Clinical Question : Is there a relationship between resilience and self-reported function in patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty? Bottom Line There is inconsistent, good-quality Level II evidence that investigates the after arthroplasty.

Self-control means choosing a large delayed reward over a small immediate reward; impulsiveness is its opposite. The metabolic hypothesis states that the amount of self-control across species correlates negatively with metabolic rate (Tobin & Logue, 1994). Foraging honeybees have high metabolic rates; the metabolic hypothesis would predict little self-control in bees. But foraging bees work for...

The interconnected networks have many policies and traffic environments. The inconsistency between networks results in set of conflictions that debase the entire performance. The convergence process takes sometime to adapt the sub-networks, this lags the service time at all levels. The inconsistency between the sub-networks during this paper concerns on ten elements: Packet Length (PL) and form...

In previous work we advocated continued development of specifications in the presence of inconsistency. To support this we presented quasi-classical (QC) logic for reasoning with inconsistent specifications. The logic allows the derivation of non-trivial classical inferences from inconsistent information. In this paper we present a development called labelled QC logic, and some associated analy...

In this paper we present a framework of reasoning with inconsistent ontologies, in which pre-defined selection functions are used to deal with concept relevance. We examine how the notion of ”concept relevance” can be used for reasoning with inconsistent ontologies. We have implemented a prototype called PION (Processing Inconsistent ONtologies), which is based on a syntactic relevance-based se...

There has always been interest in inconsistency in science, not least within science itself as scientists strive to devise a consistent picture of the universe. Some important early landmarks in this history are Copernicus’s criticism of the Ptolemaic picture of the heavens, Galileo’s claim that Aristotle’s theory of motion was inconsistent, and Berkeley’s claim that the early calculus was inco...

Context & motivation. During model-based engineering, numerous diagrams are created , some of which document the same behavioral properties of the system from different perspectives (cf. [1]). In industrial practice these diagrams are often developed or revised independently of each other. In consequence, inconsistencies will almost inevitably arise during the development. This situation may, f...
