Discourses Addressed to Mixed Congregations

On Discourses Addressed by Infidel Logicians

We attempt to address here some alleged criticisms against the philosophical import of the so-called Brazilian approach to paraconsistency, especially by providing some demanded epistemic elucidations to the whole enterprise of the logics of formal inconsistency. In the way of elucidating, we substantiate the view that difficulties in reasoning under contradictions in both the Buddhist and the ...

Protein Arrays: Issues to Be Addressed

Protein arrays are fast becoming established as a means to monitor protein expression levels and investigate protein interactions and function. They present particular technical demands that will need to be solved in order to achieve the maximum capability of efficient and sensitive protein analysis in the high throughput setting of functional genomics. The following resumé of some major issues...

Answering queries addressed to a rule base

This article deals with answer generations when querying a rule base in the context of a deductive database. A deductive database involves explicit facts, integrity constraints and general rules that allow new facts to be derived. Usually, answering a query addressed to a deductive database, involves the use of both the explicit facts and the rules. We consider here the problem of providing ans...

Fractionally addressed delay lines

While traditional implementations of variable-length digital delay lines are based on a circular buffer accessed by two pointers, we propose an implementation where a single fractional pointer is used both for read and write operations. On modern general-purpose architectures, the proposed method is nearly as efficient as the popular interpolated circular buffer, and it behaves well for delay-l...
