We propose a uniied formal treatment of design, analysis, synthesis and control in distributed systems of intelligent agents. Our approach goes back to rough set the+ory and we propose rough mereology as a foundational basis for our approach. Rough mereology is a theory of the relation of being a part in a degree which can be regarded as a particular implementation of a general idea of fuzzy co...

Aim Present a systematic development of part of the the ory of combinatorial games from the ground up Approach Computa tional complexity Combinatorial games are completely determined the questions of interest are e ciencies of strategies Methodology Divide and conquer Isolate the various di culties separating hard from easy games and attack them individually Presentation Informal examples of ga...

There is growing interest in nuclear physics applications of effective field theory. I give a brief account of some of the latest developments in this area. I also describe interplay between this new approach and the traditional nuclear physics approach. As is well known, the description of nuclear structure based on the phenomenological potential picture has been extremely successful [1]. In t...

We introduce a basic framework for multi agent belief revision in heterogeneous societies where agents are required to be consistent in their beliefs on shared variables We identify several properties one may require a general multi agent belief revision operator to satisfy and show several basic implications of these requirements Our work reveals the connection between multi agent belief revis...

Derivatives of 6-chloro-5-methylthiopyrimidines provide potent inhibitors of the photosynthe­ tic electron flow, which act like Diuron on fluorescence induction kinetics and competitively displace it from its binding site. Structure-activity relationships show that, unlike triazines, ac­ tivities of 2or 4-alkylamino derivatives are restricted by steric hindrances. Decreases in inhibit­ ory acti...

Abstract Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) confer poor survival outcomes with minimal treatment options due to a high rate of therapeutic resistance and few surgical options. One subgroup pHGG is diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Patient-derived cell lines, such as SU-DIPG-XIII, SU-DIPG-VI, SU-DIPG-IV, recapitulate epigenetic mutations seen in patients. In these lysine-specific demethy...

The essay examines the intersection between aesthetic the-ory and representations of city in periodical Spectator (1711-1714). Focusing on this allows for an analysis cultural work pleasure is supposed to do according Spectator, also shows key differenc-es “spectatorial” later, Kantian aesthetics. In has with producing a model how one should relate realm politics—rather than disin-terest, preco...
