Proof theory and semantics of an adaptive logic that deals adequately with change in individuals with or without a name are presented. New logical constants are introduced, viz. indicators. Within a given context they function as names, predicates and quantifiers at the same time. The thus extended language (of classical logic) has a big expressive power and solves —partly— the (classical) non-...

Visual and auditory reaction times (VRT and ART) were studied in 38 male and 41 female healthy medical students in the age group of 17-18 years. Subjects were presented with two visual stimuli viz red and green light stimuli and two auditory stimuli viz high pitch and low pitch sound stimuli. The R.T. to red light was significantly lower than to green light stimulus in both sexes. No statistica...

At an analytical level, the international dimensions of environmental policies may be divided into three categories, viz. national (or competitiveness), psychological (non-physical) and transboundary pollution problems (global externalities). It is argued that only the third problem (viz. degradation of regional or global commons) ought appropriately to be seen as being truly international (or ...

length-weight relationship and condition factor were investigated in seven fish species, including barbus cyri , capoeta gracilis , alburnoides eichwaldi , acanthalbarnus microlepis , ponticola cyrius , cobitis keyvani and oxynemacheilus bergianus from totkabon river. a total of 570 specimens ranging from 25.90 to 146.97 mm in total length and 0.1 to 260.3 g in total weight were collected. base...

Antimicrobial activity of the folklore medicinal plant species, Acalypha fruticosa in the part of stem bark by using three alcoholic solvents viz; petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol were tested against ten human pathogenic bacteria viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. stutzeri, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus sp., Lactobacillus sp., Servatia sp., Moraxetta sp., Bacillus subtilis, B. Research...

The present study was aimed to screen the anti-bacterial properties of medicinally important ferns viz., Adiantum caudatum L., Adiantum latifolium Lam. and Adiantum lunulatum Burm against the selected UTI pathogens. Anti-bacterial study was carried out by disc diffusion method against the pathogens viz., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus maximum degree of antibac...

In this work we perform experiments with the recently published work on Capsule Networks. Capsule Networks have been shown to deliver state of the art performance for MNIST and claim to have greater discriminative power than Convolutional Neural Networks for special tasks, such as recognizing overlapping digits. The authors of Capsule Networks have evaluated datasets with low number of categori...

This paper formulates what I think is the basic problem of any attempt to characterise the abstract structure of scientific method, viz., that it has to satisfy two conflicting desiderata: it should be ampliative (contentincreasing) and it should confer epistemic warrant on its outcomes. Then, after two extreme solutions to the problem of the method, viz., Enumerative Induction and the Method o...

A common way to interpret the results of any computational model is to visualize its output. For probabilistic programming, this often means visualizing a posterior probability distribution. The webppl language has a visualization library called webppl-viz that facilitates this process. A useful feature of webppl-viz is that it does some amount of automatic visualization—the user simply passes ...

The title compound, C(12)H(9)BrN(2)OS(2), consists of two planar parts, viz. the thio-phene ring including all substituents (r.m.s. deviation 0.007 Å) and the benzene ring including the respective substituents as well as the thione group (r.m.s. deviation 0.05 Å). The inter-planar angle is 18.84 (6)°. An intra-molecular C(phen-yl)-N-H⋯OC hydrogen bond is observed. The three-dimensional packing ...
