Overview: Some words about SCART 2000. SCART stands for science and art. SCART meetings are organized in a loose time sequence by an international group of scientists, most of them fluid-dynamicists. The first meeting was held in Hong-Kong, the second one in Berlin, and the third, and latest, one in Zurich. SCART meetings include a scientific conference and a number of art events. The intention is to restart a dialogue between scientists and artists which was so productive in the past. To achieve this goal several lectures given by scientists at the conference are intended for a broader public

Overview: People make sense of a text by identifying the semantic relations which connect the entities or concepts described by that text. A system which aspires to human-like performance must also be equipped to identify, and learn from, semantic relations in the texts it processes. Understanding even a simple sentence such as "Opportunity and Curiosity find similar rocks on Mars" requires recognizing relations (rocks are located on Mars, signalled by the word on) and drawing on already known relations (Opportunity and Curiosity are instances of the class of Mars rovers). A language-understan

Overview: .La stabilità della funzione è stato il concetto di riferimento da C. Bernard ad oggi, sia per la biologia che per la medicina clinica. Solo di recente, pero‘, due fisici illustri, Gregoire Nicolis ed Ilya Prigogine, Premio Nobel per la Fisica nel 1978, hanno offerto una descrizione completa della stabilità della variabile, e pertanto di uno stato funzionale, in termini cosi‘ chiari, precisi ed esaurienti, da poter essere applicata anche in ambito biologico. I concetti, prima confusi, su cui basavamo il nostro pensare, ora si dispongono secondo un senso accettabile, e dal significato
