Most approaches to iterated belief revision are accompanied by some motivation for the use of the proposed revision operator (or family of operators), and typically encode enough information for uniquely determining one-step revision. But in those approaches describing a family of operators, there is usually little indication of how to proceed uniquely after the first revision step. In this pap...

In this paper we define the formal and tempered Deligne cohomology groups, that are obtained by applying the Deligne complex functor to the complexes of formal differential forms and tempered currents respectively. We then prove the existence of a duality between them, a vanishing theorem for the former and a semipurity property for the latter. The motivation of these results comes from the stu...

Unfortunately, the vast majority (90%) of new anticancer agents designed in the laboratory never make it into routine clinical use. The hypothesis of this lecture is that many new agents fail in the clinic because the appropriate clinical trial(s) that could exploit the attributes of the new agent are not performed. An appreciation that both bench and clinical investigations are difficult endea...
