I systematically defend a novel account of the grounds for identity and distinctness facts: they are all uniquely zero-grounded. First, this Null Account is shown to avoid range problems facing other accounts: relation satisfying would be an excellent candidate being relation. Second, plenitudinist view relations suggests that there such To flesh out sketch framework expressing real definitions...

This project consisted of performance testing and evaluation of concrete containing high-carbon fly ash and carbon fibers. One of the primary aims of this project was to further determine the effect of using high-carbon fly ash and carbon fibers on the electrical properties of concrete. This is a part of the continuing work performed initially by the UWM Center for By-Products Utilization (UWM-...

Understanding grounding-line dynamics is necessary for predictions of long-term ice-sheet stability. However, despite growing observations of the tidal influence on grounding-line migration, this short-timescale migration is poorly understood, with most modeling attempts assuming beam theory to calculate displacements. Here we present an improved model of tidal grounding-line migration that tre...

Resonant grounding is efficient system for grounding electrical appliances. Unlike solidly grounded system where the fault current developed keeps circulating in the system causing arcing and other heat losses which end up causing total power failure. The action of resonant grounding in Nigerian power system was critically studied in this work. In Nigerian power system, solid grounding has been...

Grounding a human to the earth has resulted in changes in the physiology of the body. A pilot study on grounding and eccentric contractions demonstrated shortened duration of pain, reduced creatine kinase (CK), and differences in blood parameters. This follow-up study was conducted to investigate the effects of grounding after moderate eccentric contractions on pain, CK, and complete blood coun...

Grounding (i.e. localizing) arbitrary, free-form textual phrases in visual content is a challenging problem with many applications for human-computer interaction and image-text reference resolution. Although many data sources contain images which are described with sentences or phrases, they typically do not provide the spatial localization of the phrases. This is true for both curated datasets...

A language grounding problem is considered for nonuniform sets of modal conjunctions consisting of conjunctions extended with more than one modal operator of knowledge, belief or possibility. The grounding is considered in the context of semiotic triangles built from language symbols, communicative cognitive agents and external objects. The communicative cognitive agents are assumed to be able ...
