Engaging in a debate with oneself or others to take decisions is an integral part of our day-today life. A debate on a topic (say, use of performance enhancing drugs) typically proceeds by one party making an assertion/claim (say, PEDs are bad for health) and then providing an evidence to support the claim (say, a 2006 study shows that PEDs have psychiatric side effects). In this work, we propo...

In the text, a proof is given of a result with a similar statement that a partially ordered set with height k is a union of k C 1 antichains (the number is k C 1 because the height of partially ordered set is the defined to be the number of links in the longest chain, and there is one more node in the chain than the number of links). The introduction to Dilworth’s Theorem claims that it has a s...

The following claim will be used to verify that an index satisfies Continuity. Claim 1 Any index that is a continuous function of the T n g 's (the numbers of each group g in each school n) represents an ordering that satisfies the axiom of Continuity.

In this position paper, we analyze ways that a human can best be involved in interactive artificial learning against a backdrop of traditional AI programming and conventional artificial learning. Our primary claim is that interactive artificial learning can produce a higher return on human investment than conventional methods, meaning that performance of the agent exceeds performance of traditi...

Most systems implement statically declared attributes for performance reasons. This paper gives a first indication that also for dynamic attributes whose implementation is not based on static declarations, performance can be very good, while offering more flexibility. Their implementation in hProlog is shown. The differences with existing systems are indicated. Small benchmarks make the claim h...

Abstract—Adapting transmission parameters to the future channel state is an appealing approach to improve efficiency in wireless communication. Adaptation requires predicting the channel state. Current channel-adaptive techniques assume perfect prediction. In this paper, we claim that neglecting the prediction error leads to poor performance results, possibly even worse than without prediction ...

This article examines how Indigenous Australians‟ claims to their land are represented in the mainstream, non-Indigenous Australian media. In so doing, the article explores the common tropes available to non-Indigenous Australians in relation to Indigenous ownership of land, and in particular the native title system. It is argued that whilst initial land claims are discussed in detail within th...

In a recent study Ellegård, Goldsmith, Hay, and Morton concluded that electrogustometry is neither mediated by sour taste receptors, nor reflects sour taste quality. While aspects of electric taste await a full explanation, such farreaching claims have significant implications for the future of electrogustometry in clinical practice. The current paper presents a critique of the grounds upon whi...
