Rapid climate change in the Arctic triggers remobilization of chemical pollution, increasing its exposure and potential impacts region. While scientific knowledge on multiple stressors, including interlinkages between hazardous chemicals, is increasing, it has proven challenging to translate this into policy. This study analyzes process translating stressors global policy by focusing developmen...

This paper describes a formalization of multi-threaded Java bytecode in Coq. The formalization builds on the existing Bicolano formalization for sequential Java bytecode – which captures basically all aspects of sequential bytecode supported by the CLDC (Java for mobile phones) platform. We use a special extension framework to extend the existing formalization in a systematic way. The formaliza...

The project entitled " Formalization of Formal Topology by means of the interactive theorem prover Matita " is an official bilateral project between the Universities of Padova and Bologna, funded by the former, active ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ .mine from march 2008 until august 2010. The project brought together and exploited the synergic collaboration of two communities of researchers, both centered around cons...

In this paper, we propose a rule-based formalization of eligibility criteria for clinical trials. The rule-based formalization is implemented by using the logic programming language Prolog. Compared with existing formalizations such as pattern-based and scriptbased languages, the rule-based formalization has the advantages of being declarative, expressive, reusable and easy to maintain. Our rul...

We develop a formalization of floating-point numbers in PVS based on a well-known formalization in Coq. We first describe the definitions of all the needed notions, e.g., floating-point number, format, rounding modes, etc. Then, we present an application to polynomial evaluation for elementary function evaluation. The application already existed in Coq, but our formalization shows a clear impro...
