Even harder is the problem of imagining the real duration of a real life, like Gilbert White's.
The standard HMMD replaces (3) with a that models the real duration distribution of state.
It rests on the Sautrāntika radical view of momentariness, according to which there is no real duration but only a succession of infinitesimal moments, and on its view of causation, according to which causes cease to exist when their effects come into existence.
And yet, that is where real duration abides".
Over half of the patients received a single prescription (median number of prescriptions per patient was one), making it difficult to ascertain the real dose taken or the real duration of the treatment.
He says, "Real duration is what we have always known as time, but time perceived as indivisible … I am aware that we normally … have no interest in listening to the uninterrupted humming of life's depths.
In our study, patients' estimated and real duration of the surgery showed moderate agreement, suggesting that emotions associated with eye surgery under topical anaesthesia did not dramatically hinder the patients' perception of time.
Undoubtedly, the time of observation is limited in comparison with the life expectancy of the prosthesis; therefore it is not possible to extend the conclusions to the real duration of the prosthesis itself.
As Michael Foley (ref. 146, p. 27) remarks, although "Bergson offered no practical advice on how to experience real duration – attendance to the humming of the depths sounds remarkably like the Buddhist practice of Ānāpāna-sati, respiration-mindfulness," i.e., the rhythmic breathing and self-sensing of meditative practice, which can lead to the deeper meditative state of Samadhi (ref. 135, p. 152).
An effective genetic algorithm (GA) approach is proposed for designing two-dimensional (2-D) real finite-duration impulse response (FIR) digital filters with complex-valued frequency responses.
