We present a denotational semantics based on Banach spaces ; it is inspired from the familiar coherent semantics of linear logic, the role of coherence being played by the norm : coherence is rendered by a supremum, whereas incoherence is rendered by a sum, and cliques are rendered by vectors of norm at most 1. The basic constructs of linear (and therefore intuitionistic) logic are implemented ...

The conventional approach to sampling signals or images follows the celebrated Shannon sampling theorem: the sampling rate must be at least twice the maximum frequency present in the signal (the so-called Nyquist rate). In fact, this principle underlies nearly all signal acquisition protocols used in consumer audio and visual electronics, medical imaging devices, radio receivers, and so on. In ...

Abstract Chinweizu’s wide-ranging and copious intellectual output persistently brings into sharp focus penetrating analysis of Asia’s contemporary rise (read in Chinweizuan terms as autonomous modernization industrialization) juxtaposition to Africa’s de-industrialization with it her firm rootedness at the periphery global power. “Africa’s Staticity-Asia’s Rise” is a binary that bothers Chinwei...

This research asks how The Nature Conservancy reconciles the coherence of its ecoregional perspective with the incoherence of the world political system. To answer this question, I argue in favor of an analytical strategy that grounds determinations of agency and relevance upon a systematic evaluation of the axiological, ontological, and political characteristics of the entity under considerati...

The importance of DNAmicroarrays and Tag-Antitag (TAT) systems has prompted the recent development of various approaches for high-fidelity design, including analytical methods based on an ensemble average error probability per conformation, or computational incoherence ( ). Although predictions for dilute inputs indicate the easy attainment of excellent fidelity, recently a sharp phase transiti...

Recent developments in ontology learning research have made it possible to generate significantly more expressive ontologies. Novel approaches can support human ontology engineers in rapidly creating logically complex and richly axiomatized schemas. Although the higher complexity increases the likelihood of modeling flaws, there is currently little tool support for diagnosing and repairing onto...
