This short paper proposes an extension of the Graphplan [1] planning system. The extension allows Graphplan to solve planning problems containing Domain Axioms (DAs) in the form p1 ∧ p2 ∧...∧ pn→ c. The problem of DAs arises when the domain representation language adopted is augmented with more expressive terms. For example, in the blocks-world domain, if the set of blocks present in the initia...

This paper provides new versions of necessary and sufficient conditions for compatibility of finite discrete conditional distributions, and of the uniqueness for those compatible conditional distributions. We note that the ratio matrix (the matrix C in Arnold and Press (1989)), after interchanging its rows and/or columns, can be rearranged to be an irreducible block diagonal matrix. We find tha...

Methods of multiblock bilinear factorizations have increased in popularity in chemistry and biology as recent increases in the availability of information-rich spectroscopic platforms has made collecting multiple spectroscopic observations per sample a practicable possibility. Of the existing multiblock methods, consensus PCA (CPCA-W) and multiblock PLS (MB-PLS) have been shown to bear desirabl...

Abstract In this contribution, we extend the principle of integer bootstrapping (IB) to a vectorial form (VIB). The mathematical definition class VIB-estimators is introduced together with their pull-in regions and other properties such as probability bounds success rate approximations. formulation allows sequential block-by-block processing ambiguities based on user-chosen partitioning. way, f...

BACKGROUND Some patients with mallet fractures who undergo extension block pinning complain of exposed wires, which delay their return to sports and causes inconvenience while performing tasks that require the use of hands during the early postoperative period. The purpose of this retrospective study was to present and evaluate a novel surgical procedure for mallet fractures. METHODS We treat...

[1] Contemporary deformation of the Yellowstone hot spot and surrounding western United States is analyzed using tectonic microplate modeling, employing constraints from GPS observations corrected for postseismic deformation of M7+ earthquakes, fault slip rates, and earthquake focal mechanisms. We focus primarily on the kinematics of the Yellowstone hot spot and the eastern Snake River Plain vo...

Quantum resource theories provide a diverse and powerful framework for extensively studying the phenomena in quantum physics. coherence, resource, is basic ingredient many information tasks. It subject of broad current interest information, new concepts have been introduced generalized since its establishment. Here we show that block coherence can be transformed into entanglement via block-inco...

A new hash function HeW: A hash function based on light weight block cipher FeW is proposed in this paper. The compression function of HeW is based on block cipher FeW. It is believed that key expansion algorithm of block cipher slows down the performance of the overlying hash function. Thereby, block ciphers become a less favourable choice to design a compression function. As a countermeasure,...
