background: it is established that sperm dna integrity is essential in fertilization and normal embryo and fetal development. routine semen analysis gives an approximate evaluation of the functional competence of spermatozoa, but does not always reflect the quality of sperm dna. therefore, the evaluation of sperm dna integrity, in addition to routine sperm parameters, could add further informat...

This document provides the proof of completeness of the SCIFF proofprocedure. 1 Declarative semantics In the following we give semantics to a society instance by identifying sets of expectations which, together with the society’s knowledge base and the happened events, imply an instance of the goal if any and satisfy the integrity constraints. For notion of integrity constraint satisfaction we ...

The microgrid (MG) is a complicated cyber-physical system that operates based on interactions between physical processes and computational components, which make it vulnerable to varied cyber-attacks. In this article, the impact of data integrity attack (DIA) has been considered, as one most dangerous cyber threats MGs, steady-state operation hybrid microgrids (HMGs). Additionally, novel method...

The PROV model, developed under the auspices of the W3C, is a foundation for seman...
