in this study, a bacterial species which could remove lead from wastewater was isolated from lead contaminated soil prepared in the laboratory. based on the biochemical and morphological characterization the bacteria were identified as brevundimonas vesicularis. the biosorption potentiel of powdered dry biomass of b. vesicularis was investigated by batch adsorption experiments. it was found tha...

this study investigated the relative effects of deductive and inductive form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisition of 4 non-generic definite article uses(cultural, situational, structural, and textual) as assessed by explicit and implicit outcome measures. the tests utilized to assess efl learners' acquisition of definite article uses were timed and untimed grammaticality judgment tests....

The use of wireless communication using inductive links to transfer data and power to implantable microsystems to stimulate and monitor nerves and muscles is increasing. This paper deals with the development of the theoretical analysis and optimization of an inductive link based on coupling and on spiral circular coil geometry. The coil dimensions offer 22 mm of mutual distance in air. However,...

This paper presents a spatial association discovery system, named SPADA, which has been developed according to the theoretical framework of inductive databases. Our approach considers inductive databases as deductive databases with an integrated inductive component and relies on techniques borrowed from the field of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP). In SPADA, an ILP module supports the process...

Objective Bayesianism has been criticised for not allowing learning from experience: it is claimed that an agent must give degree of belief 2 to the next raven being black, however many other black ravens have been observed. I argue that this objection can be overcome by appealing to objective Bayesian nets, a formalism for representing objective Bayesian degrees of belief. Under this account, ...

With the development of communication technologies, the use of wireless systems in biomedical implanted devices has become very useful. Bio-implantable devices are electronic devices which are used for treatment and monitoring brain implants, pacemakers, cochlear implants, retinal implants and so on. The inductive coupling link is used to transmit power and data between the primary and secondar...

In order to represent, compute and reason with advanced data types one must go beyond the traditional treatment of data types as being inductive types and, instead, consider them as inductive families. Strictly positive types (SPTs) form a grammar for defining inductive types and, consequently, a fundamental question in the theory of inductive families is what constitutes a corresponding gramma...

This paper is concerned with the foundations of Inductive Data Type Systems, an extension of pure type systems by inductive data types. IDTS generalize (inductive) types equipped with primitive recursion of higher-type, by providing de nitions of functions by pattern matching of a form which is general enough to capture recursor de nitions for strictly positive inductive types. IDTS also genera...

This chapter concerns the relation between statistics and inductive logic. I start by describing induction in formal terms, and I introduce a general notion of probabilistic inductive inference. This provides a setting in which statistical procedures and inductive logics can be captured. Specifically, I discuss three statistical procedures (hypotheses testing, parameter estimation, and Bayesian...

This paper discusses the effect of inductive coil shape on the sensing performance of a linear displacement sensor. The linear displacement sensor consists of a thin type inductive coil with a thin pattern guide, thus being suitable for tiny space applications. The position can be detected by measuring the inductance of the inductive coil. At each position due to the change in inductive coil ar...
