Information Compression as a Unifying Principle in Human Learning, Perception, and Cognition by J. Gerard Wolff

“…Evidence includes the following: information compression can mean selective advantage for any creature; the storage and utilisation of the relatively enormous quantities of sensory information would be made easier if the redundancy of incoming information was to be reduced; content words in natural languages, with their meanings, may be seen as ICMUP; other techniques for compression of information—such as class-inclusion hierarchies, schema-plus-correction, run-length coding, and part-whole hierarchies—may be seen in psychological phenomena; ICMUP may be seen in how we merge multiple views to make one, in recognition, in binocular vision, in how we can abstract object concepts via motion, in adaptation of sensory units in the eye of Limulus, the horseshoe crab, and in other examples of adaptation; the discovery of the segmental structure of language (words and phrases), grammatical inference, and the correction of over- and undergeneralisations in learning may be understood in terms of ICMUP; information compression may be seen in the perceptual constancies; there is indirect evidence for ICMUP in human cognition via kinds of redundancy such as the decimal expansion of π which are difficult for people to detect; much of the structure and workings of mathematics—an aid to human thinking—may be understood in terms of ICMUP; and there is additional evidence via the SP Theory of Intelligence and its realisation in the SP Computer Model. …”

Adiabatic Fixed-Bed Gasification of Colombian Coffee Husk Using Air-Steam Blends for Partial Oxidation by Javier Bonilla, Gerardo Gordillo

“…The increasing energy consumption, mostly supplied by fossil fuels, has motivated the research and development of alternative fuel technologies to decrease the humanity’s dependence on fossil fuels, which leads to pollution of natural sources. Small-scale biomass gasification, using air-steam blends for partial oxidation, is a good alternative since biomass is a neutral carbon feedstock for sustainable energy generation. …”

Influência da acurácia de completude na delimitação de áreas de preservação permanente by Mayara Soares de Sousa, Tony Vinicius Moreira Sampaio

“…Since 1934 with the "Protective Forests" until 2012 with the "Permanent Preservation Areas", the Brazilian Forest Code foresees the creation of areas destined to the preservation of natural resources. Currently, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) associated with remote sensing products are presented as ancillary tools in the delimitation of PPA’s, because they have low cost and optimize the time necessary to identify and delimit them. …”
