When developing a new language with semantics described by Structural Operational Semantics (SOS), one often wants an axiomatisation of this language (w.r.t. to some equivalence) as well.

The importance of the bull in a cattle breeding program often is underestimated. A cow is responsible for half the genetic material in only one calf each year, while the bull is responsible for half the genetic material in 20 to 50 calves. The bull’s ability to locate cows in estrus and breed them is clearly vital to a successful breeding program. Bulls differ in physical appearance, fertility ...

Maintaining adequate capital is important for banks because it absorbs losses and protects them from failure. Capital also protects the financial system and overall economy from the costs that can arise from bank failures. For example, one of the reasons policymakers were concerned about financial stabi...
