All alleles are equal, but some alleles are more equal than others

All Premises Are Equal, but Some Are More Equal than Others

This paper proposes two adaptive approaches to inconsistent prioritized belief bases. Both approaches rely on a selection mechanism, that is not applied to the premises as they stand, but to the consequence sets of the belief levels. One is based on classical compatibility, the other on the modal logic T of Feys. For both approaches the two main strategies of inconsistency adaptive logics are f...

All drug-eluting stents are equal, but some drug-eluting stents are more equal than others.

b t r t a s S g S d s b r a p a T v v p he first battle fought by drug-eluting stents (DES) was ith bare-metal stents. The 2 DES approved by the U.S. ood and Drug Administration, sirolimus drug-eluting tents (S-DES) and paclitaxel drug-eluting stents (P-DES), howed superiority in significantly reducing restenosis rates nd target lesion revascularization rates compared with are-metal stents in a...

All muscle satellite cells are equal, but are some more equal than others?

Skeletal muscle is an accessible adult stem-cell model in which differentiated myofibres are maintained and repaired by a self-renewing stem-cell compartment. These resident stem cells, which are known as satellite cells, lie on the surface of the muscle fibre, between the plasmalemma and overlying basal lamina. Although they are normally mitotically quiescent in adult muscle, satellite cells c...

All PSPACE-Complete Planning Problems Are Equal but Some Are More Equal than Others

Complexity analysis of planning is problematic. Even very simple planning languages are PSPACE-complete, yet cannot model many simple problems naturally. Many languages with much more powerful features are also PSPACE-complete. It is thus difficult to separate planning languages in a useful way and to get complexity figures that better reflect reality. This paper introduces new methods for comp...
