This paper extends the former study of reduct construction algorithms by taking an intensive study on two complementary control strategies: the deletion methods and the addition methods. Based on their differences and properties, they can be used to construct different kinds of reducts. The winning reducts of the left-to-right lexical order and the rightto-left lexical order can be constructed ...

according to mulla sadra in his famous work, al-asfar , god’s pre-knowledge is a set of epistemic forms which are (1) inseparable from his essence, (2) uncreated, (3) beyond the universe, (4) devoid of real possibility, (5) eternal per se, and (6) extant by his extance. tabatabayi in nihayat al-hilmah believes that the term, “inseparable”, in (1) does not mean “out of essence”; otherwise, (1) w...

Claim is a big challenge for the contractors and the owners in construction projects. Claims are considered to be one of the most disruptive events of a project. A suitable claim resolution strategy can prevent the damages to the project and the involved parties. In this research, a mathematical model using game theory is presented to find the optimum strategy for resolving cost-related claims ...

a growing number of recent studies on verbal meaning have demonstrated that positing a direct mapping between (lexical/logical) semantics and syntax with respect to event structure can account for numerous linguistic phenomena. in this article, we demonstrate that certain facts in persian can only be explained by decomposing verbs into smaller syntactic pieces that reflect subparts of a complex...

In insurance applications yearly claim totals of different coverage fields are often dependent. In many cases there are numerous claim totals which are zero. A marginal claim distribution will have an additional point mass at zero, hence this probability function will not be continuous at zero and the cumulative distribution functions will not be uniform. Therefore using a copula approach to mo...
