Intention Estimation of Adversarial Spatial Target Based on Fuzzy Inference

Estimating the intention of space objects plays an important role in air-craft design,aviation safety,military and otherfields,and is an important refer-ence basis for air situation analysis and command decision-making.This paper studies an intention estimation method based on fuzzy theory,combining prob-ability to calculate the intention between two objects.This method takes a space object as the origin of coordinates,observes the target’s distance,speed,relative heading angle,altitude difference,steering trend and etc.,then introduces the spe-cific calculation methods of these parameters.Through calculation,values are input into the fuzzy inference model,andfinally the action intention of the target is obtained through the fuzzy rule table and historical weighted probability.Ver-ified by simulation experiment,the target intention inferred by this method is roughly the same as the actual behavior of the target,which proves that the meth-od for identifying the target intention is effective.

Missing Values Imputation Based on Iterative Learning

Databases for machine learning and data mining often have missing values. How to develop effective method for missing values imputation is a crucial important problem in the field of machine learning and data mining. In this paper, several methods for dealing with missing values in incomplete data are reviewed, and a new method for missing values imputation based on iterative learning is proposed. The proposed method is based on a basic assumption: There exist cause-effect connections among condition attribute values, and the missing values can be induced from known values. In the process of missing values imputation, a part of missing values are filled in at first and converted to known values, which are used for the next step of missing values imputation. The iterative learning process will go on until an incomplete data is entirely converted to a complete data. The paper also presents an example to illustrate the framework of iterative learning for missing values imputation.

God, Intensional Negation, and the Devil（s）

In this paper an intensional concept theory based on an intensional containment relation is presented, which, in turn, is then generalized in order to define the complete concept of God. We are following Leibniz＇s definition of God as a most perfect Being, by which he meant a subject of all perfections. As a consequence of this definition of God, two different complete concepts of the Devil（s） can be defined. However, these two complete concepts of the Devil（s） are not only incoherent with Leibniz＇s philosophy, but they introduce the problem of the Devil（s） as well, which seems to originate from a problem of an adequate definition of the concept of God on one hand, and the logical problem of the intensional negation of a concept on the other hand.

What Is Meaning?

There is a lot of discussion of a new realism in philosophy—externalism.Yet,we talk about“sense”or“meaning”all the time.The problem is to put meanings into the ONE reality of quantum mechanics.

Cardiac Neurons Firing Preceding Cortical Neurons Firing by Variable Time Equivalent to RP before Conscious Act

The signals and the neuronal mechanisms that underlying the behavior, actions, and action-directed goals in man and animals during conscious state are not fully understood, and the neuro-dynamic mechanisms and the source of these neuronal signals are not authenticated. Temporal judgment alone can neither account for neural signaling necessary for emergence of conscious act nor explain RP （Readiness Potential, the accepted neural correlate time needed for the neurons to fire） that precedes the onset of action or the latency time of 0.5 ms that precedes the conscious act found by Libet. Neuronal feedback mechanisms between the heart and the brain seem feasible and logical suggestions to be considered, so clearly, I would suggest that the onset of a conscious-directed goal, conscious action, freewill, intension, and the neural signals and mechanisms that control them may depend upon the interaction between two sources： （1） the brain and （2） the heart. The temporal-cardiac （neural system） interaction has been well established in heart-brain interaction studies by many workers who found that the work of the heart precedes that of the brain in EEG （electroencephalography） findings in conscious stimulation, which may explain and account for RP time and the 0.5 ms latency period of Libet＇s important findings. According to my hypothesis （AlFaki 2009） and views, the temporal neurons in the soma to-sensory cortex will respond to conscious stimulation only after receiving neuronal signals from the cardiac neurons in the neural plexus of the heart; after variable millisecond equivalent to RP or Libet＇s latency period prior to temporal neuronal firinging in response to conscious act, this time is the time needed by cardiac neurons to process and signal information to the brain through feedback mechanism and heart-brain interaction.

Logic and Sense

In the paper, original formal-logical conception of syntactic and semantic： intensional and extensional senses of expressions of any language L is outlined. Syntax and bi-level intensional and extensional semantics of language L are characterized categorically： in the spirit of some Husserl＇s ideas of pure grammar, Le^niewski-Ajukiewicz＇s theory syntactic/semantic categories and in accordance with Frege＇s ontological canons, Bochefiski＇s famous motto--syntax mirrors ontology and some ideas of Suszko： language should be a linguistic scheme of ontological reality and simultaneously a tool of its cognition. In the logical conception of language L, its expressions should satisfy some general conditions of language adequacy. The adequacy ensures their unambiguous syntactic and semantic senses and mutual, syntactic, and semantic compatibility, correspondence guaranteed by the acceptance of a postulate of categorial compatibility syntactic and semantic （extensional and intensional） categories of expressions of L. From this postulate, three principles of compositionality follow： one syntactic and two semantic already known to Frege. They are treated as conditions of homomorphism partial algebra of L into algebraic models of L： syntactic, intensional, and extensional. In the paper, they are applied to some expressions with quantifiers. Language adequacy connected with the logical senses described in the logical conception of language L is, of course, an idealization, but only expressions with high degrees of precision of their senses, after due justification, may become theorems of science.

