Revival of BASIC Programs.

Basic Principles of Learning Bayesian Logic Programs

Basic Forward Chaining Construction for Logic Programs

One of the problems which motivated this paper is how do we deal with inconsistent information. For example, suppose that we want to develop an expert system using logic programming with negation as failure. It may be the case that the knowledge engineer gathers facts, i.e. clauses of the form p ←, rules without exceptions, i.e. clauses of the form p ← q1, . . . qn, and rules with exception or ...

Blues revival

Thousands of one of Britain's most spectacular butterflies, which became extinct in the country in 1979, flew again this summer as a result of a careful research, reintroduction and conservation programme that provides a model for other flagship species. The British Large Blue (Maculinea arion) occurs across Europe and northern Asia and is one of six large blue species globally, all of which ar...

Strategies of high-performing EMT-basic educational programs.

INTRODUCTION The objective of this project was to identify the specific educational strategies used by emergency medical technician (EMT) educational programs that have attained consistently high success rates on the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) examination. METHODS NREMT data from 2001 to 2005 was analyzed in order to identify consistently high-performing EMT-Ba...

The Basic Scheme for the Evaluation of Functional Logic Programs

Functional logic languages provide a powerful programming paradigm combining the features of functional languages and logic languages. However, current implementations of functional logic languages are complex, slow, or both. This thesis presents a scheme, called the Basic Scheme, for compiling and executing functional logic languages based on non-deterministic graph rewriting. This thesis also...
