Formalizing temporal persistence and solving the temporal projection problem within traditional non-monotonic logics is shown possible through two different approaches, neither of which re. special minimization techniques. $$$z~~ potential causes is shown to yield a type of temporal persistence that is useful for the temporal projection problem, although it differs significantly from the ordina...

Extensive simulations are performed to study the persistence behavior of a conserved lattice gas model exhibiting an absorbing phase transition from an active phase into an inactive phase. Both the global and the local persistence exponents are determined in two and higher dimensions. The local persistence exponent obeys a scaling relation involving the order parameter exponent of the absorbing...

Analysis of persistence frameworks in J2EE The amount of information stored in computer systems is increasing at a rapid rate and the software handling the persistent data of such systems is growing correspondingly more complex and hard to maintain. Persistence frameworks manage the persistence by performing automated conversion between the database systems and the business code using the persi...

Chlamydia trachomatis can enter a viable but nonculturable state in vitro termed persistence. A common feature of C. trachomatis persistence models is that reticulate bodies fail to divide and make few infectious progeny until the persistence-inducing stressor is removed. One model of persistence that has relevance to human disease involves tryptophan limitation mediated by the host enzyme indo...
