utrition and cell death are integrated in a single mitochondrial complex, according to Nika Danial, Stanley Korsmeyer (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA), and colleagues. The complex was discovered after gel filtration of the pro-apoptotic BAD protein, and contains BAD, a phosphatase, kinase, and kinase-anchoring protein directed at BAD, and glucokinase. In cells lacking BAD, the complex falls...

We describe encodings in Answer Set Programming for abductive reasoning in First Order Logic in acyclic Horn theories in the presence of value invention and in the absence of Unique Names Assumption. We perform experiments using the Accel benchmark for abductive plan recognition in natural language processing. Results show, that our encodings cannot compete with state-of-the-art realizations of...

this paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. the methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (smo) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. the faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output error i...
