In this paper we give relational semantics and an accompanying relational proof system for a variety of intuitionistic substructural logics, including (intuitionistic) linear logic with exponentials. Starting with the (Kripke-style) semantics for FL as discussed in [13], we developed, in [11], a relational semantics and a relational proof system for full Lambek calculus. Here, we take this as a...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of aortic depressor nerve (ADN) transection, supranodosal vagi denervation (NG vagi cut) and adrenergic receptor blocker treatment on the cardiovascular responses evoked by systemic injection of bombesin. The cardiovascular effects were studied in spontaneously breathing rats that were (i) bilaterally, midcervically vagotomized (MC vag...

where c(E(S, S̄)) is the sum of the weights of the edges that cross the cut, and D(S, S̄) is the sum of the demands of the pairs (si, ti) that are separated by the cut. We recall that optimizing over the set of cuts is equivalent to optimizing over `1 metrics, and is NP-hard. Instead, we may optimize over the set of all metrics. In this lecture, we bound the gap introduced by this relaxation by s...

INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular agents are pivotal in the therapy of heart failure. Apart from their action on ventricular contractility and systemic afterload, they affect pulmonary arteries and veins. Although these effects are crucial in heart failure with coexisting pulmonary hypertension or lung oedema, they are poorly defined, especially in pulmonary veins. Therefore, we investigated the pulm...

BACKGROUND To guide the administration of blood products, coagulation screening of trauma patients should be fast and accurate. The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between CCT and TEG in trauma, to determine which CCT or TEG parameter is most sensitive in predicting transfusion in trauma, and to define TEG cut-off points for trauma care. METHODS A six-month, prospective ...

BACKGROUND Faecal calprotectin levels correlate with inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease. We evaluated the role of faecal calprotectin after anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor α induction in inflammatory bowel disease patients to predict therapeutic effect at one year. METHODS Faecal calprotectin levels were measured in stools of 63 patients before and after induction of anti-Tumour Necrosis ...

We present OPE predictions for the hadronic mass and q 2 moments in inclusive semileptonic charmless B decays, with a lower cut on the charged lepton energy and an upper cut on the hadronic invariant mass. We include non-perturbative corrections through O(1/m 3 b) and perturba-tive contributions through O(α 2 s β 0). We also investigate the range of the cut on the hadronic mass for which the lo...

We present a set of problem frames specialized to the area of geographic applications. Problem frames describe the elements of common problems, and help a specifier understand and decompose a complex problem into simpler subproblems for which a solution is often known. We provide an overview of the main issues in geographic applications, and present twelve frames that address many of the proble...

The present article argues for what is essentially a return to the functionalist approach to investigation of memory. Two experiments demonstrate that the effects of level of processing depend on scaled meaningfulness of the material and study time. Data from those experiments along with data currently in the literature are then reanalyzed to examine the effect of repetitions. Of particular int...
