A Comprehensive Overview on Various Mind-Body Models

To understand what the relation between the mind and body is,philosophers and scientists have done quite a lot of work,but their opinions are controversial and this problem is known as mind-body dichotomy.Mind and body are thought to be separated in ancient Greek and ancient India and both of the two civilizations emphasize the dominated role of mind in the mind-body interaction.However,modern sciences such as biology are based on materialism and they think that mental phenomena are entirely dependent upon brain.A series of philosophical groups focusing on the mind-body problem,such as physicalism and dualism,have been developed based on traditional views and scientific advances.In this paper,a comprehensive overview and comparison to various theoretical mind-body models are carried out and based on the relativity of simultaneity axiom we recently proposed,we concluded that mind and body should be two independent existences and any theory based on monist philosophy such as materialism,idealism and Christianity cannot satisfy the logical consistency requirement while the trialism of matter,energy and information is unnecessary.

Robust Dichotomy Solution-Based Model Predictive Control for the Grid-Connected Inverters with Disturbance Observer

This paper proposes a robust dichotomy-based model predictive control(DS-MPC)with a fixed switching frequency for the grid-connected inverter(GCI).The proposed fast dichotomy algorithm can select and deduce the optimal voltage vector dynamically through the space vector plane.Therefore,the proposed DS-MPC strategy could ensure dynamic performance and steady-state performance as well.Also,the current control robustness can be improved through DS-MPC with disturbance observer(DO)based on the extended Kalman filter(EKF).The novelty of this control is that the current control with fast dynamic response can be realized in the weak grid,even if the grid voltages are greatly distorted.Simulation and hardware experiments on the weak grid validate the effectiveness of the proposed DS-MPC with the EKF observer approach.

Exponential Dichotomy and Eberlein-Weak Almost Periodic Solutions

We give sufficient conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness of an Eberlein-weakly almost periodic solution to the following linear equation dx/dt(t) = A(t)x(t) + f(t) in a Banach space X, where (A(t)) t ∈□ is a family of infinitesimal generators such that for all t ∈□, A(t + T) = A(t) for some T > 0, for which the homogeneuous linear equation dx/dt(t) = A(t)x(t) is well posed, stable and has an exponential dichotomy, and f:□ →X is Eberlein-weakly amost periodic.

Solution to the Mind-Body Relation Problem: Information

In this paper it is analyzed from the informational perspective the relation between mind and body, an ancientphilosophic issue defined as a problem, which still did not receive up to date an adequate solution. Byintroducing/using the concept of information, it is shown that this concept includes two facets, one of themreferring to the common communications and another one referring to a hidden/structuring matter-relatedinformation, effectively acting in the human body and in the living systems, which determines the dynamicinter-change of information between specific structures of the organism by electric/electronic/chemical agents andgenetic/epigenetic processes. It is shown that the maintenance of body, permanently and obligatory depending onthe external matter (foods, air, water) resources, needed to provide both the structuring/restructuring basic materialand energy, determines the necessary existence of an info-managing system, administrating the internalmechano-chemical/physical processes. As a natural consequence, such a system should organize and assure ownsurvival by an effective informational operability to detect the external food resources, to select the appropriateinterest information and to decide as a function of circumstances. One important component in such aninformational system is memory, allowing to dispose of the reference informational data for analysis/comparisonand the selection between good and bad binary possible decisions. The memory receives and stores thereforesignals from external reality and from the body itself, referring to the emotional reaction, digestion status, creation,and inherited predilections, within specific info-neural communication circuits between the brain and bodyexecution/sensitive organs, the human body appearing as an integrated info-matter self-managed dynamic system.The specific body components memorize information with different degrees of info-integration: short/long-termintegration, emotive/action reaction, info-abilities, culminating with the integration in the chromosomal structuresby epigenetic processes. The new acquired information is transgenerationally transmissible, and is manifested asnew traits, showing the adaptation capability of the human and close relation between mind and body. Analyzingthe results of such a mind-body informational model in comparison with the earlier assumed/proposed/assertedarchaic, Greek and Occidental philosophies, which represent only partial aspects of this relation, it is shown thatthis informational model, elaborated in terms of information on the basis of scientific reasons and arguments,constitutes a general, realist, and coherent model of the mind-body relation, able to integrate and/or explain most ofthe others.

EXPONENTIAL DICHOTOMIES,HOMOCLINIC ORBITS AND METHODS OF MELNIKOV

In this paper we construct, by using the theory of exponential dichotomies, a Melnikov-type function by which we can detect the existence of homoclinic orbits for the perturbed systems x = g(x) + epsilon h(t, x, epsilon). Our result of this paper may be complementary to that of K.J.Palmer([3]).

Quadratic Lyapunov Function and Exponential Dichotomy on Time Scales

In this paper, we study the relationship between exponential dichotomy and quadratic Lyapunov function for the linear equation x△=A（t）x on time scales. Moreover, for the nonlinear perturbed equation x△= A（t）x ＋ f（t, x） we give the instability of the zero solution when f is sufficiently small.

