We introduce a class of restrictions for the ordered paramodulation and superposition calculi (inspired by the basic strategy for narrowing), in which paramodulation inferences are forbidden at terms introduced by substitutions from previous inference steps. In addition we introduce restrictions based on term selection rules and redex orderings, which are general criteria for delimiting the ter...

The seventh edition of Retailing Management maintains the basic philosophy of the previous six editions. We continue to focus on key strategic issues with an emphasis on financial considerations and implementation through merchandise and store management. These strategic and tactical issues are examined for a broad spectrum of retailers, both large and small, domestic and international, selling...

A SURGEON (Zimmerman) and an anatomist have joined forces to produce a book which will be of help to surgeons and of interest to anatomists. The historical aspect is described in some detail, and it is of interest to note that the method of Marcy of Boston (high ligature of the inguinal hernial sac and suture of the transverselis fascia to the inguinal ligament) was first described by him in 18...

This is a fine introductory text to the field of neuroradiology. The title of the book is appropriate; this work is neither too exhaustive nor too brief. We believe that the basic objectives of this work have been met: namely, a good medium-sized textbook for radiology, neurology, and neurosurgery residents. The volume will also be useful for other physicians as well as medical students interes...

1 Preamble According to Lindstrr om 1966 a quantiier is a functor which assigns to each non-empty domain a relation among relations which is closed under isomorphisms. A simple instance of this notion is given by the quantiier`more than half of the', which for each domain E gives the relation between sets A; B E deened by: jfa 2 A : a 2 Bgj > jfa 2 A : a 6 2 Bgj In the present collection of art...

In this paper we solve a long-standing open problem by showing that strict superposition|that is, superposition without equality factoring|is refutationally complete. The diiculty of the problem arises from the fact that the strict calculus, in contrast to the standard calculus with equality factoring, is not compatible with arbitrary removal of tautologies, so that the usual techniques for pro...

IN recent years there has been rapid progress in the understanding of Hodgkin's disease and improvements in its treatment so that many patients can now be cured. This has not yet been reflected in the attitude of doctors who too often regard the disease with unjustified pessimism and too frequently give treatment which is merely palliative. This book is by one of the pioneers of the present day...

Ang Cui, Angelos d. KeroMytis, And sAlvAtore J. stolfo Columbia University a whole. Yet skeptics (including some security professionals) argue that short-term expenditures on such “nonessential” items as analy sis should be curtailed, and that the results of any analyses should be kept secret. The return on investment in security isn’t visible in the short term, and, therefore, detractors feel ...

This article reviews some of the basic principles of genetics to provide a foundation for understanding the application of genetics to medical practice. Definitions of terms that appear here in italics can be found in the on-line, illustrated glossary at www.genetests.org.

This paper summarizes a series of three lectures the first author was invited to present at the NZMRI summer 2000 workshop, held in Kaikoura, New Zealand. Lecture 1 presents the goals of computational complexity theory. We discuss (a) what complexity provably can never deliver, (b) what it hopes to deliver but thus far has not, and finally (c) where it has been extremely successful in providing...
