Compounds of indicative conditionals present some puzzling phenomena. Perhaps most striking, some nested indicative conditionals are uninterpretable. Proponents of NTV hold that indicative conditionals do not have truth values, and they use this to explain why nested indicative conditionals are sometimes uninterpretable: the embedded conditional does not provide the truth conditions needed by t...

Introduction: The prescription of biological examinations is the first step in guaranteeing quality results analyzes given by laboratory. Indeed, irregularity requests for makes it difficult to carry out and interpret also compromises optimal rational use diagnostic aid tool that clinical biology purpose this study was assess compliance Biological Examinations Requests (BERs) at Douala General ...

We consider error-rate prediction for dual-use lighting systems with visible light communication (VLC) functionality. Since light planning rather than communications engineering is usually the driving discipline practical settings, we extract VLC channel parameters as a by-product from advanced...

This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the impact of TCP’s advertised receive buffer size and timer granularity on TCP performance over erroneous links in a LEO satellite environment. Conducted simulations include over 200 different combinations of TCP flavor, advertised receive buffer size, timer granularity, and bit error rate. Results show that TCP can only approximate the vari...

In this paper, the fabrication and characterization of triple-shape polymeric composites (TSPCs) that, unlike traditional shape memory polymers (SMPs), are capable of fi xing two temporary shapes and recovering sequentially from the fi rst temporary shape (shape 1) to the second temporary shape (shape 2), and eventually to the permanent shape (shape 3) upon heating, are reported. This is techni...

Poisson's ratio ow diagrams, that is, the Poisson's ratio versus the ber fraction , are obtained numerically for hexagonal arrays of elastic circular bers in an elastic matrix. High numerical accuracy is achieved through the use of an interface integral equation method. Questions concerning xed point theorems and the validity of existing asymptotic relations are investigated and partially resol...
