When we think about our personal identity, we finally come to a question: “Am I the same person that I’ve been earlier in my life?”, and usually we end up with an opinion that even though our bodies change over time, we still remain being the same persons. Of course excluding the cases of severe memory loss or any other similar condition. Through this essay I will convince you that this point of view is mistaken. At first, I will share a light on Locke’s identity of consciousness argument. Furthermore

Let µ be a non-negative measure in D. Then the following are equivalent: (i) The Hardy space H2 (D) is embedded in L 2 (µ), i.e. Z D |f(z)| 2 dµ(z) ≤ A 2 kfk 2 H2 (D) ∀f ∈ H2 (D). (ii) C(µ) 2 := sup z∈D kkzk 2 L2 (µ) = sup z∈D kPzkL1 (µ) < ∞, where kz(ξ) = (1−|z| 2 ( 1/2 1−ξz , is the normalized reproducing kernel for the Hardy space H2 (D). (iii) I(µ) := sup 1 r µ(D ∩ Q(ξ

is a collection of visual basic modules embedded in a Microsoft Excel document using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). This design report outlines the theory behind TrussT Structural Analysis, as well as the methods by which that theory was implemented into computer algorithms. The first two sections of this report present the theory of the generalized stiffness method of structural analysis and its implementation into a computer algorithm. The following sections present the procedures

Main Page Reference Manual Compound List File List Theory: The trace of a field element | You probably already heard of the trace of a matrix. It is defined as the sum of the diagonal elements of a square matrix. What is so special about that? Well, as explained by that link, the trace is basis invariant. Let L : K be a finite field extension, like is a field extension of 2. Given some linear transformation A: L L you can write that linear transformation in the form of a matrix

Hypothesis Testing Statistical Method Karl Phillip R. Alcarde MBA University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos DEFINITION DEFINITION Hypothesis testing or significance testing is a method for testing a claim or hypothesis about a parameter in a population, using data measured in a sample. In this method, we test some hypothesis by determining the likelihood that a sample statistic could have been selected, if the hypothesis regarding the population parameter were true. Hypothesis testing