Pseudo Almost Automorphic Solutions for Non-autonomous Stochastic Differential Equations with Exponential Dichotomy

In this paper, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the solutions which are pseudo almost automorphic in distribution for a class of non-autonomous stochastic differential equations in a Hilbert space. In conclusion, we use the Banach contraction mapping principle and exponential dichotomy property to obtain our main results.

Exponential Dichotomies and Fredholm Operators of Dynamic Equations on Time Scales

For time-varying non-regressive linear dynamic equations on a time scale with bounded graininess, we introduce the concept of the associative operator with linear systems on time scales. The purpose of this research is the characterizations of the exponential dichotomy obtained in terms of Fredholm property of that associative operator. Particularly, we use Perron’s method, which was generalized on time scales by J. Zhang, M. Fan, H. Zhu in?[1], to show that if the associative operator is semi-Fredholm then the corresponding linear nonautonomous equation has an exponential dichotomy on both?T?+?and?T-.??Moreover, we also give the converse result that the linear systems have?an exponential dichotomy on both?T?+?andT-??then the associative operator is Fredholm on?T.

Plotting the Sequential Rock Remote Sensing Information by Optimization Dichotomy Method

The sequential rock remote sensing information is a group of rocks that are correlative in space or in space and time. For the sake of plottiug them, someone had brought forward the optimization segn.entotion metkod. We have ased this method to plot the sequential rock remote sensing information at tbe remote sensing hyperspetral test field of Daqing mountain, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, and found some disadvantages of this method. Therefore, we put forward the optimization dichotomy to plot them, and get better results. Finally we make a conclusion.

Healing Dysfunctional Identity: Bridging Mind-Body Intervention to Brain Systems

In this paper, we aim to use an innovative model to integrate applied work on a fast-acting mind-body intervention, Mind-Body Bridging (MBB), with theoretical work based on psychology and neuroscience. In an affect-object generative inference and regulation (AGIR) model, we propose that functional dynamics between two systems, the affect-object thought generation system and the cognitive control system, can guide an individual to achieve homeostasis within self and harmonious relationships with others. We used Neurosynth (www.neurosynth.org), an automated meta-analysis database, to identify potential brain substrates underlying the key components in the AGIR model. Based on the findings, some brain regions are implicated as the key cortical substrates in this model, corroborating our central hypothesis that a hallmark of mind-body wellbeing can be characterized as a low-frequency anti-correlantion between 1) the cognitive control system including the dorsal anterior/middle cingulate cortex, and 2) the affect-object thought generation system including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex. MBB provides an efficient strategy for responding to and dissolving a fundamental problem that impairs mind-body wellbeing, i.e., unrealistic identity-grasping consisting of self-centered embodied expectations of self and others. We demonstrated how theoretical and applied work could be integrated by drawing evidence from the neuroscience literature to support the AGIR model, and then we applied the AGIR model to elucidate how MBB might work.

Exponential Dichotomies and Homoclinic Orbits from Heteroclinic Cycles

How Do Mind-Body Practices Benefit Employees? A Daily Diary Study of Mind–Body Practices after Work and Employees’ Next-Day Proactive Behavior

Although it is becoming increasingly popular for organizations to offer programs of mind–body practices to their employees to improve their physical and mental health,the effects that after-work sessions of mind–body prac-tices have on employees’work behavior remain unclear.Using the model of proactive motivation and experience sampling,this study explored the relationship between employees’mind–body practices after work and their proactive behavior in the workplace on the following day.A multilevel path analysis of data from 82 employees over seven consecutive workdays showed that employees’mind–body practices after work had a positive effect on their proactive behavior in the workplace on the following day.The relationship was mediated by next-day high-activated positive affect and problem-solving confidence.Furthermore,job control positively moderated the rela-tionship between high-activated positive affect and proactive behavior but not that between problem-solving con-fidence and proactive behavior.We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of thesefindings,and propose future research directions.

Nature and Culture Dualism： Genesis of an Obsolete Dichotomy

This paper will discuss the relation between the concepts of nature and culture and their intricate interdependency, focusing on modernity. Moreover, it will analyze the dichotomy that has historically emerged and its implications. Human beings have had different conceptions about what is natural and what is non-natural throughout their history. Before Modernity we did not conceive nature as being a different ontological reality, we did not perceive it as being separated from us. After modernity everything changed, and we began to see nature as a mere object. Nature became, then, a representation, like a painting on a wall. Our contemporary world vision, Weltanschauung, was formed mainly during the 16th and 17th centuries. There was, at that time, a considerable change in the way we perceived and described the world. This new mentality and this new form of representing the cosmos provided the basis for our new way of thinking. They were the substrate upon which our modern paradigm was erected. The world＇s conversion in an image only became a reality thanks to technology. But this change happened only because of the paradigm shift originated in the 17th century. Technique always has been a way to articulate how （and what） we think. With the Greek, technique （technd） was, at first, an extension of the physis. Thus, the technique was a way of being instead of a way of thinking. After the paradigm shift in the 17th century （a metaphysical change, in the very way we connected to the world）, the human being left his former place. Perhaps would be even better if we talked about nature and culture as being as a hybrid. What, at the source, was natural, through the flows of production and consumption, undergoes transformations and becomes something that is not natural anymore but, at the same time, not completely artificial either. Our world, once divided between the social and the natural, becomes a space where a constant process, a continuous flow, is constantly happening. From that dichotomy between something good and something bad arises a dialectic, in which we no longer can see any division whatsoever.

