Possibilistic logic provides a convenient tool for dealing with inconsistency and handling uncertainty. In this paper, we propose possibilistic description logics as an extension of description logics. We give semantics and syntax of possibilistic description logics. We then define two inference services in possibilistic description logics. Since possibilistic inference suffers from the drownin...

Background Unintentional drowning and accidental hypothermia are important causes of death worldwide, and may occur simultaneously. In the case of severe accidental hypothermia with cardiac arrest, recent guidelines recognised extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and cardiopulmonary bypass as safe and effective rewarming techniques, with survival rates of approximately 50%. We assessed wh...
