For—according to the lore—any attempt at pullingoff this featwill reduce themtomaterial implicationand that is decidedlynot agoodwayof assigning truth-conditions to ordinary indicative if s. That is too bad since it seems like they are bounded from above by strict implication (they are true when their antecedents straight out imply their consequents), are bounded from below by material implicat...

Frequency hopping systems have been widely used in military communications to prevent hostile jamming, interception and detection. In traditional frequency hopping (FH) systems, the transmitter hops in a pseudo-random manner among available frequencies according to a pre-specified algorithm, and the receiver operates accordingly in exact synchronization with the transmitter's hopping pattern. I...

In this study, we introduce new generalizations of higher-order type-I functions and pseudo-convexity functions. The application the notion sublinear functionals to these is crucial our main findings. Furthermore, under functions, established studied six types duality models programs for multiple objective nonlinear programming problems. addition, use formulate prove theorems weak duality, stro...

We prove that certain Lipschitz properties of the inverse F-1 of a set-valued map F are inherited by the map (f+F)~x when / has vanishing strict derivative. In this paper, we present an inverse mapping theorem for set-valued maps F acting from a complete metric space I toa linear space Y with a (translation) invariant metric. We prove that, for any function f: X -> Y with "vanishing strict deri...

A novel mannose-specific lectin, named CGL1 (15.5 kDa), was isolated from the oyster Crassostrea gigas. Characterization of CGL1 involved isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), glycoconjugate microarray, and frontal affinity chromatography (FAC). This analysis revealed that CGL1 has strict specificity for the mannose monomer and for high mannose-type N-glycans (HMTGs). Primary structure of CGL...

We construct a sound, complete, and terminating tableau system for the interval temporal logic D · interpreted in interval structures over dense linear orderings endowed with strict subinterval relation (where both endpoints of the sub-interval are strictly inside the interval). In order to prove the soundness and completeness of our tableau construction, we introduce a kind of finite pseudo-mo...

This paper discusses some serious difficulties for what we shall call the standard account of various kinds of relative necessity, according to which any given kind of relative necessity may be defined by a strict conditional necessarily, if C then p where C is a suitable constant proposition, such as a conjunction of physical laws. We argue, with the help of Humberstone (Reports on Mathematica...
