In the paper I prove that there are two squares of opposition. The unconventional one is built up for synthetic propositions. There a, i are contrary, a, o (resp. e, i) are contradictory, e, o are subcontrary, a, e (resp. i, o) are said to stand in the subalternation.

Università di Cagliari for the suggestions and the stimulating discussions. SAR data used in the studies. Finally, I have to thank to my family and to Raffaella: without their support all this would have never been possible.

This paper describes preliminary results from an ongoing study designed to characterize acoustic-phonetic traits in children with speech delay (SD) of unknown origin. Here we present data on 13 SD children and their siblings (26 children in all) from two speech perception tasks: a two-alternative forced choice categorical perception (ID) task, and an error monitoring (EM) task. In the ID task, ...

This summer I worked with Dr. Leah Edelstein-Keshet, MSc student Dhananjay Bhaskar, and PhD student Cole Zmurchok on two major projects: simulating GTPase dynamics in cells, and generating synthetic images of cells based on real microscopy cell images. Results from both projects will be submitted for publication in the near future. In this report I will give a brief overview of both projects, d...

Abstract The wide range of survey of road dangerous existing stone arch bridge in service in Three Gorges reservoir area, reveals that there has been a wide range of diseases, which seriously affected the safety of their use. A wide range of diseases, from different angles, respectively, to varying degrees, affected the performance of the stone arch bridge. In this paper, multi-level fuzzy synt...

Description: Gasification involves the conversion of carbon sources without combustion to syngas, which can be used as a fuel itself or further processed to synthetic fuels. The technology provides a potentially more efficient means of energy generation than direct combustion. This book provides an overview of gasification science and engineering and the production of synthetic fuels by gasific...

Recent parameter matching methods for multiple wavetable synthesis have used a simple relative spectral error formula to measure how accurately the synthetic spectrum matches an original spectrum [1]. It is supposed that the smaller the spectral error, the better the match, but this is not always true. This paper describes a modified error formula, which takes into account the masking character...
