  ABSTRACT = { We show that human consciousness can be modeled as
                  a classical (not quantum) probabilistic computer. A
                  quantum computer representation does not appear to
                  be indicated because no known feature of
                  consciousness depends on Planck's constant h, the
                  telltale sign of quantum phenomena. It is argued
                  that the facets of consciousness are describable by
                  an object-oriented design with dynamically defined
                  classes and objects. A comparison to economic theory
                  is also made. We argue consciousness may also have
                  redundant, protective mechanisms.}

  ABSTRACT = {We present the results of a bayesian analysis of
                  solar neutrino data in terms of \ν$_{ e
                  }$\&to;\ν$_{\μ,\τ}$ and \ν$_{ e
                  }$\&to;\ν$_{ s }$ oscillations, where \ν$_{ s
                  }$ is a sterile neutrino. We perform a Rates
                  Analysis of the rates of solar neutrino experiments,
                  including the first SNO CC result, and spectral data
                  of the CHOOZ experiment, and a Global Analysis that
                  takes into account also the Super-Kamiokande day and
                  night electron energy spectra. We show that the
                  bayesian analysis of solar neutrino data does not
                  suffer any problem from the inclusion of the
                  numerous bins of the CHOOZ and Super-Kamiokande
                  electron energy spectra and allows to reach the same
                  conclusions on the favored type of neutrino
                  transitions and on the determination of the most
                  favored values of the oscillation parameters in both
                  the Rates and Global Analysis. Our bayesian analysis
                  shows that \ν$_{ e }$\&to;\ν$_{ s }$
                  transitions are strongly disfavored with respect to
                  \ν$_{ e }$\&to;\ν$_{\μ,\τ}$
                  transitions. In the case of \ν$_{ e
                  }$\&to;\ν$_{\μ,\τ}$ oscillations, the
                  Large Mixing Angle region is favored by the data
                  (86\&percent; probability), the LOW region has some
                  small chance (13\&percent; probability), the Vacuum
                  Oscillation region is almost excluded (1\&percent;
                  probability) and the Small Mixing Angle region is
                  practically excluded (0.01\&percent;
                  probability). We calculate also the marginal
                  posterior probability distributions for tan$^{2}$
                  \ϑ and \Δ m $^{2}$ in the case of
                  \ν$_{ e }$\&to;\ν$_{\μ,\τ}$
                  oscillations and we show that the data imply large
                  mixing almost with certainty and large values of
                  \Δ m $^{2}$ are favored (2 $\times$
                  10$^{\−6}$~eV$^{2}$ $<$ \Δ m $^{2}$ $<$
                  10$^{\−3}$~eV$^{2}$ with 86\&percent;
                  probability). We present also the results of a
                  standard least-squares analysis of solar neutrino
                  data and we show that the standard goodness of fit
                  test is not able to reject pure \ν$_{ e
                  }$\&to;\ν$_{ s }$ transitions. The likelihood
                  ratio test, which is insensitive to the number of
                  bins of the CHOOZ and Super-Kamiokande energy
                  spectra, allows to reject pure \ν$_{ e
                  }$\&to;\ν$_{ s }$ transitions in favor of
                  \ν$_{ e }$\&to;\ν$_{\μ,\τ}$ transitions
                  only in the Global Analysis. }

  ABSTRACT = {Evaluation of the electromagnetic fields diffracted from plane apertures are, in the general case, highly problematic. Fortunately the exploitation of the Fresnel and more restricted Fraunhofer approximations can greatly simplify evaluation. In particular, the use of the fast Fourier transform algorithm when the Fraunhofer approximation is valid greatly increases the speed of computation. However, for specific applications it is often unclear which approximation is appropriate and the degree of accuracy that will be obtained. We build here on earlier work (Shimoji M 1995 Proc. 27th Southeastern Symp. on System Theory (Starkville, MS, March 1995) (Los Alamitos, CA: IEEE Computer Society Press) pp 520\–4) that showed that for diffraction from a circular aperture and for a specific phase error, there is a specific curved boundary surface between the Fresnel and Fraunhofer regions. We derive the location of the boundary surface and the magnitude of the errors in field amplitude that can be expected as a result of applying the Fresnel and Fraunhofer approximations. These expressions are exact for a circular aperture and are extended to give the minimum limit on the domain of validity of the Fresnel approximation for plane arbitrary apertures. }
