritma z interaktivno diferencialno evolucijo.
Rezultati kažejo, da je proces kompozitne gradnje obrazov izredno robusten glede na izbiro evolucijskega
operatorja(-ev), dimenzionalnost preiskovalnega prostora in izbiro interaktivnega evolucijskega algoritma.
To pripisujemo nenatan?cni naravi percepcije in razlikam med interakcijami uporabnikov z algoritmom

Sensing device with whisker elements
A sensing device includes an elongated whisker element having a flexible cantilever region and a base region where a change in moment or curvature is generated by bending of the cantilever region when it contacts an object. One or more sensor elements cooperatively associated with the whisker element provide one or more output signals that is/are representative of two orthogonal components of change in moment or curvature at the whisker base region to permit determination of object distance, fluid velocity profile, or object contour (shape) with accounting for lateral slip of the whisker element and frictional characteristics of the object. Multiple sensing devices can be arranged in arrays in a manner to sense object contour without or with adjustment for lateral slip
Discrete Symmetries and Selection Rules in Unified SU(8) for Superconductivity and Density Waves
We show that a discrete T symmetry produces selection rules which require certain order parameters to vanish
