While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Tighter security could mean delays at Frankfurt airport
DPA/The Local · 24 Mar 2016, 10:42
Published: 24 Mar 2016 10:42 GMT+01:00
- 'No fear' of terrorism among Berlin train travellers (23 Mar 16)
- German airports on high alert after Brussels explosions (22 Mar 16)
The increased police presence comes as a response to terror attacks in Brussels on Tuesday, when two suicide bombers blew themselves up at Brussels airport.
A third attacked a metro station in the city. The attacks claimed a total of 31 victims.
A spokesperson for Frankfurt airport told The Local that passengers should be at check-in two to two and a half hours before departure.
He also warned that there could be police spot checks on cars on the access roads to the terminals, and that drivers should also factor that in.
"We are also expecting increased numbers of passengers with 170,000 per day for the next three days," he said.
Recommending people play it safe, he said "there is enough to do at the airport in terms of shopping, if you have time to spare."
Lufthansa, Europe's largest airline, has cancelled all flights to and from Brussels up until Easter Monday.
A total of 156 flights are affected, but the airline is offering a replacement bus service for the roughly 12,300 passengers who intended to make the trip.
A spokesperson for the company told The Local that all other flights would be running according to schedule.

A core philosophy of Smith & Nephew is healing through understanding.
It is for this reason we have developed a national series of wound management, casting, and compression courses. We feel that when you learn best practice in key indications (e.g. diabetic wounds), and understand how to use our products most effectively you achieve better healing outcomes and cost savings because the patient recovers faster.
In summary...
Leg Ulcer Seminars
Leg ulcers form a large component of the chronic wound group. Accurate assessment is essential to clarify the underlying aetiology, to facilitate implementation of the most appropriate pathway for treatment to optimise healing. The Smith & Nephew Leg Ulcer Seminar is designed to provide an overview of the primary leg ulcer types and a clinical profile of each leg ulcer type including:
- pathophysiology of the aetiology
- predisposing factors that may lead to the aetiology
- assessment and investigative pathways
- clinical profiles and descriptors of each leg ulcer type
- management pathways to optimise healing
- a summary of management pathways, as endorsed by The International Leg Ulcer Advisory Panel
- Product profile (includes expanded information on compression therapy related to venous leg ulcers).
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia Continuing Professional Development Registration Standard states "One hour of active learning will equal one hour of CPD." 1
All nurses and midwives must meet the continuing professional development (CPD) standards.
Each hour of this seminar is equal to one hour of CPD. This seminar runs for 6 hours.

Mobile is a top threat to business but security is lagging, says Sophos
Mobile devices are one of the biggest security threats and challenges to organisations, says security firm Sophos.
This Article Covers
Risk management
Mobile devices are one of the biggest security threats and challenges to organisations, says security firm Sophos.
"The mobile security market is behind where it needs to be," according to James Lyne, director of technology strategy at Sophos.
Mobile security is on the risk register of many chief information security officers, he says, but the security market's ability to service their needs is currently limited.

Given that security suppliers need to do some rapid development to fill the gap, it is imperative that businesses take care of security basics, Lyne told Computer Weekly.
This includes implementing complex passwords and ensuring data encryption capabilities are turned on and used.
Research commissioned by Sophos shows that while 50% of more than 1,000 respondents do not feel confident that data would be secure if their mobile devices were lost, 30% said their company does not have a security policy in place to protect information on personal devices used for work purposes.
Lyne says it is important for all organisations using mobile devices to have a security policy in place and to have the means to ensure that all users and devices are compliant.
"Mobile data communications present a significant business opportunity, but it can also be a threat unless managed properly," he says.
When fully fledged mobile security products become available in late 2011 and early 2012, Lyne says it will provide organisations with an opportunity to throw out legacy architectures, start afresh, and apply lessons learned.
"Most IT security has been about Microsoft in the past, but now there are many more operating systems in corporate environments on mobile devices that need the same kind of protection," he says.
IT security policies need to be focused on strengthening an organisation's defences on the proliferation of operating platforms used by employees.
This can be achieved in the short term through better web security and patch management, as well as application, device and access control, says Lyne.

Strictly Come Dancing Tickets
Sorry there are no shows for Strictly Come Dancing right now.
What people are saying about Strictly Come Dancing
Rated 4 out of 5 by Besty27 from Absolutely fab-u-lous went with a really good friend and had a good night better than last years concert.
Date published: 2016-02-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kelly34 from Fantastic show, slightly disappointed with the venue I booked the tickets as a present for my mum for Christmas and also as something for both of us to do together before I move in th summer to North Wales. The show was spectacular and the performance was second to none. The only gripe we both had with Manchester Arena was the air conditioning. It was a freezing cold day all in all and to have to sit with it blaring down on your head, neck and shoulders was not good especially for my mum who suffers terribly with various forms of arthritis. I would suggest that it gets addressed sooner rather than later.

