An epoch prioritizing the primacy of information, on a par with matter and/or energy. This probe questions the primacy of information, explores the origin of syntactic information and discovers the ubiquity of our syntactic touch.

Para su argumento, Shannon conceptualiza un sistema de comunicación de naturaleza general que describe los pasos para que ocurra la comunicación. Un aspecto de este sistema de comunicación es que se puede analizar matemáticamente con gran detalle, incluso incorporando predicción probabilística con el fin de reconocer el mensaje enviado originalmente de todos los mensajes posibles que se podrían haber enviado. Este sistema de comunicación solo es capaz de dar cuenta del contenido sintáctico, pero no puede dar cuenta del contenido semántico del mensaje. Aunque en algunos casos los aspectos de ingeniería pueden revelar o implicar contenido semántico. En resumen, el proceso de comunicación puede compararse con el proceso de transmisión de mensajes que incorporan información sintáctica, pero sin el contenido semántico de la información. Lo que nos gustaría examinar críticamente en este artículo son las implicaciones de la naturaleza sintáctica de esta teoría para la conceptualización de la información en todos los ámbitos.

The approach is validated by measuring the thermal diffusion coefficients of classical solvent and dyes.

The original application required fringe-order information at four points on the boundary, on opposite sides, along the axes of symmetry or principal stress directions. Later, to obtain greater precision, it was adapted so that fringe information inside the field could be used. This led to the also limited use of fringe-order information from four points at 1.4 and two times the radius of the hole, along the principal axes of symmetry. More recent work has even allowed the use of fringe-order information, at a fixed radius, anywhere along the two principal axes of symmetry. The greatest limitation of all of these approaches is that the majority of the fringe-order information that is available, away. from the axes of symmetry, is not utilized at all. The current work presents a least-squares approach to the hole method that allows the simultaneous use of information anywhere and at any radial distance from the center of the hole inside the stress field. The objectives of this paper are: to apply the use of the least-squares approach to the hole method in photoelasticity; and, to show the consistent and practical application of this least-squares approach to the hole method. The achievement of this last objective permits the use of the values of specimen birefringence at a large number of points, taken from anywhere in the field around the hole.

In this context, Mark Burgin demonstrates how the general theory of information (GTI) describes and elucidates the phenomenon of information by explaining the axiomatic foundations for information studies and presenting the comprising mathematical theory of information. The perspective promoted by Jaime F. Cárdenas-García is based on Gregory Bateson's description of information as "difference which makes a difference" and involves the process of info-autopoiesis as a sensory commensurable, self-referential feedback process.

Simplicity, in addressing the complexity of information. Generality, in seeking applicability to any and every field of human experience. The purpose of this paper is to focus the applicability of this conceptual approach by Bateson and use it to perform a calculation of taking the difference between two grey-level digital images that are shifted one relative to the other. The digital images take the place of the field of view that a human being would have access through her sense of vision at two different spatial/temporal instances. The results show that it is possible to highlight the edges of the objects under scrutiny, as well as to highlight other differences within the object. Bateson's Bdifference that makes a difference^would seem to provide a first step in the elusive meaning making process of humans.

It is an experimental technique in which a grid is applied to the surface of a specimen. A grid is defined as one or more lines, dots or other shapes assembled in regular or irregular patterns. A comparison of the deformed grid on the specimen, undergoing a general state of loading, to that of a reference state yields the state of deformation. The emphasis in this paper is on reviewing experimental techniques emphasizing optical, non-contact, non-interfering and automated means of making deformation measurements using the grid method. Thus, the objectives of this paper are: to briefly review the basic principles and applications of the grid method in transparent and opaque solids, to describe the state-of-the-art, and, to point in the direction of its future evolution.

Yet the sinister specter of a technology that has hidden and unmanageable attributes that might be harmful to society looms in the background. As well as the likelihood that it will never deliver on the purported promise of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Currently the prospects for the development of AI and AGI are more a matter of opinion than based on a consistent methodological approach. Thus the need to take a step back to develop a general framework from which to evaluate current AI efforts, which also permits the determination of the limits to its future prospects as AGI. To gain insight into the development of a general framework, a key question that needs resolution is, what is the connection between human intelligence and machine intelligence? This is the question that needs a response because humans are at the center of AI creation and realize that without an understanding of how we become what we become, we have no chance of finding a solution. This work proposes infoautopoiesis, the self-referential, recursive and interactive process of self-production of information, as the needed general framework. Infoautopoiesis shows how the key ingredient of information is fundamental to an insightful resolution to this crucial question and allows predictions as to the present and future of AGI.

The objectives of this paper were to study adiabatic shear bands generated in commercially pure titanium and pearlitic AIS14140 steel utilizing a controlled-penetration impact setup and to model the dynamic shearband formation process using a Lagrangian finite-element code. Results showed that utilization of the controlled-penetration impact experimental apparatus significantly lowered the required impact velocity for formation of adiabatic shear bands in the materials tested. The length and location of the formed shear bands were controllable and extremely sensitive to the prescribed depth of penetration, allowing for the generation of crack-free shear bands. Microhardness testing of the band material revealed it to be considerably harder than the surrounding material, which possibly indicates rapid quenching of the heated band material. The finite-element simulation results showed that it is possible to realistically model adiabatic shear banding for a range of different materials.

A number of techniques have been developed and are routinely used for this, including moiri, speckle and holographic interferometry. Although some of these methods can provide qualitative images representative of the deformation field, they share the disadvantage of being difficult to analyze quantitatively. This is due to the need for the interpretation of the fringes generated by these techniques, which is time consuming and requires highly skilled practitioners. Additionally, even though some of these experimental techniques provide a whole-field qualitative appraisal of a two-dimensional field, quantitative data are obtained only at discrete points over the areas of interest. It should be noted however, that the advent of microprocessors and video technology has allowed the automation of some interferometric techniques, using phase-shifting-based methods. This development permits the determination of quantitative data at every pixel location on the image. The strain measurement grid technique described here, in its most elementary configuration, allows for the automated collection of discrete quantitative data and their qualitative display for ease of interpretation, with full access to the quantitative data.' This makes for a potentially useful tool in experimental solid mechanics especially now that the technology used for its implementation is becoming inexpensive and is achieving widespread use.
