Knowledge representation and reasoning so far have focused on the ideal ultimate goal, thus stressing logical consistency and semantic homogeneity. On the way to consistent and homogenous knowledge representation and reasoning, inconsistencies and divergent opinions often have to be dealt with. In this article, a social vision of knoweldge representation is proposed which accomodates conflictin...

Let  $varpi$ be a representation of the homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ be a locally compact group and  $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. For  an admissible wavelet $zeta$ for $varpi$  and $psi in L^p(G/H), 1leq p <infty$, we determine a class of bounded  compact operators  which are related to continuous wavelet transforms on homogeneous spaces and they are called localization operators.

We present a pore-scale study of two-phase relative permeability in homogenous-wet porous media, and porous media altered to a mixed-wet state. A Shan-Chen type multicomponent lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is employed to determine pore-scale fluid distributions and relative permeability. Mixedwet states are created by altering the wettability of solid surfaces in contact with the nonwetting phas...

Business process management (BPM) promises an efficient and simple application of business processes. Although there are many approaches belonging to BPM, BPM suffers from the wide heterogeneity of tools and approaches and their missing integration into a homogenous workflow. In this paper, we argue for a consistent system, which supports each step of BPM. The system consists of a virtual machi...

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...

We propose a rational quantum deformed nonlocal currents in the homogenous space SU(2)k/U(1), and in terms of it and a free boson field a representation for the Drinfeld currents of Yangian double at a general level k = c is obtained. In the classical limit h̄ → 0, the quantum nonlocal currents become SU(2)k parafermion, and the realization of Yangian double becomes the parafermion realization o...