Rated 4 out of 5 by StarlotteChubbs from Strictly Tour - gift for 50yo mother Took my mum as a gift and we both loved it. Had food in the o2 (6:10pm) before had and headed into the venue at 7:15pm. If you haven't booked go sooner to avoid food queues. The event itself was really happy, upbeat and funny. Dancers used the entire floor space, Mel G was hilarious as a host, links were seemless. It was really really great! The screens were necessary from the 4th floor but you stopped noticing quickly and were able to go between both the screen and the floor.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Little Owl from Good seats for a lovely evenings entertainment I was a bit worried when I decided not to buy tickets for the official source and plump for better seats with this tick company. But we got our tickets in good time for the show and the seats were there and waiting for us when we arrived. The show was good family friendly entertainment, very similar in format to the show you see on the tele, although you could tell it was treated with quite the same seriousness, there was a more relaxed atmosphere.

Rated 4 out of 5 by karenkefj from strictly come dancing it was an extremely good performance. it would have been useful when booking the tickets if I had been informed that the seating was up a very steep flight of steps as one of our party was over 80. so it was difficult getting up and down to our seats and during the interval we remained in our seats for that reason. it was our first experience at this arena

Great night so much fun the judges the couples all look like they are having a blast which sweeps you along . The host Mel is totally underrated she is brilliant ; quick funny holds it all together. I will be going next year

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alisonth2001 from Fab-u-lous What a fantastic show. Possibly even better than the to show and that's down to the fantastic Mel G who hosted the evening. The dancing was fab with just the right amount of audience participation. Excellent seats but I dont think there would have been a bad one. Our party's ages ranged from 8 to 70 and all had a fantastic time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Longtallsally from Cant wait to go again! Tickets were purchased as Christmas presents for my Mum and 8 year old daughter. We all had the best time and we cant wait to go again. It was very well organised from start to finish. All the staff at MEN were friendly and helpful and the show organisers must work so hard to pull it all off. Brilliant.

The Continuing Education and Workforce Development Department (CEWD) at BCC offers short-term programs and classes for self-improvement, cultural enrichment, and academic achievement geared toward adults seeking skills for employment, intellectual stimulation, community involvement and social interaction.
Many small business courses are free due to funding from a Small Business Center grant. Seniors, 65 and older, can also take many classes free of charge.
The Yellowfin/OIFC.com Fall Brawl King Classic, based at the Ocean Isle Fishing Center, is this weekend.
Competitors fish either Saturday or Sunday. Competitors declare their intended fish day on their registration form or have until 7 a.m. Saturday to call (910) 253-3474 and leave a message declaring the fish day. If a fish day is not declared, Saturday automatically will be counted as the fish day.
The cold may not be at the top of your "favorite things" list, but as far as stimulating fall fishing, this is the exact weather we need to get the final push of fish that our area is due.
The spots certainly will be running in full force by the weekend, as beach water temperatures cool to near 70 degrees. This also means the beach king mackerel fishing should be excellent. Typically just before the water reaches the 60s, the kings will bite good at Shallotte Inlet, so I'm looking for that to take place any day.
Cooler weather has pushed fall fishing along quickly. Variable winds and weather conditions mean fishing luck changes daily, but it also means a lot of species are moving through our local waters.
Speckled trout are active inside. Trout hit throughout the year, but middle to late fall is probably being the best time to fish for them. During autumn, specks can be targeted in a variety of ways. They like a moving bait and are schooled up very tightly.
Sometimes human beings have the chance to witness something magical like a lavish church wedding, the birth of a child, a baby's first smile.
The magic may be as simple as a view from a mountaintop, or a sunset by a salt marsh as a great blue heron streams into the sky. It could be the rise and fall of a school of dolphins as it navigates the Intracoastal Waterway.
My husband, Gene, and I and 10 other couples had a magical experience last week in Mount Pleasant, S.C., when a golf trip turned into a wedding none of us will ever forget.
The weekly tournament was Oct. 13. The format was individual flighted scores. First place in the first flight was a tie between Butch Cunningham and Bob Koegel at a net score of 68. Second flight net: 1. Bill Shanley, 65; 2. Larry Agrimonti, 69; 3. Alan Morrissey, 70.
The K-9 enforcement team answers calls, conducts driver's license checkpoints and assists with other agencies when K-9s are needed.
From Oct. 12-18, K-9 deputies answered 15 calls, wrote seven uniform citations and made nine drug arrests.

