We take up an idea from the folklore of Answer Set Programming (ASP), namely that choices, integrity constraints along with a restricted rule format is sufficient for ASP. elaborate upon foundations this in context logic Here-and-There and show how it can be derived logical principle extension by definition. then provide austere form programs may serve as normalform similar to conjunctive class...

This study aims to benchmark mean societal costs per client in different home care models and describe characteristics of with the lowest costs. In this prospective longitudinal 6 European countries, 6-month resource utilization 2060 older clients were estimated. Three identified compared based on level patient-centered (PCC), availability specialized professionals (ASP) monitoring performance ...

BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is a significant hospital pathogen, possessing a considerable degree of antimicrobial resistance. A. baumannii resistance to carbapenems and aminoglycosides is mostly conferred by class D OXA carbapenemases and aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, respectively. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of selected genes encoding OXA carbapenemases and...

Answer set programming (ASP) is an appropriate formalism to represent various problems issued from artificial intelligence and arising when available information is incomplete. When dealing with information expressed in terms of ontologies in some tractable description logic language, ASP must be extended to handle existential variables. We present the syntax and semantics of an ASP language wi...

This study investigated the validity of quality culture (QC) and excellent work (EWC) constructs, their effects on academic staff performance (ASP) mediated by EWC in selected West Malaysian higher education institutions (HEIs). The included 1,068 faculty members from eight HEIs. findings showed that QC construct is represented nine separate elements, whereas two factors index both ASP EWC. Mor...

Tetrahydroxanthenones, which can be easily prepared by a domino oxa-Michael aldol condensation, offer various possibilities for diastereoselective functionalization, giving access to the stereocontrolled synthesis of stereochemical triades or tetrades, which represent privileged structural motifs. In most cases, the relative stereochemistry was unequivocally established by crystal structure ana...

The activated sludge process (ASP) is the most widely used biological wastewater treatment system. Advances in research have led to adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particular, Nature-Inspired Algorithm (NIA) techniques such as Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) optimize systems. This has aided reducing complexity computational time ASP modelling. paper cove...

Background. One of the perspectives anticytokine therapy is development synthetic oligopeptides, which can bind and inhibit activity cytokines. The peptide, a structural analogue cytokine-binding region chemokine receptor, interest as ligand for interaction with interleukin-8 (IL-8). aim research was to evaluate Trp-Asp-Phe-Asp IL-8. Material methods. between peptide cytokine evaluated by chang...
