Temporal Logics are a popular formalism for specification of properties in the verification of reactive systems. They can be employed to reason about the behavior of systems with the evolution of time. For example one can specify that an event corresponding to the request of a resource is eventually followed by an event corresponding to its grant. Linear-time Temporal Logic (LTL) is one such fo...

Background: From the time immemorial man has been exposed to ionizing radiation from the environment in which he lives. Radiation protection concepts and philosophy have been evolving over the past several decades. Materials and Methods: The radioprotective of effect of Aloe vera leaf extract (1000 mg /kg b.wt. orally for 15 consecutive days) has been studied against 6 Gy of gamma radiation in ...

The thesis studies the following problem: Given a set of geometrical figures (such as planar polygons), each one labelled according to whether or not it resembles some "ideal" figure, find a good approximation to that ideal figure which can be used to classify other figures in the same way. We work within the PAC learning model introduced by Valiant in 1984. Informally, the concepts under consi...
