Hence, our analysis and description are shifted from casual and indeterminate strings and markers on case basis to determined rules and circumspect dynamic systems, from lexical precepts to knowledge precepts, from the state of memory to rational deduction and rhetorical devices. Further studies indicate that selectional restrictions are intertwined structures, a feature that makes it possible to be one of the bases for lexical selectional restrictions to come into existence. Its related theories are the grarantee for scientific observations of selectional restriction structures.展开更多

The number of primordia that a given inflorescence meristem produces is related to its determinacy, i.e., capacity for continued meristem activity.Transcription factors(TFs) controlling determinacy in tassel axillary meristems are well studied in maize, and small RNAs are known to influence tassel development by repressing targets, including tassel-related TFs. As core components of the RNA-inducible silence complex(RISC),Argonaute(AGO) proteins are required for small RNAmediated repression. Here, we characterized the biological function of AGO8b, a tassel-enriched AGO. The abundance of AGO8b transcripts gradually increased during tassel development from inception to gametogenesis and were enriched in the inflorescence meristem and axillary meristems of the tassel. Repressing AGO8b expression resulted in more spikelets, which contributed to a longer central spike of the tassel. Additionally, the transcripts of several HD-ZIP Ⅲ TFs that were canonical targets of micro RNA66(miR66) accumulated in the AGO8b repressed lines. We propose that AGO8b is a negative regulator of the determinacy of inflorescence and axillary meristems, and that it acts by interacting with the miR66-HD-ZIP Ⅲ TF regulatory pathway.展开更多

We give an estimation on the index of finite determinacy from above as well as the essentially simplified polynomial normal forms for such vector fields. In the case that a vector field has a zero eigenvalue, the result leads to an interesting corollary, a linear dependence of the derivatives of the hyperbolic variables on the central variable.展开更多

The AOM serves as a metaphorical lens, bringing the elusive quantum realm into sharper focus by transforming its inherent uncertainty into a coherent, structured ‘Frame Stream’ that aids in the understanding of quantum phenomena. While the AOM offers conceptual simplicity and clarity, it recognizes the necessity of a rigorous theoretical foundation to address the fundamental uncertainties that lie at the core of quantum mechanics. This paper seeks to illuminate those theoretical ambiguities, bridging the gap between the abstract insights of the AOM and the intricate mathematical foundations of quantum theory. By integrating the conceptual clarity of the AOM with the theoretical intricacies of quantum mechanics, this work aspires to deepen our understanding of this fascinating and elusive field.展开更多

AOM highlights the pivotal role of the observer in shaping reality, where classical notions of time, space, and energy are reexamined through the quantum lens. By engaging with key quantum equations—such as the Schrödinger equation, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and Dirac equation—the paper demonstrates how AOM unifies the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics with the determinism of classical physics. Central to this exploration is the Sequence of Quantum States (SQS) and Constant Frame Rate (CFR), which align with concepts like quantum superposition, entanglement, and wave function collapse. The model’s implications extend to how observers perceive reality, proposing that interference patterns between wave functions form the foundation of observable phenomena. By offering a fresh perspective on the interplay between determinacy and indeterminacy, AOM lays a robust theoretical foundation for future inquiry into quantum physics and the philosophy of consciousness.展开更多

Analyzing the earthquakes of magnitude≥7.0 which occurred in the Hualian area of Taiwan within the 20th century, the authors discovered that the occurrences of the earthquakes are commensurable. The earthquakes of magnitude 7.6 which occurred in Hualian of Taiwan, on September 20th, 1999 and of magnitude 7.5 which occurred 70 km away from Hualian, on March 31th, 2002 appeared at the commensurable point of K=2 and the period times the golden section, respectively. An extended discussion is carried out on the method of commensurability and its implied physical significance, especially on the contribution of the commensurable periodic extension made by Prof. Weng Wenbo.展开更多

Results show that theobserved minimum central pressure of TCs agrees well with the results determined with the methods aboveand there is little difference between them (the minimum central pressure is 867.4 hPa and 868.1 hPa,respectively, in a 1,000-yr return period). Established with the theory of atmospheric dynamics, thedeterminacy method yields a result of 867.28 hPa/1000 years, only a little smaller than the result of theprobability method. Because of randomicity in parameter adjustment with the Pearson-Ⅲ method whereasthe determinacy method is theoretically solid and its estimates are the smallest of the three methods, it istherefore reasonable, for security and conservative concerns, to adopt the result determined with thedeterminacy method as the possible maximum intensity of TC (with the central pressure being 867.28 hPa ina 1,000-yr return period).展开更多

But there are certain type of perfect information games (PI-games), the so-called positional game or Banach-Mazur games, which so far have not been applied in economy. The perfect information positional game is defined as the game during which at any time the choice is made by one of the players who is acquainted with the previous decision of his opponent. The game is run on a sequential basis. The aim of this paper is to discuss selected Banach-Mazur games and to present some applications of positional game.
