We extend previous work on Delegation Logic (DL) [11, 12], a tractable and practically implementable logic-based language for authorization in large-scale, open, distributed systems. We expressively generalize the previous version of DL (called D1LP) to have nonmonotonic expressive features, including negation-as-failure, classical negation, and prioritized conflict handling. The resulting form...

We derive the Levinson type generalization of the Jensen and the converse Jensen inequality for real Stieltjes measure, not necessarily positive. As a consequence, also the Levinson type generalization of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality is obtained. Similarly, we derive the Levinson type generalization of Giaccardi's inequality. The obtained results are then applied for establishing new mean-va...

Cognitive control, or the ability to focus attention and select task-appropriate responses, is not static but can be dynamically adjusted in the face of changing environmental circumstances. Several models suggest a role for conflict-monitoring in triggering these adjustments, whereby instances of response uncertainty are detected by the anterior cingulate cortex and strengthen attention-guidin...

objective: the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group triple-p on the relationships of mother-child with id (intellectual disability).  methods: in this semi-experimental study with pretest and posttest design by control group, parent-child relationship scale (pcrs) was determined in 40 random clustering selected mothers of children with id before and after the intervention...

Processes through which parental ideology is transmitted to children-especially at a young age prior to the formation of political beliefs-remain poorly understood. Given recent evidence that political ideology is associated with neural responses to cognitive conflict in adults, we tested the exploratory hypothesis that children's neurocognitive responses to conflict may also differ depending o...

Several new trace norm inequalities are established for 2n × 2n block matrices, in the special case where the four n × n blocks are diagonal. Some of the inequalities are non-commutative analogs of Hanner's inequality , others describe the behavior of the trace norm under reordering of diagonal entries of the blocks.

The present study examined the role of children and adolescents' perceptions of self-blame specific to interparental conflict and children and adolescents' coping behaviors in the context of parental depression as predictors of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a sample of 108 youth (age 9-15 years old) of parents with a history of depression. Higher levels of current depressive sympt...

OBJECTIVE To assess international shortfall inequality in life expectancy at birth among women and men and the influence of geography and country income group. METHODS The authors used estimates of life expectancy at birth, by sex, for 12 five-year periods between 1950-1955 and 2005-2010 and estimates of population for the midpoints of each period from the World population prospects, 2008 rev...

In this paper, we will consider an arithmetic analogue of relative Bogomolov's inequality in [14]. We also establish arithmetic Riemann-Roch formulae for stable curves over regular arithmetic varieties and generically nite morphisms of arithmetic varieties.