A Final Solution to the Mind-Body Problem by Quantum Language

Recently we proposed “quantum language”, which was not only characterized as the metaphysical and linguistic turn of quantum mechanics but also the linguistic turn of Descartes = Kant epistemology. And further we believe that quantum language is the only scientifically successful theory in dualistic idealism. If this turn is regarded as progress in the history of western philosophy (i.e., if “philosophical progress” is defined by “approaching to quantum language”), we should study the linguistic mind-body problem more than the epistemological mind-body problem. In this paper, we show that to solve the mind-body problem and to propose “measurement axiom” in quantum language are equivalent. Since our approach is always within dualistic idealism, we believe that our linguistic answer is the only true solution to the mind-body problem.

Effects of a Single-Dose of Mind-Body Practice on the Heart Rate Variability, Brain Activity and Shooting Performance in Archers: A Pilot Study

Objective: Factors affecting performance of archery are categorized into psychological, skill, and fitness perspectives. Increase in attention, relaxation and parasympathetic system activity is believed to enhance the shooting performance of archers during competition. This pilot study aims to investigate the effects of single-dose of Tai Chi practice on archer’s performance and the feasibility of an investigation protocol under a competition scenario. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a crossover study design. Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted to evaluate the effects of Tai Chi practice on the archer’s autonomic nervous system activity, attention and relaxation through electroencephalography investigation, and shooting performance when compared with stretching as control. Results: The protocol of the study was found to be feasible during a competition setting. No significant difference was detected in the outcome measures under the two intervention conditions. Participants after practicing Tai Chi were found to improve significantly in their shooting performance (p = 0.021). Conclusion: This pilot study showed that a real-time measurement of autonomic nervous system and brain wave activities in the competition field was feasible and it did not hinder the archers’ performance. There was a significant improvement observed in the shooting performance of archers after Tai Chi practice when compared with baseline. The findings of this pilot study provide the basis for the conduction of a larger RCT study to examine the potential beneficial effects of Tai Chi practice on archers.

Zeno’s Paradoxes and Lie Tzu’s Dichotomic Wisdom Explained with Alpha Beta (αβ) Asymptotic Nonlinear Math (Including One Example on Second Order Nonlinear Phenomena)

Zeno’s paradoxes are a set of philosophical problems that were first introduced by the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea. Here is the first attempt to use asymptotic approach and nonlinear concepts to address the paradoxes. Among the paradoxes, two of the most famous ones are Zeno’s Room Walk and Zeno’s Achilles. Lie Tsu’s pole halving dichotomy is also discussed in relation to these paradoxes. These paradoxes are first-order nonlinear phenomena, and we expressed them with the concepts of linear and nonlinear variables. In the new nonlinear concepts, variables are classified as either linear or nonlinear. Changes in linear variables are simple changes, while changes in nonlinear variables are nonlinear changes relative to their asymptotes. Continuous asymptotic curves are used to describe and derive the equations for expressing the relationship between two variables. For example, in Zeno’s Room Walk, the equations and curves for a person to walk from the initial wall towards the other wall are different from the equations and curves for a person to walk from the other wall towards the initial wall. One walk has a convex asymptotic curve with a nonlinear equation having two asymptotes, while the other walk has a concave asymptotic curve with a nonlinear equation having a finite starting number and a bottom asymptote. Interestingly, they have the same straight-line expression in a proportionality graph. The Appendix of this discussion includes an example of a second-order nonlinear phenomenon. .

The Property of Dichotomy for a Class of Interconnected Pendulum-like Systems

The property of dichotomy of interconnected second-order pendulum-like systems with multiple equilibria is investigated. This interconnection can be viewed as harmonic control of independent sub-systems. Linear interconnections and a class of input and output interconnections are considered in this paper. The effects of input and output interconnections are shown through a permutation matrix. Frequency domain and linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions of dichotomy of interconnected pendulum-like systems are derived. It is shown that global properties of two coupled systems can be changed significantly through interconnections. Examples are given to illustrate the results.

Wildean Ambivalent Dichotomy of Women--Taking An Ideal Husband as An Example

Oscar Wilde is mainly famous for being the representative figure of Aesthetic Movement and the steadfast advocate of"art for art's sake". Although being influenced by the traditional dichotomy of women, Wilde does try to add some personal elements during this process. In one of his social comedies, An Ideal Husband, this wildean characteristic is more obvious. This essay attempts to reveal those hidden images which are employed by Wilde to represent his female characters and tries to show the Wilde's improvement of the traditional dichotomy.
