TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-thesis on the basis of a model derived from the model developed in [Bouchut-Boyaval, M3AS (23) 2013] that states that the mode of action of the Higgs boson is determined by the modulus of the E-modulus.

A Dissertation ON
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system for the recognition of predefined situations in buildings, which is based on a hierarchy of symbols, which are also predefined, and use the perceived situations as basis for decision making in the interaction of the whole system with its environment.
