Mathematics and Reality

Mary Leng defends a philosophical account of the nature of mathematics which views it as a kind of fiction (albeit an extremely useful fiction)....

Philosophy of Mathematics

The twentieth century has witnessed an unprecedented 'crisis in the foundations of mathematics', featuring a world-famous paradox (Russell's Paradox), a challenge to 'classical' mathematics from a world-famous mathematician (the 'mathematic...

Mathematics and Gender

This edited collection describes how the Autonomous Learning Behaviours (ALB) model, formulated by Fennema and Peterson, specifically relates to gender differences in mathematics education, learning and performance. The book provides a back...

Multi-step prediction in linearized latent state spaces for representation learning

In this paper, we derive a novel method as a generalization over LCEs such as E2C. The method develops the idea of learning a locally linear state space by adding a multi-step prediction, thus allowing for more explicit control over the cur...

Malaria adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh parasite bernama Plasmodium. Tercatat keseluruhan kasus malaria yang terjadi di Indonesia pada tahun 2019 adalah sebanyak 250.644 kasus. Dan kasus malaria tertinggi terjadi di provinsi Papua, yai...

Weight-perception-based fixed and variable admittance control algorithms for unimanual and bimanual lifting of objects with a power assist robotic system

Weight-perception-based fixed admittance control algorithm and variable admittance control algorithm are proposed for unimanual and bimanual lifting of objects with a power assist robotic system. To include weight perception in controls, th...

Design and Verification of Assessment Tool of Shortwave Communication Interference Impact Area

In the field of electronic communication warfare, accurately predicting the range and intensity of shortwave interference signals presents a significant challenge due to the complex interplay between the ionospheric parameters and the elect...

Mathematics for Physics

An engagingly-written account of mathematical tools and ideas, this book provides a graduate-level introduction to the mathematics used in research in physics. The first half of the book focuses on the traditional mathematical methods of ph...

Relationship between Mathematical Thinking, Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Attitudes among University Students

This study investigates the relationships between mathematics anxiety, attitudes toward mathematics and mathematical thinking among university students. A 60-item questionnaire included mathematical thinking rating scale, mathematics anxiet...

Mathematical and Physical Papers

William Thomson, first Baron Kelvin (1824–1907), is best known for devising the Kelvin scale of absolute temperature and for his work on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, though throughout his 53-year career as a mathematical phy...

Problem-Based Tasks in Mathematics Learning: Opportunities and Challenges for Teachers

Mathematics education and teaching should not only include routine tasks; but tasks that need practice and memorization are mathematically more prosperous and more difficult because they promote problem-solving, investigation, and the disco...

Lower Bounds for Dynamic Programming on Planar Graphs of Bounded Cutwidth

Many combinatorial problems can be solved in time $\mathcal{O}^*(c^{\mathrm{tw}})$ on graphs of treewidth $\mathrm{tw}$, for a problem-specific constant $c$. In several cases, matching upper and lower bounds on $c$ are known based on the St...

Predicting potato plant vigor from the seed tuber properties

Abstract The vigor of potato plants is of crucial importance for potato seed producers, who are interested in predicting it at scale by exploiting the dependence of plant growth and development on the origin and physiological state of the s...

Adaptive Control of the Chaotic System via Singular System Approach

This paper deals with the control problem of the chaotic system subject to disturbance. The sliding mode surface is designed by singular system approach, and sufficient condition for convergence is given. Then, the adaptive sliding mode con...

Ethanolic extract of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) larvae for wound healing in mice (Mus musculus L.)

The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) or BSF is one of a group of insects that has a length of 15-20 mm originating from America. The larvae of the BSF has a high protein content (44.26%), which has great potential in treating wound ...

Extended Fibonacci numbers and polynomials with probability applications

The extended Fibonacci sequence of numbers and polynomials is introduced and studied. The generating function, recurrence relations, an expansion in terms of multinomial coefficients, and several properties of the extended Fibonacci numbers...

A otimização dinâmica do processo de fermentação batelada alimentada, através do controle da vazão de alimentação de substrato, caracteriza um problema de controle singular de difícil solução devido à flutuação do índice diferencial e da...

Pedestrian–bus route and pickup location planning for emergency evacuation

Planning for a bus-based regional evacuation is essential for emergency preparedness, especially for hurricane or flood prone urban environments with large numbers of transit-dependent or transit-captive populations. This paper develops an ...

An Improved Blockchain-Based Lightweight Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Handover Authentication Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

We conduct a cryptanalysis of the Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) handover authentication protocol newly developed by Son et al., which incorporates blockchain technology for authentication purposes. Although this approach is notably effici...
