This paper is a general review of several circuit-based battery model in the bibliography. The paper does not supply detailed information on how to identify the several parameters of the models, and only define a short family of models, but not discuss the exhaustive use of these models. Two main families of models are shown, elementary and dynamic. A general explication of the dynamic model is...

Bayesian decision theory is here construed as explicating a particular concept of rational choice and Bayesian probability is taken to be the concept of probability used in that theory. Bayesian probability is usually identified with the agent’s degrees of belief but that interpretation makes Bayesian decision theory a poor explication of the relevant concept of rational choice. A satisfactory ...

Intrusion tolerance is a recent approach to deal with intentional and malicious failures. It combines the research on fault tolerance with the research on security, and relies on the means of proactive security. The development of a fault-tolerant system requires the explication of its underlying fault assumptions. In this context, we propose a viewpoint on faults that discriminates whether the...

Logo nanoworlds are small educational environments for Logo programming that focus on the mediation of intuitive models of informatics concepts. These are coherent Gestalt-like mental concepts, which are based on experience and which are subjectively certain (Fischbein 1987). Typical features of Logo nanoworlds are Visualisation of activity defined by a Logo programme Only a few Logo syntax ele...

Systemic functional linguistics offers a grammar that is semantically organised, so that salient grammatical choices are made explicit. This paper describes the explication of these choices through the conversion of the Penn Treebank into a systemic functional grammar corpus. Developing such a resource can help connect work in natural language processing to a significant body of research dealin...

Studies of the mechanisms by which estrogens influence brain function and behavior have advanced from the explication of individual hormone receptors, neural circuitry and individual gene expression. Now, we can report patterns of estrogen receptor subtype contributions to patterns of behavior. Moreover, new work demonstrates important contributions of nuclear receptor coactivator expression in...

Our study concerns tacit knowledge that has been one of the most discussed concepts in the field of contemporary knowledge management. We are particularly interested in the issues concerning 1) the nature of tacit knowledge, and 2) the idea of explication of tacit knowledge. We approach these questions from the perspective of cognitive science. Tacit knowledge is deeply related to conceptual mo...

This schema, restricted in some way in order to avoid the paradoxes, is said to capture the whole content of our intuitive notion of truth. In effect truth is called sometimes a “purely logical” device a predicate devoid of content, which doesn’t express any substantial relation between our language and the world. According to one proposal, conservativeness is a good explication of this “conten...

The Diagnostic Guidelines Task Force of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) presents in this document and this special issue a summary of the current nosological status of bipolar illness, a discussion of possible revisions to current DSM-IV and ICD-10 definitions, an examination of the relevant literature, explication of areas of consensus and dissensus, and proposed definit...
