Pre-Big-Bang Black-Hole Remnants and Past Low Entropy
Universe, 2018 Dark matter could be composed by black-hole remnants formed before the big-bang era in a bouncing cosmology. This hypothetical scenario has implications on the issue of the arrow of time: it upsets a common attribution of past low entropy to the state of

Entropy, 2019 Where was the past low-entropy of the early universe located? Contrary to some popular answers, I argue that that the dominant source of low-entropy is the fact that a single degree of freedom, the scale factor, was not at equilibrium.

The Uses of the ‘Anglo-Saxon Past’ between Revolutions, Imperialism and Racism
Práticas da História, 2021 The past is commonly summoned in political speeches and projects. The medieval past has been used as the cradle of nation-states and ‘the West’.

Remembrance of inferences past: Amortization in human hypothesis generation [PDF]
Cognition, 2018 Bayesian models of cognition assume that people compute probability distributions over hypotheses. However, the required computations are frequently intractable or prohibitively expensive. Since people often encounter many closely related distributions, selective reuse of computations (amortized inference) is a computationally efficient use of the ...

Evolutionary Signature of Ancient Parasite Pressures, or the Ghost of Parasitism Past
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Animals adopt a range of avoidance strategies to reduce their exposure to parasites and the associated cost of infection. If strong selective pressures from parasites are sustained over many generations, avoidance strategies may gradually evolve from ...

Measures of thermodynamic irreversibility in deterministic and stochastic dynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2015 It is generally observed that if a dynamical system is sufficiently complex, then as time progresses it will share out energy and other properties amongst its component parts to eliminate any initial imbalances, retaining only fluctuations. This is known

The Acquisition Order of Past Tenses: An Interlanguage Analysis
Ideas, 2019 This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that there appears a systematic order of the acquisition of past tenses. It is claimed that irregular past tense verbs are acquired earlier than regular past tense verbs.

Doubling The Past Hypothesis: Observations On Two Nonstandard Third Conditionals
Romanian Journal of English Studies, 2014 The paper briefly looks at two nonstandard conditional constructions, if [Su] had have [pp] and if [Su] would have [pp], which present anomalous components.

The Acquisition of Past Tense in English/Norwegian Bilingual Children Single versus Dual Mechanisms
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2004 In a study of three Norwegian/English bilingual siblings, their strategies for acquiring past tense of verbs in both languages were examined. Elicitation tests were performed in both languages and the children’s performance and error patterns were ...

Not One, but Many Critical States: A Dynamical Systems Perspective
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 The past decade has seen growing support for the critical brain hypothesis, i.e., the possibility that the brain could operate at or very near a critical state between two different dynamical regimes.