Skip to comments.Iowa rep will file lawsuit over immigration announcement
Posted on 06/30/2014 3:32:06 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal
Firebrand Republican Rep. Steve King announced his intention Friday to file a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, calling unconstitutional the administration's plan to stop deporting some young, illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children.
"This is no longer a debate about immigration policy. The debate is now about the Constitution and the Rule of Law," the Iowa congressman said in a statement. "I am preparing to bring suit against the President and ask for a court to enjoin him from implementing his unconstitutional and unlawful policy."
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
Maybe Steve King should sue Boehner for plagiarizing his ideas.
At least one Republican has responded to this. Where are the rest of them? AWOL as usual.
This is 2 years old. He was the only one. Now all these others are jumping on the bandwagon.
Boner is a jackwagon. Is that the same thing?
Firebrand? LOL. CNN editorializing again in so-called news stories.
1. Many of us believe that once Obama gets his immigration reform bill passed, he will change it, or enforce only parts of it that he chooses.
2. For instance, look at Obamacare.
3. Obama has made so many changes to the original law through executive action that it is hardly recognizable.
4. So any lawmaker who is thinking about immigration reform this year must seriously re-think his decision.
Just so totally fed up, especially with those from Texas. Illegals are destroying our state and nothing from them except for Gene Green and the Democrat ones who are pushing the amnesty envelope. Get tired of saying, "And for this we worked our butts off to elect a Republican Congress?"

So friendly and reassuring. Ken phoned me to keep me updated whilst waiting for parts and explained how the problem could be fixed very clearly. I know very little about cars and Ken never patronised me, being respectful and polite all the way. Thoroughly recommend this service
Excellent service
Absolutely fantastic job. I do recommend this mechanic. He gave me a call straight after my quote submission. This was the reason for choosing him.
Kens quality and professionalism is fantastic. My dealt with my problem and sorted it out quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended. Cheers Ken
Great work, very quick. Kept me informed all the way through and did some extra jobs at no extra charge. Very polite. Would recommend them.
very helpful, great service, helpful team
What a Garage! Will defo use again. As picked up the car, did the MOT and replaced some steering rods which was very cheep, then Serviced the car and now feels like a new car as never felt so smooth. then replaced the Clutch which works fine, then returned the car all done Thanks. Highly recommend. Best price by far.
I would recommend this garage.
Great service. I was out of town so they came and picked my car up and dropped it off after the work was completed. Would definitely recommend

Automatic detection of bunches of grapes in natural environment from color imagesM. J C S Reis | R. Morais | E. Peres | C. Pereira | O. Contente | S. Soares | A. Valente | J. Baptista | P. J S G Ferreira | J. Bulas Cruz
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 285-290
Despite the benefits of precision agriculture and precision viticulture production systems, its rate of adoption in the Portuguese Douro Demarcated Region remains low. We believe that one way to raise it is to address challenging real-world problems whose solution offers a clear benefit to the viticulturist. For example, one of the most demanding tasks in wine making is harvesting. Even for humans, the environment makes grape detection difficult, especially when the grapes and leaves have a similar color, which is generally the case for white grapes. In this paper, we propose a system for the detection and location, in the natural environment, of bunches of grapes in color images. This system is able to distinguish between white and red grapes, and at the same time, it calculates the location of the bunch stem. The system achieved 97% and 91% correct classifications for red and white grapes, respectively. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Deontic epistemic stit logic distinguishing modes of mens reaJan Broersen
Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 137-152
Most juridical systems contain the principle that an act is only unlawful if the agent conducting the act has a 'guilty mind' ('mens rea'). Different law systems distinguish different modes of mens rea. For instance, American law distinguishes between 'knowingly' performing a criminal act, 'recklessness', 'strict liability', etc. This paper shows we can formalize several of these categories. The formalism used is a complete stit logic featuring operators for actions taking effect in next states, operators for S5-knowledge and operators for SDL-type obligation. The different modes of 'mens rea' correspond to the violation conditions of different types of obligation definable in the logic. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Multiple-Valued Logic mathematical approaches for multi-state system reliability analysisElena Zaitseva | Vitaly Levashenko
Volume 11, Issue 3, September 2013, Pages 350-362
A mathematical description of an examined system such as Multi-State System (MSS) permits the system reliability to be analyzed in more detail, because the MSS defines some performance levels (more than only working and failure). The structure function is one of the basic definitions and representations of MSS. But the dimension of the structure function increases critically depending on the number of system components. Therefore, the development of methods for examination and quantification of such a function is an actual problem in MSS reliability analysis. In this paper, a method for the analysis of the MSS structure function of high dimension is proposed. The principal point of this method is the interpretation of the MSS structure function as a Multiple-Valued Logic function. It allows effective and approved mathematical methods of Multiple-Valued Logic to be used for analysis and quantification of the MSS structure function. We propose to use two mathematical approaches of Multiple-Valued Logic for the MSS. One of them is a representation of the MSS structure function by a Multiple-Valued Decision Diagram. It is an effective approach for analysis and estimation of the function of high dimension in Multiple-Valued Logic. The other approach is Logic Differential Calculus. Logic Differential Calculus is a useful approach for analysis of the MSS state changes. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
