We present a general argument which suggests that the Bartels-LipatovVacca Odderon intercept should be equal to one to all orders in the perturbation theory. The argument is based on the validity of the so called omega-expansion in the high energy limit. It can be further supported by the analogous pattern observed in the case of the anomalous dimensions which is a consequence of the momentum s...

We introduce the abstract framework of decentralized smart contracts system with balance and transaction amount hiding property under the ACCOUNT architecture. To build a concrete system with such properties, we utilize a homomorphic public key encryption scheme and construct a highly efficient non-interactive zero knowledge (NIZK) argument based upon the encryption scheme to ensure the validit...

This article evaluates a validity argument for the degree towhich assessment tasks are able to provide evidence about knowledge that fuses information from a progression of core disciplinary ideas in ecology and a progression for the scientific practice of developing evidence-based explanations. The article describes the interpretive framework for the argument, including evidence for howwell th...

background: sustained visual attention is a prerequisite for learning and memory. the early evaluation of attention in childhood is essential for their school and career success in the future. the aim of this study was to design, development and investigation of psychometric properties (content, face and convergent validity and test-retest and internal consistency reliability) of the computer -...

The theory of argumentation is a rich, interdisciplinary area of research straddling the fields of artificial intelligence, philosophy, communication studies, linguistics, and psychology. In the last years, significant progress has been made in understanding the theoretical properties of different argumentation logics. However, one major barrier to the development and practical deployment of ar...

The prevailing approach to understanding the syntactic mapping of arguments and argument alternations is to assume that verbs are organized into semantically distinct verb classes and that class membership determines the grammaticality of argument alternations. This paper presents syntactic evidence that verb-class membership cannot explain the causative and locative alternations, and that alte...

In ever so many philosophical introductions to formal logic the latter is presented as the philosopher’s ars iudicandi, i. e. as the instrument that evaluates the quality of philosophical arguments or, more generally, of informal reasoning. 1 Irrespective of its content, an argument is only worthy of consideration if it is valid, i. e. if the truth of its premise(s) necessitates the truth of it...

Edward Said is regarded as the originator of colonial discourse theory. He deploys Michel Foucault’s notion of discourse to accomplish his project in Orientalism and emphasizes Foucault’s notion of discourse and its relation to power, rendering discourse a carceral system. Although Said explicitly expresses the similarity between Orientalism and Foucault’s discourse theory, it seems he...

It is generally accepted that optimal TCP receive buffer size is based on network conditions. We argue that processing limitations at the end hosts should also be a consideration. We present initial analysis as to the validity of this argument, noting process-receive buffer dynamics and its affect on throughput. Based on our observations, we offer suggestions as to how better network performanc...

According to Mercier and Sperber (2009, 2011, 2017), people have an immediate intuitive feeling about the strength of argument. These evaluations are not captured by current evaluation methods argument strength, yet they could be important predict extent which accept claim supported In exploratory study, therefore, a newly developed method assess was compared explicit (the PAS scale; Zhao et al...
