DICHOTIC PROPERTY AND TELEOGENESIS
M.S. PARKS, E. STEINBERGThe problem of goal generation (teleogenesis) is addressed by the development of a system framework based upon the property of hemispheric lateralization of functions…
MOLECULAR CYBERNETICS: THE NEXT STEP?
M.R. WALLACERecent developments in genetic engineering have dramatic implications for cybernetics. The possibility of rearranging the instructions on a DNA molecule to any given specification…
EXPERIMENTAL AND PRAGMATIC APPROACHES TO PATTERN RECOGNITION
B.G. BATCHELORA purely theoretical approach has been found to be of limited value in the solution of practical Pattern Recognition problems. Difficulties arise when relating infinite…
SIMULATION OF DRUG EFFECTS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
M. BENDALLPharmacological experiments involving the determination of sites of action and mode of action of drugs in the central nervous system provide results which may be difficult to…
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF PHARMACOKINETIC SYSTEMS
M. BENDALL, D.C. GRAYThe analyses of experimental results which are necessary in the determination of the structure and rate constants of pharmacokinetic systems are frequently subject to considerable…
ANALYSIS OF AN INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM USING THE THEORY OF RELATIVELY CLOSED SYSTEMS
HÅKAN ANDERSSONThe theory of relatively closed systems first appeared in Kybernetes as two consecutive papers by Grubbström This work was a development of studies in cybernetic modelling…
M2/G2/l/∞ QUEUEING SYSTEM WITH A PRE‐EMPTIVE PRIORITY AND READJUSTMENT
E. DANIELIAN, A. GEOKCHIANIn this paper the M2/G2/l/∞ queueing system with a pre‐emptive repeat and pre‐emptive resume priorities and readjustment is considered. A method is suggested here, which yields…
REMARKS ON THEORIES OF COMPUTATION AND SEMANTICS OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
A. GHOSETheories of computation related to the semantics of programming languages, like those of McCarthy and Scott, rely on non‐constructive mathematical “ideas.” Turing's theory does…
A STUDY OF TIME‐SHIFTED SIGNALS AND THEIR EXPANSIONS
N.S. TZANNESA simple extension of the concept of the inner product leads to orthonormal expansions of time‐shifted signals with coefficients dependent on the shift variable. It is shown that…
A METHOD FOR DETERMINING k‐NEAREST NEIGHBOURS
JOSEF KITTLERAll the modified Nearest Neighbour methods of pattern classification2–6 developed to reduce the amount of computer storage and time needed for the implementation of a NN…