On Cultural Intension of Trademarks' Translation

Trademark is developing rapidly nowadays,it has direct effects on people’s daily life in many aspects.Translation of trademark plays a very important role in this highly competitive society.This paper tries to approach the the translation of the descriptions of import and export goods and the trademarks from the angle of cultural differences.Translation of trademarks can transmit plentiful information from the commodities effectively.Here is the summary of some important principles and six methods on how to translate the trademarks.

A Political Aspect of the Korean Wave in Taiwan

Studies of the Korean Wave in Taiwan have construed the genesis of the Wave as either accidental, evitable, or taken it for granted. Problematising the genesis of the Korean Wave in Taiwan, the paper proposes to see it as the product of social and political forces pertaining to a specific moment of history of Taiwan. Other than deeming the genesis categorically as a cultural instance, it argues that the Wave is in effect the production manufactured at the convergence of social political changes at a historical moment unprecedented in Taiwan history. To respond to the new social and political conditions, the Korean Wave is deliberately appropriated as the extension of social institution and political control for the purpose of prolonging class interests of the traditional rulers. By means of mammoth circulation and transmission of print media and television broadcast, the Wave is immediately called into being and captivates a throng of Taiwan Residents audience. In return, the overwhelming popularity of Korean TV dramas is capitalized on politically besides socially and culturally in order to meet new needs. Resiting the Korean Wave in Taiwan in the social and political processes at the specific moment of Taiwan history, its genesis is thereby complicated and overdetermined on top of the advanced and promised drama qualities and productions. Inevitably a limited view, however, the paper is hoped to provide an alternative aspect to the studies of the Korean Wave either in Taiwan or other regions.

From"Extensive"to"Connotative"Development:Modernization of Chinese-Style Education

●The transformation of China's education reform from extensive to connotative development involved a shift from characteristically exogenous and late development to endogenous and spontaneous development.●The mechanism behind the shift from rationalism to universalism has resulted in tension between extension and intension in the process of modernization.●Reflexive modernity has always existed in historical experience and situations,strengthening the appeal of intension to the right of defining.●In terms of the scale effect,the expansion of higher education enrollment made historically significant contributions to the modernization of education in China;however,it also had several disadvantages.●China's educational modemization invariably requires solving the problem of large-class teaching and promoting small-class teaching in the process of shifting from extensive to connotative development.

Modeling Car-Following Dynamics During the Starting and Stopping Process Based on a Spring System Model

Car-following models describe how one vehicle follows the preceding vehicles.ln order to better model and explain car-following dynamics,this paper categorizes the state of a traveling vehicle into three sub-processes:the starting(acceleration)process,the car-folloing process,and the stopping(deceleration)process.The stating process primarily involves vehicle acceleration behavior.The stopping process involves not only car-following behavior but also deceleration behavior.This paper regards both the stopping process and the starting process as spring systems.The car-following dynamics during the starting process and the stopping process is modeled in this paper.The parameters of the proposed models,which are represented in the form of trigonometric functions,possess explicit hysical meaning and definitive ranges.We have calibrated the model of the starting process using data form the Traffic Engineering Handbook and ob-tained reasonable results.Compared with traditional stimulus-response car-following models,this model can better explain traffic flow phenomena and driver behavior thery.

Descartes＇ Metaphysical Doubts about Clear and Distinct Perception

Descartes＇ metaphysical doubts in the Third and Fifth Meditations present a scenario like this： it is possible that I （the Meditator） am so imperfect as to be deceived by my author （i.e., an omnipotent God/Deceiver） in the matters which I think I perceive clearly and distinctly. The metaphysical doubts attempt to cast doubt on beliefs based on present or recollected clear and distinct perceptions. This paper clarifies the intension of the metaphysical doubts by answering the question of how an omnipotent God/Deceiver might exercise a deceptive influence on clear and distinct perception. My analysis shows： （1） the memory interpretation and the retrospective interpretation to be implausible; （2） the incoherence interpretation to be ill-founded, though its conclusion is partly right, such that we should accept a weaker version of it; （3） the misrepresentation interpretation, the defective-origin interpretation, the truth-value variation interpretation and the radical interpretation to be plausible; （4） all of these credible interpretations to be compatible with each other as well.
