BreastScreen Tasmania (BST) is a health service organisation with a complex information ecology dominated by information integration and work practice standardization embodied in the client record. The client record is oriented to provide evidence of organization-level standards compliance. Client record data is also used to support professional practice specific communication, the coordination...

7.1 Introduction This chapter is about decidability and complexity issues in modal logic; more specifically, we confine ourselves to satisfiability (and the complementary validity) problems. The satisfiability problem is the following: for a fixed class of models, to determine whether a given formula ϕ is satisfiable in some model of that class (a more precise definition will follow). The gener...

Dear Editor, In recent years, multi-modal medical image fusion has received widespread attention in the processing community. However, existing works on methods are mostly devoted to pursuing high performance visual perception and objective metrics, while ignoring specific purpose clinical applications. this letter, we propose a glioma segmentation-oriented magnetic resonance (MR) method using ...

This paper reviews and compares theories of fuzzy sets and rough sets. Two approaches for the formulation of fuzzy sets are reviewed, one is based on many-valued logic and the other is based on modal logic. Two views of rough sets are presented, set-oriented view and operator-oriented view. Rough sets under set-oriented view are closely related to fuzzy sets, which leads to non-truth-functional...

The article deals with the question of pragmatic identity modalized constructions in Russian, German and Udmurt languages. presents utterances included speech act interaction modal means, which participate expression a real-ontological situation. aim is to describe functional properties utterances. Modalized are formed help special include verbs particles. It noted that linguistic means differe...

entities, and abstract entities are actual by nature; or perhaps they are “analytic actualists,” holding that ersatz possibilia are actual because it is analytic that everything is actual. Either way, the ersatzist seems to have an advantage over the modal realist in agreeing with common sense that whatever exists is actual. More importantly, the ersatzist has an advantage over the modal realis...

We present VOILA: an optimised, multimodal dialogue agent for interactive learning of visually grounded word meanings from a human user. VOILA is: (1) able to learn new visual categories interactively from users from scratch; (2) trained on real human-human dialogues in the same domain, and so is able to conduct natural spontaneous dialogue; (3) optimised to find the most effective trade-off be...

Rohit Parikh has been one of the pioneers at the interface of modal and dynamic logic. Bringing dynamic, process-oriented concerns into modal logic has been a major move, whose repercussions are still being felt today. In this contribution, I consider the bridge concept of bisimulation, which links modal logic with computational process theories. Our main results show how its model-theoretic in...

The Modal distribution is a time-frequency distribution specifically designed to model the quasi-harmonic, multi-sinusoidal, nature of music signals and belongs to the Cohen general class of time-frequency distributions. A streaming, object-oriented implementation of the Modal distribution is presented which forms the basis for designing other members of the Cohen class. Implementation of this ...

This paper presents ‘source’ as the distinctive feature for a twofold semantic categorization for Chinese modal expressions. Previous studies have characterized Chinese modals as words used to express the speaker’s opinion or attitude. Yet given the absence of morphological and syntactic distinctions in Chinese, there has been little consensus among different accounts as to within what limit th...
