Back and forth through t ime and events ( Extended Abstract )
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this extended abstract back-and-forth structures are defined and applied to the semantics of natural language. Back-and-forth structures consist of an event structure and an interval structure communicating via a relational link; transitions in the one structure correspond to transitions in the other. Such structures enable us to view temporal constructions (such as tense, aspect, and temporal connectives) as methods of moving systematically between information sources. We illustrate this with a treatment of the English present perfect, and progressive aspect, that draws on ideas developed in Moens and Steedman (1988).

Dihomotopy Classes of Dipaths in the Geometric Realization of a Cubical Set: from Discrete to Continuous and back again
This extended abstract should be considered as an overview of some results, and the more precise statements and proofs are found in the references. Hence the approach here is less rigorous than in the references. The new results presented at Dagstuhl are in [1] and [3]. The subject is directed topology in spaces which have been subdivided into cubes. Such spaces are used as the geometric model ...

Scorpion venom contains different toxins with multiple biological functions. IMe-AGAP is the first Analgesic-Antitumor like Peptide (AGAP) isolated from Iranian scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus. This peptide is similar to AGAP toxin with high analgesic activity, extracted from Chinese scorpion and inhibits NaV1.8 and NaV1.9 voltage-gated sodium channels involved in the ...
