Computer Modeling of Personal Autonomy and Legal Equilibrium
Empirical studies of personal autonomy as state and status of individual
freedom, security, and capacity to control own life, particularly by
independent legal reasoning, are need dependable models and methods of precise
computation. Three simple models of personal autonomy are proposed. The linear
model of personal autonomy displays a relation between freedom as an amount of
agent's action and responsibility as an amount of legal reaction and shows
legal equilibrium, the balance of rights and duties needed for sustainable
development of any community. The model algorithm of judge personal autonomy
shows that judicial decision making can be partly automated, like other human
jobs. Model machine learning of autonomous lawyer robot under operating system
constitution illustrates the idea of robot rights. Robots, i.e. material and
virtual mechanisms serving the people, deserve some legal guarantees of their
rights such as robot rights to exist, proper function and be protected by the
law. Robots, actually, are protected as any human property by the wide scope of
laws, starting with Article 17 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but
the current level of human trust in autonomous devices and their role in
contemporary society needs stronger legislation to guarantee the robot rights.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, presented at Computer Science On-line Conference

From office flowers to gym bunnies: how women used sporting leisure to redefine themselves in the Japanese Bubble Economy
In 1992, Fuji Television aired an early 5am morning exercise show called, Eikaiwa taisō Zuiikin Ingurisshu. Roughly translating as 'English conversation, gymnastic exercise voluntary muscles English', the show aimed to facilitate English-learning using synchronised exercises while also parodying the established NHK 6am gymnastic exercise program. As part of an experimental low-budget program called JOCX-TV2 that ran from 1987–1995, this show aired for 24 episodes over one season, and while passing unnoticed by most Japanese, gained an international cult following from 2005 onwards when the series was re-aired.
When I stumbled across this video during my research, it simultaneously fascinated, amused and confused me. While undoubtedly funny, it also was saying something about women, exercise and Bubble Japan that was hidden under the humour Through this paper I will explore what sport meant to young women in Japan, of the kind being parodied here, and who may have even been watching at 5am

Consuming nostalgia in the Japanese Bubble Economy (1986-1991)
Using examples taken from the women's magazine, Hanako, and the Sanyo ROBO telephone, this paper will explore the use of nostalgia as part of a strategy of consumption and the significance of its application to young working women during Japan's Bubble Economy of the late 1980s
Computing Nearly Singular Solutions Using Pseudo-Spectral Methods
In this paper, we investigate the performance of pseudo-spectral methods in
computing nearly singular solutions of fluid dynamics equations. We consider
two different ways of removing the aliasing errors in a pseudo-spectral method.
The first one is the traditional 2/3 dealiasing rule. The second one is a high
(36th) order Fourier smoothing which keeps a significant portion of the Fourier
modes beyond the 2/3 cut-off point in the Fourier spectrum for the 2/3
dealiasing method. Both the 1D Burgers equation and the 3D incompressible Euler
equations are considered. We demonstrate that the pseudo-spectral method with
the high order Fourier smoothing gives a much better performance than the
pseudo-spectral method with the 2/3 dealiasing rule. Moreover, we show that the
high order Fourier smoothing method captures about more effective
Fourier modes in each dimension than the 2/3 dealiasing method. For the 3D
Euler equations, the gain in the effective Fourier codes for the high order
Fourier smoothing method can be as large as 20% over the 2/3 dealiasing method.
Another interesting observation is that the error produced by the high order
Fourier smoothing method is highly localized near the region where the solution
is most singular, while the 2/3 dealiasing method tends to produce oscillations
in the entire domain. The high order Fourier smoothing method is also found be
very stable dynamically. No high frequency instability has been observed.Comment: 26 pages, 23 figure
