Exhaustification is a strengthening of the denotation of a sentence. Interpreting (1-a) exhaustively with respect to the background predicate came to the party, the hearer concludes that Mary did not come (strong exhaustification).1 The exhaustive interpretation of (1-b) with respect to the background predicate stars on the right side, augments the standard interpretation by concluding that all...

language like other inventions was originated to serve human needs in different civilization. different language was created later. contextually the importance of translation from one language to another is not only to understand words; as the words are not the elements of translation. importance and base of translation lies in context to understand it. after getting the content, one should d...

Borghi J, Chalabi Z. BMJ Glob Health 2017;2:e000406. doi:10.1136/bmjgh-2017-000406 To function effectively, health systems require adequate financing; an effective workforce; reliable information for decision making; good governance; and available medicines and health technologies to deliver quality services to their populations. In low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), health systems...

Abstract This work focused on producing and characterizing high silicon cast irons (microstructural analysis, tensile properties, damping capacity, elastic properties). Moreover, it also evaluated the influence of RE alloying capacity. The samples present a step-casting geometry to verify cooling rate’s impact their microstructures and, consequently, mechanical properties. Si SGI presented full...

As stated in the first issue, biij as an open access multidisciplinary online journal, “was set up to meet the challenges of biomedical imaging and intervention facing the allied sciences community by providing a new avenue for discussion and exchange of viewpoints.” The Biomedical Imaging and Intervention Journal (biij) was born on July 16th 2005 during the opening ceremony of the ‘Second Inte...

Hospitals, nurses, the media, Congress, and the private sector are increasingly concerned about shortages of registered nurses (RNs) and the impact on safety and quality of patient care. Findings from a growing number of studies provide evidence of a relationship between hospital nurse staffing and adverse outcomes experienced by medical and surgical patients. These findings have policy implica...

This work presents a novel strategy for improving SAT solver performance by using concurrency. Rather than aiming to parallelize search, we use concurrency to aid a conventional CDCL search procedure. More concretely, our work extends a conventional CDCL SAT solver with a second computation thread, which is solely used to strengthen the clauses learned by the solver. This provides a simple and ...
