KOKIA YRA PROTINGŲ AUTOMATŲ EGZISTAVIMO GALIMYBĖ? by Algis Davidavičius

“…This existence is logically possible, if we rely on special kind of epistemologically relevant property dualism, coupled with a broader ontological monism and a functional definition of a person. It is argued later, that factual realizability of those possible technogenous persons is strongly dependent on special ontological commitment to the realization of such possibility. …”

Effect of electric field on the ultrasonic wave propagation velocity in oils by A. SKUMIEL, M. ŁABOWSKI

“…The present work represents an attempt at a quantitative description of ultrasonic wave propagation in a dielectric liquid acted on by a transversal electric field. Our search for a functional dependence between the propagation velocity c_E and the external field strength E was based on the change in free energy of the medium under the action of the field. …”
