According to Hans Kamp and Frank Vlach, the two-dimensional tense operators “now” and “then” are ineliminable in quantified tense logic. This is often adduced as an argument against tense logic, and in favor of an extensional account that makes use of explicit quantification over times. The aim of this paper is to defend tense logic against this attack. It is shown that “now” and “then” are eli...

While from the viewpoint of typology it is often stated that the genre of detective fiction originated with the work of Edgar Allan Poe, this statement can be challenged from the standpoint of literary or reception history. Several recent histories of detective fiction emphasize the importance of employing a wider generic view, yet they hardly expand their perspective beyond English literary tr...

In this contribution we propose an analogue receiver that can perform turbo detection inMIMO systems. We present the case for a receiver that is built from nonlinear analogue devices, which perform detection in a “free-flow” network (no notion of iterations). This contribution can be viewed as an extension of analogue turbo decoder concepts to include MIMO detection. These first analogue implem...

DevOps is currently discussed a lot in computer science communities. BizDev (business development) is only mentioned once in a computer science paper in connection with Continuous Software Engineering. Otherwise it is used in the domain of business administration only. Additionally, there seems to be a different interpretation of the term in the two communities. The paper discusses the differen...

The research process for new drug is complicated, time-consuming, and costly. Thousands of chemical compounds must be made and tested in an effort to find one that can achieve a desirable result. It may take approximately ten years to study and test a new drug before it can be approved for the general public. However, in today's pharmaceutical industry drug delivery has become keys in drug prod...

Interactive storytelling is a rapidly emerging field that tries to reconcile story-like experiences with user control. These forces oppose each other, as story implies predetermination and author intent, and interactivity implies freedom and variability. This paper focuses on unscripted (emergent) narrative and addresses the authoring problem resulting from bringing story development into free ...

RQ2 What factors affect the relationship of the coherence between two narrative trajectories and a user's experience of agency and fun when accommodating user actions? • Step 1 ○ In A story planning problem ○ Out Sets of character goals that possibly solve problem • Step 2 ○ In Sets of character goals ○ Out Partial story trajectories • Step 3 ○ In Set of partial story trajectories ○ Out Ranked ...
