We present TeMP—the first experimental system for testing validity of monodic temporal logic formulae. The prover implements fine-grained temporal resolution. The core operations required by the procedure are performed by an efficient resolution-based prover for classical first-order logic. 1 Monodic First-Order Temporal Logic First-Order Temporal Logic, FOTL, is an extension of classical first...

BACKGROUND Left atrial-esophageal fistula is a serious and poorly understood complication of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study was to (1) develop a canine model of esophageal injury and left atrial-esophageal fistula after applications of forward-firing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and side-firing unfocused ultrasound (SFU); (2) examine the relation...

As a multicellular animal’s tissues mature throughout embryogenesis, its cells must communicate with each another to determine their appropriate placement and physiological role. In some cases, this communication takes place through longrange, secreted signals; in others, through direct cell-cell contact. One example of the latter case is a process called lateral inhibition, wherein a developin...

Rate of heat transfer ∂u = (1) −K0 area ∂x where K0 is the thermal conductivity, units [K0] = MLT U . In other words, heat is transferred from areas of high temp to low temp. 3. Conservation of energy. Consider a uniform rod of length l with non-uniform temperature lying on the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l. By uniform rod, we mean the density ρ, specific heat c, thermal conductivity K0, cross-sec...

Early work on information flow security sought to develop theories for proving the absence of unwanted information leakage in high-assurance systems, like those that process classified data. Decades later, modern security-critical systems are more prevalent, face greater security threats, but are rarely formally proved to be information-flow secure, not least because doing so remains fairly exp...

This paper selects two typical compounds containing organic sulfur as model compounds. Then, by analyzing the chromatograms of gaseous low-temp oxidation products and GC/MS of the extractable matter of the oxidation residue, we summarizing the mechanism of low-temp sulfur model compound oxidation. The results show that between 30°C to 80°C, the interaction between diphenyl sulfide and oxygen is...

approved: John P. Bolte The WET-Temp (Watershed Evaluation Tool Temperature) model is designed to take advantage of spatially explicit datasets to predict stream temperature distribution. Datasets describing vegetation cover, stream network locations, elevation and stream discharge are utilized by WET-Temp to quantify geometric relationships between the sun, stream channel and riparian areas. T...
