In this paper we forge a connection between dynamic epistemic logics of belief revision on one hand and studies of collective judgement and multi-agent preference change on the other. Belief revision in the spirit of dynamic epistemic logic uses updating with relational substitutions to change the beliefs of individual agents. Collective judgement in social choice theory studies the collective ...

Pipelined Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems have grown increasingly complex as architectural modules were added to support language functionalities such as referring expressions, lexical choice, and revision. This has given rise to discussions about the relative placement of these new modules in the overall architecture. Recent work on another aspect of multi-paragraph text, discourse m...

This conceptual evolution reflects a more profound understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms that underlie this complex syndrome. As a con...

objective(s): carbon nanotubes have unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, with potential different applications in nanomedicine, electronics, and other industries. these new applications of carbon nanotubes in different industries lead to the increased exposure risk of nanomaterials to human. up to now, all aspects of carbon nanotubes toxicity are not completely clear following...