A deontic logic framework allowing for factual detachmentChristian Straßer
Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 61-80
Since our ethical and behavioral norms have a conditional form, it is of great importance that deontic logics give an account of deontic commitments such as "A commits you to do/bring about B". It is commonly agreed that monadic approaches are suboptimal for this task due to several shortcomings, for instance their falling short of giving a satisfactory account of "Strengthening the Antecedent" or their difficulties in dealing with contrary-to-duty paradoxes. While dyadic logics are more promising in these respects, they have been criticized for not being able to model "detachment": A and the commitment under A to do B implies the actual obligation to do B. "We seem to feel that detachment should be possible after all. But we cannot have things both ways, can we? This is the dilemma on commitment and detachment." (Lennart Åqvis. Deontic logic. In D. Gabbay and F. Guenthner, editors, Handbook of Philosophical Logic, p. 199, Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2002). In this paper I answer Åqvist's question with "Yes, we can". I propose a general method to turn dyadic deontic logics in adaptive logics allowing for a defeasible factual detachment while paying special attention to specificity and contrary-to-duty cases. I show that a lot of controversy about detachment can be resolved by analysing different notions of unconditional obligations. The logical modeling of detachment is paradigmatically realized on basis of one of Lou Goble's conflict tolerant CDPM logics. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Breast cancer MRI diagnosis approach using support vector machine and pulse coupled neural networksAboul Ella Hassanien | Tai Hoon Kim
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 277-284
This article introduces a hybrid approach that combines the advantages of fuzzy sets, pulse coupled neural networks (PCNNs), and support vector machine, in conjunction with wavelet-based feature extraction. An application of breast cancer MRI imaging has been chosen and hybridization approach has been applied to see their ability and accuracy to classify the breast cancer images into two outcomes: normal or non-normal. The introduced approach starts with an algorithm based on type-II fuzzy sets to enhance the contrast of the input images. This is followed by performing PCNN-based segmentation algorithm in order to identify the region of interest and to detect the boundary of the breast pattern. Then, wavelet-based features are extracted and normalized. Finally, a support vector machine classifier was employed to evaluate the ability of the lesion descriptors for discrimination of different regions of interest to determine whether they represent cancer or not. To evaluate the performance of presented approach, we present tests on different breast MRI images. The experimental results obtained, show that the overall accuracy offered by the employed machine learning techniques is high compared with other machine learning techniques including decision trees, rough sets, neural networks, and fuzzy artmap. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
A QBF-based formalization of abstract argumentation semanticsOfer Arieli | Martin W A Caminada
Volume 11, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 229-252
We introduce a unified logical theory, based on signed theories and Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBFs) that can serve as the basis for representing and computing various argumentation-based decision problems. It is shown that within our framework we are able to model, in a simple and modular way, a wide range of semantics for abstract argumentation theory. This includes complete, grounded, preferred, stable, semi-stable, stage, ideal and eager semantics. Furthermore, our approach is purely logical, making for instance decision problems like skeptical and credulous acceptance of arguments simply a matter of entailment and satisfiability checking. The latter may be verified by off-the-shelf QBF-solvers. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
A calculus for orchestration of web servicesRosario Pugliese | Francesco Tiezzi
Volume 10, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 2-31
Service-oriented computing, an emerging paradigm for distributed computing based on the use of services, is calling for the development of tools and techniques to build safe and trustworthy systems, and to analyse their behaviour. Therefore, many researchers have proposed to use process calculi, a cornerstone of current foundational research on specification and analysis of concurrent, reactive, and distributed systems. In this paper, we follow this approach and introduce CWS, a process calculus expressly designed for specifying and combining service-oriented applications, while modelling their dynamic behaviour. We show that CWS can model all the phases of the life cycle of service-oriented applications, such as publication, discovery, negotiation, orchestration, deployment, reconfiguration and execution. We illustrate the specification style that CWS supports by means of a large case study from the automotive domain and a number of more specific examples drawn from it. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Cut elimination for a logic with induction and co-inductionAlwen Tiu | Alberto Momigliano
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 330-367
Proof search has been used to specify a wide range of computation systems. In order to build a framework for reasoning about such specifications, we make use of a sequent calculus involving induction and co-induction. These proof principles are based on a proof-theoretic (rather than set-theoretic) notion of definition (Hallnäs, 1991 [18], Eriksson, 1991 [11], Schroeder-Heister, 1993 [38], McDowell and Miller, 2000 [22]). Definitions are akin to logic programs, where the left and right rules for defined atoms allow one to view theories as closed or defining fixed points. The use of definitions and free equality makes it possible to reason intensionally about syntax. We add in a consistent way rules for pre- and post-fixed points, thus allowing the user to reason inductively and co-inductively about properties of computational system making full use of higher-order abstract syntax. Consistency is guaranteed via cut-elimination, where we give a direct cut-elimination procedure in the presence of general inductive and co-inductive definitions via the parametric reducibility technique. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
