We adapt backward planning to Logics of Communication and Change (LCC), that model how do actions, announcements and sensing change facts and agents’ beliefs. An LCC planner takes into account the epistemic effects of planned actions upon other agents, if their beliefs are relevant to her goals. Our results include: a characterization of frame axioms as theorems in ∗-free LCC, and soundness and...

In this paper, we investigate consensus and disturbance attenuation in a chain of mobile agents, which include non-autonomous agents, semi-autonomous agents and autonomous agents. In particular, the nonlinear dynamics of non-autonomous agents is given and cannot be designed, while the dynamics of semi-autonomous and autonomous agents can be partially and fully designed, respectively. To improve...

Abstract This paper sketches elements of a theory the ethics autonomised harming: phenomenon delegating decisions about whether and whom to harm artificial intelligence (AI) in self-driving cars autonomous weapon systems. First, elucidates challenge integrating non-human, agents, which lack rights duties, into our moral framework relies on precisely these notions determine permissibility harmin...

The association of aetiological agents incriminated for bladder cancer are well recognised. They are divided into two groups, occupational and non-occupational. The commonest occupational agents are 2-naphthylamine, benzidine, aminobiphenyl, dichlorobenzidine, orthodianisidine and orthotolidine. Recognised non-occupational agents include tobacco, recurrent chronic bladder infection/infestation,...

abstract: fifteen non-aflatoxigenic strains of aspergillus flavus, represent a wide range of geographic regions of iran (six provinces include fars, ardebil, guilan, golestan, kerman and semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (vcgs), were collected from corn (zea mays l.), peanut (arachis hypogaea l.) and pistachio (pistachia vera l.) soils and kernels, were screened for the presence of af...

In their textbook, Osborne and Rubinstein describe game theory as “a bag of analytical tools designed to help us understand the phenomena that we observe when decision-makers interact” ([8] page 1). They go on to say that one of the basic assumptions of game theory is that when agents make decisions, they take into account “their knowledge or expectations of other decision-makers’ behavior (the...

Acid peptic diseases are common gastrointestinal disorders, which include gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcers, non-ulcer dyspepsia and stressrelated gastric mucosal injury. Drugs commonly used in the management of these disorders include antacids, H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors and mucosal protective agents. In this chapter, pharmacology of these drugs will be discussed, followe...
