Temperature dependent non-monotonic bands shift in ZrTe 5

Non-monotonic temperature response of polymer mediated interactions.

In a recent publication, Feng et al. [Feng et al., Nat. Mater., 2015, 14, 61] reported a very interesting re-entrant solidification behaviour of colloidal particles in an aqueous solution containing polyethylene oxide (PEO). In this system, a crystalline colloidal phase, which is present at low temperatures, melts to a homogeneous fluid upon increasing the temperature. Further raising the tempe...

Non-monotonic reasoning in interpretation

The original article of Thomason pursues two goals: first to outline the central logical issues of non-monotonic reasoning, and second to indicate possible applications of nonmonotonic reasoning techniques in linguistics. This appendix will follow up on Thomason’s second goal and show that linguists have taken up his invitation to use nonmonotonic logic as a formal tool. Particularly in the new...

Non-Monotonic Reasoning in FLORID

The advantages of Florid as a deductive object{oriented database system are the rich object{oriented modeling facilities of its language F-logic. The focus of this paper is on Florid's multiple inheritance mechanism which turns out to be a useful means to adapt various examples of nonmonotonic reasoning in the object{oriented setting.

Non-monotonic Negativity

The main aim of this paper is to provide a new analysis of licensers of negative polarity items (NPIs). The problems with Fauconnier-Ladusaw's downward entailment analysis have been argued since Linebarger (1980). I will show that there exists a class of weak NPI licensers characterized by non-monotonicity and exclusivity. Weak negation, which is monotone decreasing, has been known to license w...
