COLD FUSION: An Objective Assessment

Many people still believe that cold fusion is the result of bad science. In contrast, numerous laboratories in at least 10 countries have now claimed production of anomalous energy using a variety of methods, many of which are now reproducible. This energy is proposed to result from nuclear reactions initiated within a special periodic array of atoms at modest temperatures (energy). Evidence fo...

An Epistemic Strategy Logic (Extended Abstract)

The language also provides a natural way to represent what agents would know were they to be aware of the strategies being used by other agents. Some examples are presented to motivate the framework, and relationships to several variants of alternating temporal epistemic logic are discussed...