A modal type theory for formalizing trusted communicationsGiuseppe Primiero | Mariarosaria Taddeo
Volume 10, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 92-114
This paper introduces a multi-modal polymorphic type theory to model epistemic processes characterized by trust, defined as a second-order relation affecting the communication process between sources and a receiver. In this language, a set of senders is expressed by a modal prioritized context, whereas the receiver is formulated in terms of a contextually derived modal judgement. Introduction and elimination rules for modalities are based on the polymorphism of terms in the language. This leads to a multi-modal non-homogeneous version of a type theory, in which we show the embedding of the modal operators into standard group knowledge operators. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Pitting corrosion behaviour of austenitic stainless steel using artificial intelligence techniquesM. J. Jiménez-Come | E. Muñoz | R. García | V. Matres | M. L. Martín | F. Trujillo | I. Turias
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 291-297
Different artificial intelligent tools have been used to model pitting corrosion behaviour of EN 1.4404 austenitic stainless steel. Samples from this material have been subjected to polarization tests in different chloride solutions using different precursor salts: NaCl and MgCl2. The aim of this work is to compare the results obtained from the different classification models using both solutions studying the influence of them. Furthermore, in order to determine pitting potential values (Epit), different environmental conditions have been tested varying chloride ion concentration, pH value and temperature. The techniques used try to find the relation between the environmental parameters studied and the status pitting corrosion of this alloy. Several classification techniques have been used: Classification Trees (CT), Discriminant Analysis (DA), K-Nearest-Neighbours (K-NN), Back-Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results obtained show the good correlation between experimental and predicted data for all the cases studied demonstrating the utility of artificial intelligence for modelling pitting corrosion problem. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
A domain specific language for describing diverse systems of dialogueS. Wells | C. A. Reed
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 309-329
This paper introduces the Dialogue Game Description Language (DGDL), a domain specific language for describing dialectical games. Communication is an important topic within agent research and is a fundamental factor in the development of robust and efficient multiagent systems. Similarly, argumentation has been recognised as a key component of an agents ability to make decisions using complex, dynamic, uncertain, and incomplete knowledge. Dialectical games, a type of multi-player argumentative dialogue game, provide a mechanism for communication which incorporates argumentative behaviours. However there are very few tools for working with these games and little agreement over how they should be described, shared, and reused. The DGDL provides a grammar for determining whether a game description is syntactically correct and thus provides a foundation for new tools to support the future development and wider exploitation of dialectical games. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Confirmation as partial entailment: A representation theorem in inductive logicVincenzo Crupi | Katya Tentori
Volume 11, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 364-372
The most prominent research program in inductive logic - here just labeled The Program, for simplicity - relies on probability theory as its main building block and aims at a proper generalization of deductive-logical relations by a theory of partial entailment. We prove a representation theorem by which a class of ordinally equivalent measures of inductive support or confirmation is singled out as providing a uniquely coherent way to work out these two major sources of inspiration of The Program. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
A logical framework for privacy-preserving social network publicationTsan Sheng Hsu | Churn Jung Liau | Da Wei Wang
Volume 12, Issue 2, January 2014, Pages 151-174
Social network analysis is an important methodology in sociological research. Although social network data are valuable resources for data analysis, releasing the data to the public may cause an invasion of privacy. In this paper, we consider privacy preservation in the context of publishing social network data. To address privacy concerns, information about a social network can be released in two ways. Either the global structure of the network can be released in an anonymized way; or non-sensitive information about the actors in the network can be accessed via a query-answering process. However, an attacker could re-identify the actors in the network by combining information obtained in these two ways. The resulting privacy risk depends on the amount of detail in the released network structure and expressiveness of the admissible queries. In particular, different sets of admissible queries correspond to different types of attacks. In this paper, we propose a logical framework that can represent different attack models uniformly. Specifically, in the framework, individuals that satisfy the same subset of admissible queries are considered indiscernible by the attacker. By partitioning a social network into equivalence classes (i.e., information granules) based on the indiscernibility relation, we can generalize the privacy criteria developed for tabulated data to social network data. To exemplify the usability of the framework, we consider two instances of the framework, where the sets of admissible queries are the ALCI and ALCQI concept terms respectively; and we exploit social position analysis techniques to compute their indiscernibility relations. We also show how the framework can be extended to deal with the privacy-preserving publication of weighted social network data. The uniformity of the framework provides us with a common ground to compare existing attack models; while its generality could extend the scope of research to meet privacy concerns in the era of social semantic computing. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Inversive meadows and divisive meadowsJ. A. Bergstra | C. A. Middelburg
Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 203-220
Inversive meadows are commutative rings with a multiplicative identity element and a total multiplicative inverse operation satisfying 0 -1=0. Divisive meadows are inversive meadows with the multiplicative inverse operation replaced by a division operation. We give finite equational specifications of the class of all inversive meadows and the class of all divisive meadows. It depends on the angle from which they are viewed whether inversive meadows or divisive meadows must be considered more basic. We show that inversive and divisive meadows of rational numbers can be obtained as initial algebras of finite equational specifications. In the spirit of Peacock's arithmetical algebra, we study variants of inversive and divisive meadows without an additive identity element and/or an additive inverse operation. We propose simple constructions of variants of inversive and divisive meadows with a partial multiplicative inverse or division operation from inversive and divisive meadows. Divisive meadows are more basic if these variants are considered as well. We give a simple account of how mathematicians deal with 1/0, in which meadows and a customary convention among mathematicians play prominent parts, and we make plausible that a convincing account, starting from the popular computer science viewpoint that 1/0 is undefined, by means of some logic of partial functions is not attainable. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The countable versus uncountable branching recurrences in computability logicWenyan Xu | Sanyang Liu
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 431-446
This paper introduces a new simplified version of the countable branching recurrence of Computability Logic, proves its equivalence to the old one, and shows that the basic logic induced by (i.e., the one in the signature {¬,א,א,}) is a proper superset of the basic logic induced by the uncountable branching recurrence (i.e., the one in the signature {¬ א,א}). A further result of this paper is showing that is strictly weaker than in the sense that F logically implies F but not vice versa. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Sound approximate reasoning about saturated conditional probabilistic independence under controlled uncertaintySebastian Link
Volume 11, Issue 3, September 2013, Pages 309-327
Knowledge about complex events is usually incomplete in practice. We distinguish between random variables that can be assigned a designated marker to model missing data values, and certain random variables to which the designated marker cannot be assigned. The ability to specify an arbitrary set of certain random variables provides an effective mechanism to control the uncertainty in form of missing data values. A finite axiomatization for the implication problem of saturated conditional independence statements is established under controlled uncertainty, relative to discrete probability measures. The completeness proof utilizes special probability models where two assignments have probability one half. The special probability models enable us to establish an equivalence between the implication problem and that of a propositional fragment in Cadoli and SchaerfE-s S-3 logic. Here, the propositional variables in S correspond to the random variables specified to be certain. The duality leads to an almost linear time algorithm to decide implication. It is shown that this duality cannot be extended to cover general conditional independence statements. All results subsume classical reasoning about saturated conditional independence statements as the idealized special case where every random variable is certain. Under controlled uncertainty, certain random variables allow us to soundly approximate classical reasoning about saturated conditional independence statements. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
Two adaptive logics of norm-propositionsMathieu Beirlaen | Christian Straßer
Volume 11, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 147-168
We present two defeasible logics of norm-propositions (statements about norms) that (i) consistently allow for the possibility of normative gaps and normative conflicts, and (ii) map each premise set to a sufficiently rich consequence set. In order to meet (i), we define the logic LNP, a conflict- and gap-tolerant logic of norm-propositions capable of formalizing both normative conflicts and normative gaps within the object language. Next, we strengthen LNP within the adaptive logic framework for non-monotonic reasoning in order to meet (ii). This results in the adaptive logics LNPr and LNPm, which interpret a given set of premises in such a way that normative conflicts and normative gaps are avoided 'whenever possible'. LNPr and LNPm are equipped with a preferential semantics and a dynamic proof theory. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
The Ackermann approach for modal logic, correspondence theory and second-order reductionRenate A. Schmidt
Volume 10, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 52-74
The problem of eliminating second-order quantification over predicate symbols is in general undecidable. Since an application of second-order quantifier elimination is correspondence theory in modal logic, understanding when second-order quantifier elimination methods succeed is an important problem that sheds light on the kinds of axioms that are equivalent to first-order correspondence properties and can be used to obtain complete axiomatizations for modal logics. This paper introduces a substitution-rewrite approach based on Ackermann s Lemma to second-order quantifier elimination in modal logic. Compared to related approaches, the approach includes a number of enhancements: The quantified symbols that need to be eliminated can be flexibly specified. The inference rules are restricted by orderings compatible with the elimination order, which provides more control and reduces non-determinism in derivations thereby increasing the efficiency and success rate. The approach is equipped with a powerful notion of redundancy, allowing for the flexible definition of practical simplification and optimization techniques. We present correctness, termination and canonicity results, and consider two applications: (i) computing first-order frame correspondence properties for modal axioms and rules, and (ii) rewriting second-order modal problems to equivalent simpler forms. The approach allows us to define and characterize two new classes of formulae, which are elementary and canonical, and subsume the class of Sahlqvist formulae and the class of monadic inductive formulae. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Reasoning about conditional probabilities in a higher-order-logic theorem proverOsman Hasan | Sofiène Tahar
Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 23-40
In the field of probabilistic analysis, the concept of conditional probability plays a major role for estimating probabilities when some partial information concerning the result of the experiment is available. This paper presents a higher-order-logic definition of conditional probability and the formal verification of some classical properties of conditional probability, such as, the total probability law and Bayes' theorem. This infrastructure, implemented in the HOL theorem prover, allows us to precisely reason about conditional probabilities for probabilistic systems within the sound core of HOL and thus proves to be quite useful for the analysis of systems used in safety-critical domains, such as space, medicine and transportation. To demonstrate the usefulness of our approach, we provide the precise probabilistic analysis of the binary asymmetric channel, a widely used concept in communication theory, within the HOL theorem prover. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Modal definability of first-order formulas with free variables and query answeringStanislav Kikot | Evgeny Zolin
Volume 11, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 190-216
We present an algorithmically efficient criterion of modal definability for first-order existential conjunctive formulas with several free variables. Then we apply it to establish modal definability of some family of first-order ∀ ∃-formulas. Finally, we use our definability results to show that, in any expressive description logic, the problem of answering modally definable conjunctive queries is polynomially reducible to the problem of knowledge base consistency. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
Naturalizing logic: Errors of reasoning vindicated: Logic reapproaches cognitive scienceLorenzo Magnani
Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2015, Pages 13-36
© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.A complete revision of mainstream logic is an urgent task to be achieved. This revision will be able to bring logic into a creative rapprochement with cognitive science. This can be achieved by trying to do for logic what over forty years ago Quine and others attempted for epistemology. It is necessary to propose a "naturalization" of the logic of human inference. This paper deals with an examination of how the naturalization process might go, together with some indication of what might be achieved by it. To assist the reader in understanding the naturalization of logic I will take advantage of my own research on the concept of abduction, which vindicates the positive cognitive value of the fallacy of the affirming the consequent thanks to the so-called EC-model (Eco-Cognitive model), and of the recent book Errors of Reasoning: Naturalizing the Logic of Inference (2013) [86], by John Woods. While this paper certainly aims at promoting the research program on the naturalization of logic, it also further advocates the placement of abduction in the research programmes of logic, and stresses to what extent our contemporary philosophical and logical tradition is indebted towards Charles Sanders Peirce, a thinker often praised for his productivity but whose quality and importance are too often overlooked.
Translating regular expression matching into transducersYuto Sakuma | Yasuhiko Minamide | Andrei Voronkov
Volume 10, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 32-51
Regular expression matching is an essential tool in string manipulating programs and plays crucial roles in scripting languages. We focus on regular expression matching based on the strategy of Perl and develop a translation from regular expression matching into transducers. The representation makes it possible to apply the theory of formal languages in static analysis and verification of string manipulating programs. We first formulate the semantics of regular expression matching as a nondeterministic parser by using the composition of the list and output monads. Then, we transform the nondeterministic parser into deterministic one by introducing lookahead. The deterministic parser is formulated with the option monad instead of the list monad and derived through equational reasoning involving monads. From the definition of the deterministic parser, we can easily construct transducers through transducers with regular lookahead. We have implemented the translation and conducted experiments on regular expressions found in several popular PHP programs. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
An epistemic and dynamic approach to abductive reasoning: Abductive problem and abductive solutionFernando R. Velázquez-Quesada | Fernando Soler-Toscano | Ángel Nepomuceno-Fernández
Volume 11, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 505-522
We propose a study of abductive reasoning addressing it as an epistemic process that involves both an agent's information and the actions that modify this information. More precisely, we present and discuss definitions of an abductive problem and an abductive solution in terms of an agent's information, that is, in terms of knowledge and beliefs. The discussion is then formalised by 'implementing' our definitions in a dynamic epistemic logic framework, where the properties of these definitions are studied, an epistemic action that represents the application of an abductive step is introduced, and an illustrative example is provided. A number of the most interesting properties of abductive reasoning (those highlighted by Peirce) are shown to be better modelled within this approach. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. © 2013ElsevierB.V.Allrightsreserved.
