BACKGROUND E-communities, social groups interacting online, have recently become an object of interdisciplinary research. As with face-to-face meetings, Internet exchanges may not only include factual information but also emotional information--how participants feel about the subject discussed or other group members. Emotions in turn are known to be important in affecting interaction partners i...

We address the relative expressiveness of defeasible logics in the framework DL. Relative expressiveness is formulated as the ability to simulate the reasoning of one logic within another logic. We show that such simulations must be modular, in the sense that they also work if applied only to part of a theory, in order to achieve a useful notion of relative expressiveness. We present simulation...

In this letter, we provide a formal framework for comparing the expressive power of Behavior Trees (BTs) to other action selection architectures. Taking inspiration from analogous comparisons structural programming methodologies, formalise concept `expressiveness'. This leads us an expressiveness hierarchy control architectures, which includes BTs, Decision (DTs), Teleo-reactive Programs (TRs) ...

An approach to formulating relative expressiveness of defeasible logics was introduced in [14]. In this paper we address the relative expressiveness of the well-founded defeasible logics in the framework WFDL and their relationship to the defeasible logics in the framework DL. We show that, in terms of defeasible reasoning, the logics in WFDL have greater (or equal) expressiveness than those in...

By two-three months, infants show active social expressions during face-to-face interactions. These interactions are important, as they provide the foundation for later emotional regulation and cognition, but little is known about how infant social expressiveness develops. We considered two different accounts. One emphasizes the contingency of parental responsiveness, regardless of its form; th...

Covid 19 is a turning point in the development of society and certainly it has an impact on language general advertising particular. This article analyses complex nexus multi-dimensional impacts pandemic text. The text oversaturated with linguistic means, help which information most effectively transmitted, aimed at potential consumer order to encourage them take action related acquisition (use...

We study a simple software architecture, in which application processes are coordinated by writing into and reading from a global set. This architecture underlies Splice, which is developed and used at the company Hollandse Signaalapparaten. Our approach is distinguished by viewing the architecture as a component itself, described formally by means of process algebra. Two results are proved. Fi...

The article discusses the main issues related to history of phrasal verbs. Particular attention is paid analysis verbs used in economic discourse from point view their communicative function and peculiarities interpretation for a foreign-language audience. provides examples use discourse, using example various journals devoted economics. In process analyzing verbs, author makes it clear that be...
