SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF DELUSION

Semiotic analysis of delusion

Delusion is the most difficult problem in psychopathology.In the existing definitions of delusion there is no clear indication of the discriminant that enables us to reliably distinguish it from other psychopathologic phenomena.This paper proposes an approach to examine delusion as semiotic object that has a symbolic nature.The paper accentuates th

First ovum-in-ovo pathological titanosaurid egg throws light on the reproductive biology of sauropod dinosaurs

Abstract Pathologic eggs have been documented in the amniote eggs of birds, turtles, and dinosaurs.These eggs occur either in the form of one egg within another egg, a condition known as ovum-in-ovo or multi-shelled eggs showing additional pathological eggshell layer/s besides the primary shell layer.Though multi-shelled eggs and eggshells were pre

Partial Discharges and Noise Discrimination Using Magnetic Antennas, the Cross Wavelet Transform and Support Vector Machines

This paper presents a wavelet analysis technique together with support vector machines (SVM) to discriminate partial discharges (PD) from external disturbances (electromagnetic noise) in a GIS PD measuring system based on magnetic antennas.The technique uses the Cross Wavelet Transform (XWT) to process the PD signals and the external disturbances c
