Software quality is a complex concept containing a large number of quality criteria.

The present paper develops a logic for ‘because’ based on systematic connections between ‘because’ and the truthfunctional connectives.

The purpose of the present study is to propose a scheme to estimate whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (WBA-SAR) in the whole-body resonance and GHz frequency regions. The motivation is that WBA-SARs in the child models in these frequency regions have been reported to approach to the basic restrictions in the international guidelines/standards. In the resonance frequency region, we pr...
