Branching Quantification v. Two-way Quantification
We discuss the thesis formulated by Hintikka (1973) that certain natural language sentences require non-linear quantification to express their meaning. We investigate sentences with combinations of quantifiers similar to Hintikka’s examples and propose a novel alternative reading expressible by linear formulae. This interpretation is based on linguistic and logical observations. We report on ou...

متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملFuzzy Quantifiers, Multiple Variable Binding and Branching Quantification
Lindström [1] introduced a very powerful notion of quantifiers, which permits multi-place quantification and the simultaneous binding of several variables. ‘Branching’ quantifification was found to be useful by linguists e.g. for modelling reciprocal constructions like “Most men and most women admire each other”. Westerståhl [2] showed how to compute the three-place Lindström quantifier for “Q1...
متن کاملSpatial mapping and quantification of developmental branching morphogenesis.
Branching morphogenesis is a fundamental developmental mechanism that shapes the formation of many organs. The complex three-dimensional shapes derived by this process reflect equally complex genetic interactions between branching epithelia and their surrounding mesenchyme. Despite the importance of this process to normal adult organ function, analysis of branching has been stymied by the absen...
