Mente e cérebro, ciências cognitivas e ciências sociais by Rodolfo Eduardo Scachetti

“…This paper discusses the traditional philosophical debate concerning body and spirit that has formed a multidisciplinary field of researches about brain and mind in the twentieth century, called cognitive sciences. Among the various divergent positions in this area, three of them had their nuances about the future of this exploited enterprise, and also their relations with the social sciences that basically move in these directions, (i) the defence of the singularity of human sciences' object considered in the philosophical consciousness model as intentionality, (ii) the searching of a biological understanding of the mind, also viewed in this case as intentionality and consciousness, and finally, (iii) the critic of the notions of intentionality and consciousness through the cybernetic and also the cognitive sciences achievements, that can feed a new relation between humans and machines.…”

Enhanced-AAWP,a heterogeneous network oriented worm propagation model by LIU Bo, WANG Huai-min, XIAO Feng-tao, CHEN Xin

“…A logical worm propagation model contributes to the analysis of how exactly various worms spread in Internet.With the abstract of heterogeneous network environments,and considering the impact of infection time on worm propa-gation,a heterogeneous network oriented worm propagation model namely Enhanced-AAWP was derived using discrete time and deterministic approximation.Then,the worms which employed local preference scanning or random scanning were studied based on Enhanced-AAWP.As the simulation results show,the amount of NAT,the density of vulnerable hosts in NATs,and the probability of local preference scanning are influencing factors during the course of worm propa-gations in heterogeneous network environments.…”
