The views of linguistic analysts and objectivists are explored with regard to the question of interactionism. It is argued that the admission of a logical difference between explanation by cause and explanation by motive cannot disqualify causal explanations of human action, cannot be construed as challenging the competence of science, and cannot count against interactionism. It is also argued ...

A key feature of optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks is the inherently high degree of configurability available in the presence of tunable transceivers. More specifically, the flexibility of WDM networks lies in the ability to admit a large number of logical interconnections of nodes within the network. Indeed, this is a feature that distinguishes optical networks and drives ...

Finding a logical formula that separates positive and negative examples given in the form of labeled data items is fundamental applications such as concept learning, reverse engineering database queries, generating referring expressions, entity comparison knowledge graphs. In this paper, we investigate existence separating for presence an ontology. Both ontology language separation language, co...

In Topological Data Analysis, filtered chain complexes enter the persistence pipeline between initial filtering of data and final invariants extraction. It is known that they admit a tame class indecomposables, called interval spheres. this paper, we provide an algorithm to decompose into such This provides geometric insights various aspects standard two its runtime optimizations. Moreover, sin...

The inherent nonlinearities in the kinetics and heat transfer models of biomass pyrolysis have led to the applications of various numerical methods in solving the nonlinear problems. However, in order to have physical insights into the phenomena and to show the direct relationships between the parameters of the models, analytical solutions are required. In this work, approximate analytical solu...

Hybrid type-logical grammars (Kubota & Levine 2012, Kubota & Levine 2013c, Kubota & Levine 2013a) are a relatively new framework in computational linguistics, which combines insights from the Lambek calculus (Lambek 1958) and lambda grammars (Oehrle 1994, Muskens 2001, Muskens 2003)— lambda grammars are also called, depending on the authors, abstract categorial grammars (de Groote 2001) and lin...

Johan van Benthem has highlighted in his work that many questions arising in the analysis of strategic interaction call for logical and computational analysis. These questions lead to both formal and conceptually illuminating answers, in that they contribute to clarifying some of the underlying assumptions behind certain aspects of game-theoretical reasoning. We focus on the insights of a part ...

Brenner and colleagues [1], in their article published in Critical Care, showed elevated levels of the reactive carbonyl species (RCS) methylglyoxal (MG) in the circulation of patients with septic shock. We commend the authors’ bravery in launching this molecule into a field well-populated with biomarkers and where clinical diagnosis persists as the ‘gold standard’ [2]. The authors hypothesised...

the problem of series two-block disjoint decomposition of completely specifiedboolean functions is considered. analysis and investigation of such systems are veryimportant in logical design context. recently, a good method for solving thisproblem was suggested which has been based on the ternary matrix cover approach.using this method a computer program was developed. this paper is focused onde...
