Compiling Specificity Into Approaches to Nonmonotonic Reasoning
We present a general approach for introducing specificity information into nonmonotonic theories. Historically, many approaches to nonmonotonic reasoning, including default logic, circumscription, and autoepistemic logic, do not provide an account of specificity, and so fail to enforce specificity among default sentences. In our approach, a default theory is initially given as a set of strict a...
متن کاملEntering and exiting the protein-polyelectrolyte coacervate phase via nonmonotonic salt dependence of critical conditions.
Critical conditions for coacervation of poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) with bovine serum albumin were determined as a function of ionic strength, pH, and protein/polyelectrolyte stoichiometry. The resultant phase boundaries, clearly defined with this narrow molecular weight distribution PDADMAC sample, showed nonmonotonic ionic strength dependence, with the pH-induced onset of...
متن کاملSpecificity of polyamine effects on NaCl-induced ion flux kinetics and salt stress amelioration in plants.
Polyamine (PA) levels in plants increase considerably under saline conditions. Because such an increase is believed to be beneficial for stress resistance, exogenous application of PAs has often been advocated as a means of ameliorating the detrimental effects of salinity. Results, however, are rather controversial, ranging from a significant amelioration to being ineffective or even toxic. The...
متن کاملNonmonotonic variation with salt concentration of the second virial coefficient in protein solutions.
The osmotic virial coefficient B2 of globular protein solutions is calculated as a function of added salt concentration at fixed pH by computer simulations of the "primitive model." The salt and counterions as well as a discrete charge pattern on the protein surface are explicitly incorporated. For parameters roughly corresponding to lysozyme, we find that B2 first decreases with added salt con...
متن کاملIon specificity at the peptide bond: molecular dynamics simulations of N-methylacetamide in aqueous salt solutions.
Affinities of alkali cations and halide anions for the peptide group were quantified using molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous solutions of N-methylacetamide using both nonpolarizable and polarizable force fields. Potassium and, more strongly, sodium exhibit an affinity for the carbonyl oxygen of the amide group, while none of the halide anions shows any appreciable attraction for the ami...
