Unfortunately first-order logic has certain limitations which are felt in many applications such as in hardware verification. The use of proof assistants like the HOL sys tem ([Gord88]) is therefore resorted to. However many theorems of higher order logic can also be proven by methods of first order logic as well. Being aware of this situation, we have implemented a prover based on Sequent Calc...

Due to more effective treatment protocols, seventy percent of patients with childhood cancer in the Netherlands nowadays have a five years survival. Long term follow up, however, shows that these treatment protocols leave seventy to eighty percent of these patients with adverse outcomes 1,2,3. Preserving treatment details and data on adverse long term treatment effects is invaluable for individ...

This brief paper, which is itself an extended abstract for a for thcoming paper, describes a metric that can be easily computed during either bo t tom-up or top-down construct ion of a parse tree for ranking the desirability of alternative parses. In its simplest form, the metr ic tends to p r e f e r trees in which const i tuents are pushed as far down a s possible, but by appropriate modifica...

Aim: We investigated the impact of fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes on ECG in predicting papillary muscle dyssynchrony and functional mitral regurgitation in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with narrow QRS and sinus rhythm. Methods: Thirty-one non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy patients with fQRS and 16 patients without fQRS were evaluated for intraventricular and papillary mu...

S yndromic surveillance (SyS) is a biosurveillance methodology that integrates new information technologies, electronic health record data, and principles of epidemiology and biostatistics. The data are collected from hospitals and public health departments and transmitted to public health agencies in near-real time (at least every 24 hours). The data reported are categorized as a “syndrome” on...

ABSTRACT We use Gaia photometry and astrometry to estimate the vertical spatial structure of Milky Way at Solar radius, formally accounting for sample incompleteness (the selection function) parallax measurement uncertainty. Our results show impressive precision demonstrating power data. However, systematic errors dominate parameter value uncertainties. thoroughly test quantify impacts all The ...

The problem of programming a robot t o carry out a sys temat ic exploration of i ts environment using realistic sensors i s considered in this paper. The robot i s modelled as a single point moving in a twodimensional configuration space populaied wi th visually opaque and transparent obstacles. The robot is equipped with proximity sensors , a vision-based recogni t ion sys tem, and a method of...

Geometr ic invariants are shape desrriptors that remain unchanged under geometric transformations such as projection, or change of the viewpoint. In [,?I we devc’loped a new method of obtaining local projert ive antl affine invariants for a general curve without any correspondences. Being local, the invariants are much Ii ss sensitive to occlusion than global invariants . The iniiariants comput...

Preliminary results from the BABAR experiment on charmless B decays to charged pions or kaons, and the measurement of the B→J/ψ K * decay amplitudes are presented. The data sample , collected at the asymmetric-energy B-factory PEP-II at SLAC, comprises a total number of 22.7 million Υ (4S) decays, corresponding to an integrated on-resonance luminosity of approximately 21 fb −1. We measure the f...
