The need for porous materials to function as sorbents in order to allow for bulk uptake (and potential deactivation) of chemical warfare agent (CWA) stockpiles is of significant importance in the world today. Hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) represent a class of such sorbents being produced using the facile and tuneable so-called “knitting” procedure. Several HCPs are reported and their propert...

We explore the social and technical design issues involved in tracking the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic interventions for children with autism (CWA). Automated capture can be applied in a variety of settings to provide a means of keeping valuable records of interventions. We present the findings from qualitative studies and the designs of capture prototypes. These experiences le...

Data exchange deals with translating data structured in some source format into data structured in some target format, given a specification of the relationship between the source and the target and possibly constraints on the target, and answering queries over the target in a way that is semantically consistent with the information in the source. Theoretical foundations of data exchange have b...

There are several web architectures present in World Wide Web (WWW) such as Client-server web architecture (CWA), distributed web architecture (DWA) and serviceoriented architecture (SOA). DWA and SOA is the most popular distributed technology in whole WWW. The use of SOA or more specifically the web services technology is an important architecture decision. Marketing application also used only...

Cell wall-associated (CWA) proteins made by Gram-positive pathogens play a fundamental role in pathogenesis. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a major animal pathogen responsible for the canine skin disease bacterial pyoderma. Here, we describe the bioinformatic analysis of the family of 18 predicted CWA proteins encoded in the genome of S. pseudintermedius strain ED99 and determine their dist...

www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America T Clean Water Act (CWA) protects “navigable waters”, defined as “waters of the United States” (33 USC § 502[7]). Regulations by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) further define what are considered “waters of the US” (33 CFR § 328.3[a] and 40 CFR § 230.3[s]). Prior to 2001, any tribut...

In models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed Decision Making Unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs. Thus, it is important to find a Common Set of Weights (CSW) across the set of DMUs. In this pa...

The Any-World Assumption (AWA) has been introduced for normal logic programs as a generalization of the well-known notions of Closed World Assumption (CWA) and the Open World Assumption (OWA). The AWA allows any assignment (i.e., interpretation), over a truth space (bilattice), to be a default assumption and, thus, the CWA and OWA are just special cases. To answer queries, we provide a novel an...

This paper investigates a consistent versions cwaS of sometimes inconsistent Reiter’s closed world assumption cwa, proving (theorem 4.3) that for every ∀-sentence φ and for every ∀-theory Σ, φ ∈ cwaS(Σ) iff Σ `min φ. A relativized version of this characterization (theorem 7.3) remains valid if not all relations are subject to minimization. Moreover, the paper relates cwaS to cwa and to Minker’s...
