The tactile response of the protoplasmic tubes is used to actuate analogs of two- and four-input logical gates and memory devices. The slime mold tube logical gates display results of logical operations by blocking flow in mechanically stimulated tube fragments and redirecting the flow to output tube fragments. We demonstrate how XOR and NOR gates are constructed. We also exemplify circuits of hybrid gates and a memory device. The slime mold based gates are non-electronic, simple and inexpensive, and several gates can be realized simultaneously at sites where protoplasmic tubes merge.}, subject = {Physarum polycephalum}, language = {en} } @article{Cervantes, author = {Cervantes, Juan}, title = {Ideology, neoliberalism and sustainable development}, series = {Human Geographies}, journal = {Human Geographies}, doi = {10.5719/hgeo.2013.72.25}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170418-31300}, pages = {25 -- 34}, abstract = {This paper examines the interactions between issues such as ideology, neoliberalism, institution-building and sustainable development. The central focus of the paper is to demonstrate that the neoliberalism hasn't succeeded just because it is an economic strategy which better serves the interests of the capitalist class (though it must be stressed that this fact has obviously contributed) but mainly because it has been promoted as an attractive economic strategy by respected, well organized and transnationalized institutions all around the globe, and understand the reasons behind this institutional support. After reviewing the interrelationships between the Bretton-Woods institutions and their relationship with the concepts of neoliberalism and sustainable development, the paper concludes claiming that the so-called neoliberal ideology operates behind the discourses of growth, progress and sustainability and that it is in charge of softening domination by diffusing legitimating ideas and granting concessions to subordinate forces, thus implying significations and values that transcend the possible manipulation of the world as an object.}, subject = {Neoliberalismus}, language = {en} } @article{ChubukovKapitanovMoninaetal., author = {Chubukov, A. and Kapitanov, Valeriy and Monina, Olga and Silyanov, Valentin and Brannolte, Ulrich}, title = {Simulation of Regional Mortality Rate in Road Accidents}, series = {Transportation Research Procedia 20}, journal = {Transportation Research Procedia 20}, doi = {10.1016/j.trpro.2017.01.031}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170331-30956}, pages = {112 -- 124}, abstract = {The paper gives the results of scientific research, which, being based on probabilistic and statistical modeling, identifies the relationship of certain socio-economic factors and the number of people killed in road accidents in the Russian Federation regions.

Experiment 1 revealed that training reduces crowding mainly for trained strings. This was corroborated in Experiment 2, where no training effects were obvious after 3 days of training when strings changed from trial to trial. Experiment 3 specified that after a short amount of training, learning effects remained specific to trained strings and also to the trained retinal eccentricity and the interletter spacing used in training. Transfer to other than trained conditions was observed only after further training. Experiment 4 showed that transfer occurred earlier when words were used as stimuli. These results thus demonstrate that part of crowding results from the absence of higher level representations of the stimulus. Such representations can be acquired through learning visual properties of the stimulus.}, subject = {Schriftzeichenerkennung}, language = {en} }