Proof theory and mathematical meaning of paraconsistent C-systemsPaolo Gentilini
Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 171-202
A proof-theoretic analysis and new arithmetical semantics are proposed for some paraconsistent C-systems, which are a relevant sub-class of Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs) introduced by W.A. Carnielli et al. (2002, 2005) [8,9]. The sequent versions BC, CI, CIL of the systems bC, Ci, Cil presented in Carnielli et al. (2002, 2005) [8,9] are introduced and examined. BC, CI, CIL admit the cut-elimination property and, in general, a weakened sub-formula property. Moreover, a formal notion of constructive paraconsistent system is given, and the constructivity of CI is proven. Further possible developments of proof theory and provability logic of CI-based arithmetical systems are sketched, and a possible weakened Hilbert's program is discussed. As to the semantical aspects, arithmetical semantics interprets C-system formulas into Provability Logic sentences of classical Arithmetic PA (Artemov and Beklemishev (2004) [2], Japaridze and de Jongh (1998) [19], Gentilini (1999) [15], Smorynski (1991) [22]): thus, it links the notion of truth to the notion of provability inside a classical environment. It makes true infinitely many contradictions B¬B and falsifies many arbitrarily complex instances of non-contradiction principle ¬(A¬A). Moreover, arithmetical models falsify both classical logic LK and intuitionistic logic LJ, so that a kind of metalogical completeness property of LFI-paraconsistent logic w.r.t. arithmetical semantics is proven. As a work in progress, the possibility to interpret CI-based paraconsistent Arithmetic PACI into Provability Logic of classical Arithmetic PA is discussed, showing the role that PACI arithmetical models could have in establishing new meta-mathematical properties, e.g. in breaking classical equivalences between consistency statements and reflection principles. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Automata for the verification of monadic second-order graph propertiesBruno Courcelle | Irène Durand
Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 368-409
The model-checking problem for monadic second-order logic on graphs is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to tree-width and clique-width. The proof constructs finite automata from monadic second-order sentences. These automata recognize the terms over fixed finite signatures that define graphs satisfying the given sentences. However, this construction produces automata of hyper-exponential sizes, and is thus impossible to use in practice in many cases. To overcome this difficulty, we propose to specify the transitions of automata by programs instead of tables. Such automata are called fly-automata. By using them, we can check certain monadic second-order graph properties with limited quantifier alternation depth, that are nevertheless interesting for Graph Theory. We give explicit constructions of automata relative to graphs of bounded clique-width, and we report on experiments. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

'Kill Anything That Moves' painstakingly recounts Vietnam War atrocities
Nick Turse's "Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam" (Metropolitan Books) is one of the most sobering books of the year, a detailed and thoroughly sourced account of the murder, torture and rape of Vietnamese noncombatants during the war.
The My Lai massacre, far from being an isolated incident, was part of a pattern of behavior exemplified by the title of Turse's book. As far back as 1971, Vietnam veteran Charles McDuff wrote to President Richard Nixon, "Maybe your advisors have not clued you in, but the atrocities that were committed in Mylai are eclipsed by similar American actions throughout the country." »Read Full Article

Mets hero and Triple-A manager Wally Backman apparently caused a bit of a stir in the organization when he vowed to fix broken first baseman Ike Davis, according to a report by David Lennon in Newsday.
Confidence and swagger?
Apparently such sentiments don't sit well with GM Sandy Alderson and his Ivy League front office, a collection of executives who seem more concerned with squashing Backman's positive rhetoric than, you know, actually acquiring players who can improve the laughingstock of MLB.
Nice job prioritizing, guys.
Who wants confidence and swagger when you can be 12 games under .500, utterly irrelevant and playing in an empty stadium, right?
Besides, it's not like the traumatized Davis can use a little ego boost as he tries to rebuild a broken career.
Fans are in love with Backman, a feisty icon on the 1986 team. Been that way for years.
Yet when asked about his chances of ever landing the big league managerial gig, a person familiar with the situation told Lennon: "There's zero chance of that happening. Zero."
Apparently, it's not the Alderson way.
We'll see.
Backman's got a credible resume as a Minor League skipper, knows the players in the system – and if he does manage to fix Davis, the swell of support would be overwhelming.
If the Mets lose 100 games this year -- which they are well on their way to doing -- change will be inevitable. Extending Terry Collins would be a head-scratcher.
And promoting Bob Geren, reportedly an Alderson favorite, will only outrage whatever fans the organization hasn't managed to alienate just yet.
Empty seats and empty pockets change minds.
Backman may be the one man in all of baseball who can wipe away the years of negativity that have engulfed this franchise.
If things continue, he deserves his chance.
