Addiction and Rehabilitation: A Non-monotonic Computational Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Drug addiction is a worldwide epidemic. To reduce its spread, understanding the nature of addiction is crucial and possible treatments have to be developed. Current models of drug addiction only explain why addiction is overwhelming and cannot be overcome. Instead we focus on the dynamic of addiction, which includes rehabilitation and relapse. The model identifies the combination of factors that may defeat addiction. Thus, our model can provide not only a more complete description of addiction as a process but will also be useful for studying and evaluating possible treatments.

In practice, steel tubulars lack a mathematically perfect cylindrical shape, due to non-uniformities introduced during the manufacturing process, construction methods, damages incurred in the transport. The imperfections might exist in the cross section and along the tubular member. Imperfections can greatly affect the behavior of tubular members. The work presented in this paper is perusing ef...

The use of composite materials is an effective technique to enhance the capacity of reinforced concrete columns subjected to the seismic loading due to their high tensile strength. In this paper, numerical models are developed in order to predict the experimental behavior of square reinforced concrete columns strengthened by glass fiber reinforced polymer and steel bars and unstrengthened colum...
متن کاملThe Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Smartphone Addiction Scale to Persian
Objectives: Various instruments and methods evaluate addiction to the Internet, mobile, and smartphone use. Subject-reported outcome measures, such as the smartphone addiction scale (SAS) assess such addiction. The objectives of this study were to cross-culturally adapt the SAS into Persian (SAS-Pr) and to evaluate the properties of reliability and validity in the Persian setting. Methods: The...
متن کاملOn Abstracting Decision Procedures for Non-monotonic Reasoning
The author has recently introduced a meta-level speciication for non-monotonic theories which has default theories , normal logic programs and separated autoepistemic theories as instances. Semantics including the stable, stationary and regular semantics are generalized for non-monotonic theories satisfying the speciication in a straightforward way. Most importantly, it is possible to prove pro...
متن کاملComplexity of Non-Monotonic Logics
Over the past few decades, non-monotonic reasoning has developed to be one of the most important topics in computational logic and artificial intelligence. The non-monotonicity here refers to the fact that, while in usual (monotonic) reasoning adding more axioms leads to potentially more possible conclusions, in non-monotonic reasoning adding new facts to a knowledge base may prevent previously...
