Inductive Beluga: Programming Proofs

belugais a proof environment that provides a rich sophisticated infrastructure for implementing formal systems based on the logical framework LF together with a first-order reasoning language for implementing inductive proofs about them following the Curry-Howard

Immune functions in beluga whales

Natural killer (NK) activity, an important non-specific defense mechanism against viral infections and tumors, was demonstrated in beluga whales using two different methods: “‘Cr release and flow cytometry. Using the “Cr release assay, NK activity in belugas was shown to be higher against K-562 than against YAC-1 cell lines. Moreover, it was enhanced by the addition of human recombinant interle...

Beluga: A Framework for Programming and Reasoning with Deductive Systems

Beluga is an environment for programming and reasoning about formal systems given by axioms and inference rules. It implements the logical framework LF for specifying and prototyping formal systems via higher-order abstract syntax. It also supports reasoning: the user implements inductive proofs about formal systems as dependently typed recursive functions. A distinctive feature of Beluga is th...

The Genome of the Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas)

The beluga whale is a cetacean that inhabits arctic and subarctic regions, and is the only living member of the genus Delphinapterus. The genome of the beluga whale was determined using DNA sequencing approaches that employed both microfluidic partitioning library and non-partitioned library construction. The former allowed for the construction of a highly contiguous assembly with a scaffold N5...
